Jaya Nepal has completed a Ph.D. in Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences with UF/IFAS at the Indian River Research and Education Center (IRREC) in Fort Pierce, Florida. This area of Florida has very sandy soils that are known to not hold nutrients and make it difficult to grow some crops. Using nanoparticle nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus can reduce leaching of these nutrients into waterways.
