NANOMNIA

Nanomnia Srl is a nano-biotech innovative startup company founded in Feb 2017, and develops on-demand, tailor-made nanoparticle-based solutions for the delivery of specific active compounds. Nanomnia aims to identify precision biotechnologies in agriculture for a better pest management, combining innovative methods with environmental protection. Nanomnia produces organic, biodegradable and biocompatible nanoparticles, for encapsulation of active compounds, such as fertilizers, pesticides and he... rbicides, to be selectively vehicled in plants. Nanoparticles increase the efficiency of crop treatments, further reducing their volatilization and decreasing toxicity and environmental contamination in crops. Nanoparticles are developed by Nanomnia with different biodegradable and biocompatible polymers that do not cause any type of environmental contamination, and are stable during their storage. Thus agri-nanotechnology holds the promise of controlled release of agrochemicals and site targeted delivery of various macromolecules needed for improved plant resistance to disease, efficient nutrient utilization and enhanced plant growth. The efficacy of nanoparticles can therefore be tested in terms of physiological and quality performance, and effects on plant under the genomic and metabolomic profiles, with final reduction of environmental impact and economic costs.More
