German-Based HAS To Invest Nearly €1 Million In Nano-Agriculture Solutions For Indian Farmers
As India seeks sustainable agricultural solutions amid ongoing concerns over global fertiliser supplies, German-based Dr. Heinisch Agro Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. (HAS) and B+H Solutions GmbH have introduced advanced nano-agriculture technologies aimed at improving crop health and reducing dependence on conventional chemical inputs.
The companies have unveiled metallic-based nanotechnology formulations using silver and copper, positioning them as “fertiliser-plus” solutions designed to strengthen plant resilience, enhance nutrient efficiency, and support residue-free farming practices.
Investment Plans Strengthen India Focus
HAS plans to invest nearly €1 million in India during 2026 as part of its expansion strategy in the country’s growing nano-agriculture sector. The investment follows recent regulatory developments under India’s Fertiliser Control Order (FCO) framework for nano-based agricultural products.
The company views these regulatory advancements as an important step in supporting the long-term adoption of innovative agricultural technologies. Meanwhile, B+H Solutions GmbH reported global revenues of nearly €20 million in 2025, with India emerging as one of its priority markets.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered near Stuttgart, Germany, B+H Solutions GmbH focuses on sustainable agriculture through advanced nanotechnology. The company currently operates in more than 90 countries and offers products including AgroArgentum®, AgroCuprum®, AgroFerrum®, and AgroCalcium®.
Nano Technology Targets Sustainable Farming
According to the company, its patented technology helps farmers reduce excessive pesticide and chemical usage while improving crop performance. The solutions are designed to support stronger root development, improved yield quality, better shelf life, and enhanced farm productivity.
In addition, the technology aims to promote residue-free farming by reducing unnecessary chemical loads while maintaining crop health and produce quality. As a result, the company believes nano-based solutions can contribute to more sustainable agricultural practices.
The technology also focuses on improving nutrient utilisation and helping crops withstand environmental stress. Consequently, farmers may benefit from healthier plants and improved production outcomes under suitable application conditions.
Field Demonstrations Show Positive Results
HAS India has been working with farmers across Karnataka, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh through awareness programmes, crop trials, and field demonstrations.
In Karnataka, farmers using the company’s nano-based agricultural products have reported yield increases of up to 30% in selected crops under controlled application conditions. Furthermore, demonstrations involving tomato, chilli, black pepper, pomegranate, and floriculture crops have shown encouraging results.
The company reported improvements in plant health, root strength, flowering, nutrient utilisation, crop stress management, and overall produce quality. These outcomes have supported its efforts to expand awareness of nano-agriculture among farming communities.
Company Highlights Future Potential Of Nano-Agriculture
Dr. Laura Heinisch, Managing Director and Chief Scientific Officer of B+H Solutions GmbH, stated that India remains one of the world’s most significant agricultural economies. She noted that farmers face challenges including rising input costs, climate-related pressures, and uncertainty in global supply chains.
She added that the company’s objective is to introduce technologies that improve crop performance while reducing unnecessary chemical dependency and supporting long-term agricultural sustainability.
Rajni Rana, Managing Director of HAS India, said the company’s vision extends beyond business growth and focuses on farmer empowerment through innovation, awareness, and access to advanced agricultural technologies.
According to Rana, HAS India is expanding its outreach through farmer meetings, demonstration programmes, and distribution partnerships to ensure that advanced farming technologies reach grassroots agricultural communities across the country.
As interest in nano-agriculture and precision farming continues to grow, the companies believe science-driven solutions can contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future for Indian agriculture while supporting productivity and farmer welfare.
