ABOUT UNIBAIO
We develop nano-vehicles based on natural compounds and circular economy to improve agro-inputs performance.
Our particles encapsulate the active principles of pesticides to release them over time. This allows to increase their effectiveness and reduce their application doses, therefore, it decrease the toxicity levels of soil & the food we consume.

Engagement and sharing knowledge are the cornerstones of our success. Stay tuned with the latest news and projects.
Our nanovehicles are obteined from the synthesis of chitosan, a natural polymer that we produce from shrimp waste. These are discarded on a large scale on the Patagonian coast, generating a high impact of enviromental pollution and coastal biodiversity, including whales.

Active molecules are useful to improve different aspects related with their plants production and yield. Immobilization, encapsulation and vehiculization of active principles, as amino-acids, biostimulants and nutrients, among others, have been widely used in agriculture but also in other industries in order to protect, release and functionalize the desired active ingredient with more effective biological action.
