Iranian Nanotechnology Firm’s Poison Powder Leaves No Rats Around
‘Rayan Zarin Sina’ company’s powdery rat poison enables killing or repelling of rats at homes, gardens, and places inside which food and perishable materials are supplied. It is composed of a non-toxic material with spherical nanoparticles.
The exploitation of spherical nanoparticles in a non-toxic matrix has resulted in favorable efficiency on the rats due to high specific surface area (SSA) of nanoparticles and high chemical reactivity of nanoparticles.
In a relevant development earlier this year, a knowledge-based company in Iran was able to find an effective substitute for pesticides by designing and producing some new biological compounds.
This knowledge-based company operates in the field of plant medicine and the production of biological soil compounds and has managed to produce effective products that have become substitutes for pesticides over the past years.
“Our field of activity is categorized in two parts; Firstly, we are engaged in the production of biological compounds that can replace pesticides (poisons). In fact, these biological compounds can be used in parts of the plants where using poisons to treat the plant diseases is not effective, such as root and crown-related diseases. Secondly, the company is active giving advice to farmers and providing counselling services to them on herbal medicine and herbal nutrition,” Mojtabi Moradzadeh Eskandari, managing director of the Iranian knowledge-based company said.
He further said how they carry out their projects, adding, “When we enter a farm, we first check what diseases the farm suffers from. Then, based on the diseases, we introduce and recommend biological compounds. In fact, biological compounds are living organisms that exist in the soil itself, but some soils are poor in terms of having these compounds, and we try to strengthen the soil by adding these compounds to the soil.”
