Precision agriculture, a dynamic evolution in modern farming, is being propelled by these cutting-edge materials, optimizing resource utilization for maximal yield. Conventional farming practices result in the wastage of nearly one-third of crops, primarily due to pest invasions, microbial assaults, natural calamities, substandard soil conditions, and diminished nutrient availability. Glyconanoparticles are emerging as a cutting-edge material to revolutionize contemporary agricultural methodologies. To overcome multiple limitations, CD BioGlyco utilizes our advanced GlycoNano™ Platform to help our clients produce more efficient and less contaminant glyconanoformulations. Precision agriculture, a dynamic evolution in modern farming, is being propelled by our cutting-edge technology, optimizing resource utilization for maximal yield.
Our research team possesses synthetic versatility in Glyconanoparticle Formulation design and synthesis. We leverage core chemical principles to engineer glyconanoparticles with precisely tailored dimensions, surface charges, contours, coatings, textures, and transformative attributes. Depending on the specific glyconanoparticle class, the target flora, and the intended utility—whether sensing, delivery, or pathogen suppression—we can establish particular design benchmarks aimed at elevating their efficacy within the plant ecosystem. Our service focuses on the preparation and characterization of glyconanoparticles loaded with agricultural chemicals. This service aims to enhance the efficacy and sustainability of these chemicals by encapsulating them in biodegradable and biocompatible nanoparticles. The service includes the following aspects:
Utilizing advanced techniques such as ionic gelation, our researchers prepare stable glyconanoparticles using biodegradable and biocompatible materials. Various agricultural chemicals, including spinosad and permethrin, are efficiently encapsulated within these nanoparticles.
We conduct comprehensive characterization of the glyconanoparticles by using multiple analytical methods. UV-Vis absorbance and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirm the formation and integrity of the encapsulated chemicals. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) provide insights into the crystalline structure and detailed morphology. Field emission Scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measure particle size and distribution, while zeta potential analysis ensures stability and dispersion in solution.
We evaluate the stability of the glyconanoparticles under different environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and pH, to ensure they maintain their integrity and performance over time. Long-term storage studies are also conducted to assess the nanoparticles' shelf life and effectiveness.
Controlled release kinetics of the encapsulated agricultural chemicals are investigated to optimize the release profile. This ensures that the chemicals are released gradually and effectively, improving their overall efficacy and reducing environmental impact. Environmental release studies are conducted to understand how the nanoparticles perform in real-world settings.
We perform efficacy testing to evaluate the performance of the glyconanoparticles in controlling pests and diseases. Toxicity assessments ensure the safety of the formulations for non-target organisms and the environment. Bioavailability studies measure how well the encapsulated chemicals are absorbed and utilized by the target crops.
Our service stands out by offering comprehensive nanoparticle formulations for a wide range of agricultural chemicals, ensuring enhanced efficacy, safety, and sustainability in agricultural applications.

Result: In this study, the authors developed nanoparticles for the encapsulation of the herbicides imazapic and imazapyr, aiming to contribute to sustainable agriculture by reducing herbicide concentrations and applications. They manufactured alginate/chitosan and chitosan/tripolyphosphate nanoparticles and assessed their physicochemical stability. The encapsulation efficiency, release kinetics, and toxicity of the nanoparticles were evaluated through cytotoxicity and genotoxicity assays. Additionally, the effects of herbicides and herbicide-loaded nanoparticles on soil microorganisms were examined using real-time polymerase chain reactions. The nanoparticles exhibited an average size of 400 nm and remained stable over 30 days at room temperature. Encapsulation efficiencies ranged from 50 to 70% for both particle types. Cytotoxicity results indicated that encapsulated herbicides were less toxic than their free counterparts, and genotoxicity was also reduced. Soil microbiota analyses showed alterations in bacterial populations under different treatment conditions. The study demonstrated that herbicide encapsulation enhanced their mode of action and lowered toxicity, suggesting potential applications in practical scenarios.
