海角社区 Research Helping to Protect Crops and the Environment with Nanotechnology
January 18, 2022
海角社区 Professor Cristina Sabliov鈥檚 nanoparticles are tiny delivery systems that can attach to specific parts of a plant, such as the root or the leaves, and deposit a small but significant payload of protective agrochemicals to be released either immediately or over time. Through more targeted delivery, much smaller amounts of agrochemicals are needed.

海角社区 Professor Cristina Sabliov is working on super-tiny delivery systems to apply agrochemicals to crops to prevent waste while protecting plants and the environment. Sabliov鈥檚 work focuses on soybeans, a major crop in Louisiana and around the world.
鈥�Without unbiased, third-party research from land-grant institutions like 海角社区, farmers would have to incur losses in their production to figure out solutions to troublesome fungi like Dr. Sabliov is investigating,鈥� Charles Cannatella, chairman of the Louisiana Soybean and Grain Research and Promotion Board and a farmer in St. Landry Parish.
海角社区 and the 海角社区 Ag Center are dedicated to serving communities across the globe and creating sustainable solutions for the benefit of generations to come.
