NanoFARM
- Fate and Effects of
Agriculturally Relevant Materials |
To determine how agricultural manufactured
nanomaterials (MNM) properties, applied concentration, spatial
distribution and temporal behavior in different soil types, influence
MNM uptake by important crop plants, toxicity, multigenerational effects
on soil organisms, bioaccumulation/trophic transfer, and potential for
ecological impacts. |

NanoFertil
- Effect of soil (in)organic
constituents on the efficacy, fate and phytoavailability of fertilizer
and plant protection manufactured nanomaterials |
To address essential gaps in knowledge about how soil properties, soil
organic and inorganic constituents as well as properties and
concentration of manufactured nanomaterials (MNM) affect the spatial and
temporal behavior of nanopesticides and nanofertilizers in soils. |
