Database Research Summaries2018 Nanotechnology for Sustainable Soybean Production Under Biotic and Abiotic Stresses
Research Focus
The focus of this project is to increase the concentration of nanoparticles to induce the mortality of insects in vivo (live plants) conditions.
Objectives
- Evaluate the effect of nano-clay, nano-zinc oxide, and Nano-sulfur and their combinations on Japanese beetle and Kudzu bug (subjected to availability) in greenhouse and field conditions.
- Repetition of first year (2016-2017) experiment in field.
Results
Results will be updated at the completion of this study.
Importance
This information will increase yield and profits.
