Innovation-1:We discovered some kitchen and botanical waste materials containing valuable metabolites and extracted these active compounds using safe solvents. The nature of these active ingredients was analyzed and characterized , and the crude extract was then tested against a fungal culture, demonstrating inhibition of fungal growth. Once the antifungal nature was confirmed, we furthered our process towards the conversion of these active ingredients into a nano-emulsion . The resulting nanoparticles ranged from 100 to 300 nm in size and exhibited high stability, as evidenced by a zeta potential value of -50 mV. The mechanism of action of the nano-biofungicide against the fungal culture (nano-emulsion) was also evaluated. Our invention offers a highly stable nano-emulsion and an exceptionally effective fungicidal formulation. This nano-emulsion is not only highly efficient but also cost-effective, with improved bioavailability. Additionally, its slow-release mechanism reduces the required dosage, eliminating the need for large-scale extraction. Furthermore, the nano-emulsion diffuses, adheres, and penetrates plant foliage or fungal surfaces more effectively than the crude form.The active ingredients responsible for fungal eradication are protected from degradation by environmental factors as they get encapsulated within the nano-emulsion structure. Innovation-2 :We've derived mineral elements from botanical and kitchen waste, transforming them into a nano mineral citrate complexes distinct from conventional Nano fertilizers, which typically rely on inorganic metallic nutrients. Unlike these, we've sourced our nutrients from natural waste materials. Our rationale for developing this nano-biofertilizer lies in its safety and non-toxic nature, akin to bio-fertilizers, while also boasting qualitative and quantitative efficiency, target specificity, and enhanced bioavailability. Thus combining the safety of bio-fertilizers with the efficiency of nano-fertilizers.
