Nanda Technology Successfully Develops New Microbial Strain N9, Opening a New Chapter of Agricultural Green Upgrading

Recently, Hangzhou Nanda Environmental Protection Technology Co. (Arthrobacter sp.) with significant nitrogen fixation and plant growth hormone secretion functions, marking a solid and significant step for Nanda in expanding microbial technology to agricultural applications and promoting the strategy of reducing and replacing chemical fertilisers.

Responding to the Global Green Transition: Laying the Groundwork for Agricultural Microbiology R&D

In the context of global promotion of green transformation of agriculture, reduction of chemical fertiliser dependence and protection of the ecological environment, microbial fertiliser is becoming one of the core engines of sustainable agricultural development due to its unique advantages in enhancing soil health, improving resource efficiency, guaranteeing the safety of agricultural products and responding to climate change. Nanda Technology is keenly aware of this trend, relying on its own deep accumulation in the field of microbial technology, and has actively laid out the application of agricultural microbial research and development in recent years. At the same time, the company understands that microbial fertiliser is not a complete replacement of chemical fertiliser, but an optimal combination of ‘microbial fertiliser + organic fertiliser + appropriate amount of chemical fertiliser’ to achieve the reduction and replacement of chemical fertiliser. The ultimate goal is to build a modern sustainable agricultural production system with soil health as the core, resource efficiency, environmental friendliness and high quality output. The research and development of new, efficient and safe microbial strains is the key to achieve this goal.

Innovative Breakthroughs: Discovery and Characterisation of N9 Strains

In order to create innovative products with market competitiveness, Nanda's R&D team travelled all over the farmland in typical agricultural regions such as Henan and Zhejiang, and collected a large number of soil samples. After rigorous and meticulous microbial isolation, cultivation and high-throughput functional screening, the team successfully targeted a high-performance bacterium, numbered N9, which was identified as belonging to the genus Arthrobacter (Arthrobacter sp.).

Laboratory validation has shown that strain N9 possesses two core agricultural functions: efficient biological nitrogen fixation (converting inert nitrogen in the air into nitrogen nutrients that can be absorbed and utilised by plants) and the secretion of plant growth hormones (e.g. indoleacetic acid, etc., which directly stimulate the development of the plant root system and the overall growth of the plant).The discovery of strain N9 has brought the market of microbial fertilizers a new option with independent intellectual property rights, which has great potential for application compared with the current mainstream Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Mucorhizobium hartzellae, which have great potential for application compared to the current mainstream ones.

Significant social benefits: multidimensional promotion of sustainable development

For a long time, the promotion and application of microbial fertiliser technology of Nanda Technology has formed multi-dimensional positive social benefits:

Protecting the ecological environment: Reducing the nitrogen and phosphorus loss caused by excessive application of chemical fertilisers, and effectively controlling agricultural surface pollution from the source;

Repairing soil ecology: improving degraded soil properties, increasing soil organic matter content and enhancing soil biodiversity;

Contribute to climate control: reduce carbon emissions from fertiliser production and application, and provide practical support for addressing climate change;

Ensure food safety: Reduce the risk of harmful substances and pesticide residues in agricultural products, and build a strong defence of ‘safety on the tip of the tongue’;

Strengthening the foundation of agriculture: contributing to the sustainable development of agriculture and food security, strengthening the risk-resistant ability of crops, stabilising and increasing food production, and contributing to national food security and the long-term health of agriculture. Healthy Provide scientific and technological guarantee for national food security and long-term healthy development of agriculture.

Future prospects: from technological innovation to a green future

The successful development of N9 strain is an important milestone for Nanda Technology to respond to the national green development strategy and actively expand the application of microbial technology in agriculture. We firmly believe that green inputs centred on microbial technology are the key direction for the future high-quality development of agriculture. In the future, Nanda Technology will continue to innovate and dedicate itself to providing growers with efficient, safe and environmentally friendly microbiological solutions, contributing to the scientific and technological power to guard green water and green mountains, guarantee food security and promote farmers' income.
