Global agriculture faces increasing pressure to produce more while using water, fertilizer and other resources more efficiently. Graphene-based materials are being investigated for potential applications involving nutrient delivery, water management, soil performance and agricultural productivity.

CURRENT STATUS

Argo is evaluating graphene-based agricultural applications, including opportunities involving soil performance, nutrient efficiency and water management.

TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Potential applications include:

  • Controlled and targeted nutrient delivery
  • Improved fertilizer-use efficiency
  • Soil and water-management technologies
  • Plant growth and root-development applications
  • Agricultural sensors and precision farming
  • Advanced fertilizers and agricultural formulations

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

US$200+ BILLION ANNUALLY

A Large and Established Agricultural Market

The global fertilizer industry alone represents a significant established market within the broader agricultural sector.

Argo’s opportunity is to develop graphene-based materials capable of potentially improving the performance and efficiency of existing agricultural products.

FUTURE OPPORTUNITY

Argo intends to develop and validate STREAM™ materials for potential collaboration with fertilizer producers, agricultural-technology companies and crop-input manufacturers.

Application – Phase II

Agriculture

More efficient nutrients.
Smarter water use.
Better-performing crops.

Graphene has the potential to advance the future of agriculture.
