New Nanotechnologies for Farming Developed in DPRK
Pyongyang, June 20 (KCNA) -- Different nanotechnologies for farming have recently been developed in the DPRK.

The Agricultural Nano Technology Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Science established processes for producing nano-metallic oxides, nano-nonmetallic oxides and nano-organic matters on the basis of supercritical fluid technology.

The institute developed 40-odd kinds of nano-materials for over 10 years and manufactured nanotechnology products.

Nano-germicide and nano-photosynthetic accelerant have been applied to farming, proving highly effective. In particular, the effectiveness of nano-germicide reaches at 85-90 percent.

The institute also succeeded in making nano-silicon fertilizer and nano-functional film.
