Khazra Technology
Over 200,000,000 tons of various fertilizers are consumed annually in agricultural lands around the world. It should be noted that the annual consumption of million tons of chemical fertilizers in agricultural lands can cause the following due to the type, structure, and low absorption of these fertilizers:
- damaging the soil texture
- soil fertility loss
- polluting groundwater and soil by nitrate and heavy metals
- plant low resistance against temperature stress
- quality and quantity reduction in crops
- plant low resistance against pests
- increase in need for pesticides
- and consequently producing crops contaminated with pesticides residues, nitrate, and heavy metals.
The result will be a decrease in community health and emergence of a variety of diseases. Despite their relative superiority over chemical fertilizers, the conventional chelated fertilizers, such as EDDHA and EDTA (which can only be useful in delivering micronutrients like iron and zinc), almost suffer similar limitations.
“Advanced Chelate Compounds technology” is a great revolution in chemistry to synthesize structures and nanostructures in different fields of science including agriculture. This technology, for the first time in the world, is patented in the name of Mohammad Hassan Nazaran in Iran and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In this technology, chelates and nano chelates, having much higher bioavailability and efficiency than previous structures, are produced using self-assembly method. Synthesizing compounds by self-assembly is the best method to mass-produce nanoparticles. Based on this technology, Khazra Chelated Nano fertilizers as the new generation of fertilizers are produced in the field of agriculture. Due to the unique structure of Khazra fertilizers, their absorption rate by the root and leaves of the plant is a lot more than chemical fertilizers and also common chelated fertilizers such as EDDHA and EDTA. Nano scale and its properties make it possible to apply these fertilizers through soil application and foliar spraying at the same time, whereas the available non-nano fertilizers can be absorbed through either soil application or foliar spraying. Khazra fertilizers do not suffer the limitations and problems caused by chemical and common chelated fertilizers, yet they result in significant quality and quantity increase in agricultural crops without the negative effects of environmental pollutants. Applying Khazra fertilizers in gardens, farms, and greenhouses leads to 20-200% yield increase, significant increase in quality, and higher resistance to pests, diseases and environmental stresses.
Khazra Chelated Nano Fertilizers Properties
Absorbable and applicable through both soil application and foliar spraying (as a substitute for common chemical and chelated fertilizers and also as an additional supplement along with base fertilizers – such as N+P2O5+K2O – applied through traditional, sprinkler, and drip irrigation methods)
Sustained release property
Stability at various pH levels; i.e., these nano fertilizers can function in the most acidic or alkaline environments and soils (delivering nutrients present in the fertilizer to plant in any kind of soil)
Better and more efficient absorption and lower applicable doses compared to chemical fertilizers
Unlike other chelated fertilizers, these nano chelated fertilizers do not contain any hormones and therefore are not harmful. Chelated fertilizers like EDDHA, EDDHMA, and EDDHSA are considered hormonal due to having ethylene as a growth hormone (shown with letter E as in EDDHA)
Chelated Nano fertilizers are completely pure when mass produced; in other words, the claimed percentages of chelated elements on the package are guaranteed to exist in the content.
Khazra Chelated Nano fertilizers are completely environmental-friendly and can convert the less soluble forms of elements to accessible and beneficial forms for plant in addition to increasing and fostering organic compounds of the soil.
The unique technology used in production of Khazra fertilizers results in optimized motility in soil and plant, which subsequently leads to dramatic absorption rate.
Contrary to common chelated fertilizers that are decomposed when exposed to the sunlight, Khazra Chelated Nano fertilizers maintain their structural stability and are decomposed less.
“Khazra” has presented the first non-metal nano fertilizers with advanced chelate structure to the world in order to increase absorption rate of macroelements and reduce consumption amount and pollutions caused by chemical fertilizers: Khazra Nano Chelated Potassium, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, NPK 20-20-20, and NPK 12-12-36 fertilizers.
Khazra Chelated Nano fertilizers are completely harmless to human health. The articles about non-toxicity property of these fertilizers were presented by Sodour Ahrar Shargh Company to the International Nano Safety Congress in Thailand-2013.
The Application Benefits of Khazra Chelated Nano Fertilizers
reduced need for pesticides
producing healthy crops
protein increase in crops
Crops enrichment whith micro andjmacronutrients
increase in secondary metabolites
Size, form,and quality improvement
Scent and taste improvement
Depending on the physiological conditions and needs of the plant, variety, farm conditions (garden or greenhouse), season, amount and method of consumption, environmental conditions, etc., one of the above results and the profitability of these products will be realized.
