Innovation in Colloidal Fertilizers

Colloidal fertilizers can transform traditional agricultural practices by reducing the number of applications of plant protection products and minimizing nutrient losses in fertilization. Common colloidal fertilizers include carbonaceous nanoparticles, metal oxides, quantum dots, zero-valent metals and nanopolymers. Among them, the metal colloidal particle solution is compatible with all types of fertilizers and pesticides. By making up for the loss of trace elements in the soil, metal colloidal fertilizers can increase the resistance of plants, optimize the metabolic process of plants, and ultimately improve the quality of products. Finally, colloidal fertilizers generate less waste during use, which can effectively improve the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural practices.

Research and Practice of Colloidal Fertilizers

Alfa Chemistry focuses on the research and application of colloidal fertilizers. We are not only able to prepare colloidal fertilizers using physical, chemical and biosynthetic techniques, but also study the mechanism of action of colloidal fertilizers in soil and their interaction with plants. To combat the overuse of inorganic fertilizers, we introduced nanoencapsulation technology, which enables the release of active fertilizer ingredients in a controlled and gradual manner. With this technology, plants are able to absorb most of their nutrient requirements without loss, further increasing the efficiency of the use of colloidal fertilizers.By studying the mechanism of action of colloidal fertilizers, we are able to provide effective technical solutions for crop growth, yield, quality and nutrient use efficiency.
