A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING OF NANO COPPER FOR SLOW RELEASE, ENHANCED UTILIZATION BY THE PLANTS AND APPLICATION THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed a method of manufacturing of nano copper for slow release, enhanced utilization by the plants. The resultant products nano copper is used as agrochemical (i.e. fertilizer, pesticide, herbicide, fungicide, antimicrobial), but also for other applications, such as, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, catalyst development etc. The bottom up fabrication approach allows the size and other nanoscale properties controlled stable clusters using organic (oligo and polymer units) substrates. From the agrochemical perspective nano copper is applied to plants by foliar application, root drenching or by amending with soil.
