Silver nanoparticles around the world have long been known for their antibacterial, Antifungal and Antiviral properties. Silver nanoparticle properties allow targeted release and accumulation of nanoparticles to a specific area ensuring high drug concentration and minimizing side effects. Fungal pathogens that cause devastating diseases in many commercially important plants can be treated with Silver Nanoparticles. Hortifresh Pvt Ltd is the leading Colloidal Nano Silver Particles suppliers in Australia. Silver in nanoscale has new potent properties compared to macrostructures with the same chemical compound.
APPLICATIONS OF HORTIBLOOM
Silver nanoparticles in ‘Hortibloom’are characterized by a large surface area which allows significant influence on absorption properties and biocide activity against microbes. Typically single nanoparticle of silver has high electric charge and its shell is devoid of two electrons, which attracts pathogenic microorganisms. By intercepting missing electrons, nanoparticles of silver damage and then destroy the pathogen. This mechanism causes nanosilver particles to be strongly bactericidal, fungicidal and have certain virucidal properties. Nanosilver disrupts the water balance of fungi and influences the catalytic decomposition of lipid-protein layers of viruses. Nano silver typically is known to be a powerful germicidal and sterilizing agent, non-toxic to humans, plants or animals. It is lethal to fair few disease causing pathogenic amoeba, bacteria, biofilms, fungi, virus, yeasts and moulds, etc. New strains of bacteria are resistant to all pharmaceutical antibiotics, but colloidal nano silver proves effective against them. Treating soil around younger plant roots allows them to grow more vigorously. ‘Colloidal Nano Silver’ does not harm beneficial insects and Pollinators like Honey bees & ladybugs, if the product is accidentally found in their drinking water or upon surfaces of the plant as they touch.
- Increase in plant height
- Increased leaf number and biomass of plant
- Enhanced seed germination
- Improved seed yield and quality of fruit
- Improved diameter of canopy area
Direction of Usage
- Soil sterilization process can be done by mixing ‘Colloidal Nano Silver in water and spraying on soil, before ploughing. This makes soil free from plant pathogens.
- Soaking seeds in Colloidal Nano Silver before planting, increases germination and reduces mould growth in sprouts.
- Small amounts of Colloidal Nano Silver diluted with water can be sprayed on soil to combat soil-based pathogens.
Capacities
In 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 Litre and 5 Litre HDPE Cans.
