Application in agriculture and food industry


In agriculture, the application of nano-SiO2 to make agricultural seed treatment agents can increase the yield of vegetables (cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers), cotton, corn, and wheat, and advance the maturity period. For example, nano-SiO2 can also be used in herbicides and pesticides. If a small amount of nano-SiO2 is added to the granular pesticide formula, it will effectively control and prevent the production of harmful substances.
In the food industry, nano-SiO2 also has many applications. For example, food packaging bags with nano-SiO2 can keep fruits and vegetables fresh; the application of nano-SiO2 in wine production can purify and extend the shelf life; it can also be used as a high-efficiency fungicide to prevent and treat various diseases of fruits and vegetables.
