Nano-biotechnology was first used on crops in 2007,when 5 to 50 nm of carbon was added to the fertilizer to forming Nano-fertilizer.The experiments of fertilizer efficiency on radish,cabbage,cabbage,eggplant,peppers,tomatoes,celery and leek crops were carried out for the past two years.The results showed that the fertilizer promoted the growth of the crops,come into the market 5 to 7 days ahead of time,and made the yield increase 20% to 40%.After fertilization the white radish grew to 83 cm in 38 days,eggplant 1.2 kg in 20 days and so on.Nano-fertilizer could improve the quali-ty of the vegetables.The content of VC in chili increased 1.5 times.Nano-carbon was proved to be non-toxic materials by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
