MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521125650 A) filed by Nano Biolife Private Limited on December 12, 2025, for A Nanoscale Formulation For Sustained Release Of Nutrients For Agricultural Applications And Thereof.
Inventors include Mr Ajith Singh Gujral; Mrs K Aparna; and Mrs Batchu Sowmya.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention relates to the preparation of a nanoformulation using biopolymers (chitosan, cellulose, hemicelluloses, gum acacia, guar gum, starch and lignin) either in the pure form or functionalized bioactive form. The methods involves surface loading / mixing the salts containing the ions including ammonium, potassium, phosphorous, calcium, sulphur, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, boron, molybdenum, nickel, carbon, silver and selenium (alone or in combination) and naturally occurring materials such as rock phosphate, glauconitic on to the nanoscale particulates ( 100 nm size in at least one dimension) of both organic and inorganic up to the desired concentration to utilize them as slow-releasing nanoparticulates encapsulated fertilizers for foliar or fertigation, seed treatment drip irrigation, and drenching applications to enhance the crop productivity and nutrient use efficiency. The invention illustrates the efficacy of plant nutrients containing nanoformulation on the growth and productivity of agricultural crops like, rice, wheat, maize, groundnut, etc.
