Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for preparation of nano-fertilizer composition for improving the bioavailability of plant nutrients.
  • Plants require certain essential nutrients for normal functioning and growth. Nutrient levels outside the amount required for normal functioning and growth may cause overall crop growth and health to decline due to either a deficiency or a toxicity. Nutrient deficiency occurs when an essential nutrient is not available in sufficient quantity to meet the requirements of a growing plant. Toxicity occurs when a nutrient is in excess of plant needs and decreases plant growth or quality.
  • N nitrogen
  • P phosphorous
  • K potassium
  • Ca calcium
  • Mg magnesium
  • S sulfur
  • micronutrients required in small amounts for plant growth are boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo) and selenium (Se).
  • Fertilizers particularly synthetic fertilizers have a major potential to pollute soil, water and air; in recent years, many efforts were done to minimize these problems by agricultural practices and the design of the new improved fertilizers.
  • Water soluble conventional fertilizers typically result in a large amount of macronutrients being lost by leaching and evaporation.
  • Conventional fertilizers are generally applied on the crops by either spraying or broadcasting.
  • one of the major factors that decide the mode of application is the final concentration of the fertilizers reaching to the plant. In practical scenario, very less concentration (much below to minimum desired concentration) reaches to the targeted site due to leaching of chemicals, fixation, drift, runoff, evaporation, hydrolysis by soil moisture, and photolytic and microbial degradation. It has been estimated that around 40-70% of nitrogen, 80-90% of phosphorus, and 50-90% of potassium content of applied fertilizers are lost in the environment and could not reach the plant, which causes sustainable and economic losses.

  • Urea is widely used as a fertilizer and it is believed that more than 80% of the world's urea production is used as a fertilizer. It has the highest nitrogen content (46%) of all solid nitrogen based fertilizers used. Urea in the soil is converted to ammonia by hydrolysis. The ammonia is then oxidized to nitrates by the bacteria present in the soil. The nitrates are then absorbed by the plants for its nutrients. Urea is also used as a base for the manufacture of many other nitrogen based fertilizers.

  • the first step in the process of the present invention is to prepare aqueous solution of plant nutrient by dissolving it in water.

  • Mechanism The presence of amine groups in the PEI molecule attracts nutrient molecules such as urea for example, which in water can have a delta negative (from oxygen in carbonyl) and delta positive charges on Nitrogen due to resonating structure. This leads to weak attachment of urea molecule to amine groups of PEI.
  • Sokalan PA- 25 acts as a cross-linking molecule, thus leading to the formation of PEI-Sokalan PA- 25 cross linked nanoparticle, which has urea embedded inside the nanoparticle.
  • polymer nanoparticle acts as a carrier of urea as illustrated in Figure 1. This process is applicable to other nutrients also and has been disclosed in examples below.
  • Example 1 Process for formation of Nano-urea
