Presentation entitled "Obtaining Nanomaterials through High-Energy Milling: Evaluation in Biomass Production and Nitrogen Absorption in Ray Grass Crops"

On June 1, master's student Karen Viviana Amorocho Cubides, linked to the project "Nanofertilizers in the soil and nitrous oxide emissions", presented a presentation on synthesizing nanomaterials for use in agriculture.

Her intervention took place at the XXX Jornada de Formación Científica y Empresarial,  held at the facultad Agroindustrial of the Instituto Universitario de La Paz in Barrancabermeja, Colombia. During the conference, Karen Amorocho highlighted the importance of establishing a synergy between scientific research and the development of applied technologies in the agricultural sector. This would allow the creation of innovative solutions that benefit farmers and improve the conditions of their crops. She also highlighted the importance of continuing to explore new ways to use technology to address current challenges in agriculture.

Karen Amorocho works on the topic in her degree thesis, and the progress of her research shows how research in this area can positively impact food production and the fight against hunger in the world. Furthermore, it has the potential to transform the agricultural industry and contribute to creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

Finally, it is highlighted that Colombia has exceptional potential for developing innovative agricultural technologies that boost the sector and improve crop productivity. Thanks to its climatic and geographical diversity, the country can be a pioneer in the implementation of technological solutions that optimize the use of natural resources, such as water and land, and increase efficiency in agricultural production.
