Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Noxto Nitrate is an agricultural innovation utilising a patented photocatalytic technology (R-Leaf) developed by Crop Intellect. Our solution captures harmful nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) from the atmosphere and converts them into plant-available nitrate fertiliser using daylight — helping farmers grow profitably and sustainably.

Our patented technology, developed with Crop Intellect, utilises a photocatalytic compound sprayed directly onto the crop that reacts with NOx gases in the presence of sunlight. The NOx gases are converted into N2, O and nitrate - a valuable nutrient for crops.

Yes. The product and process is completely safe for crops, soil, and the environment. It works passively with natural sunlight and does not introduce any harmful residues. NOxTO Nitrate is a clean and sustainable alternative to traditional nitrogen fertilisers.

Noxto is suitable for a wide range of crops, including cereals, oilseeds, vegetables, forage crops and fruit. As the process produces nitrate – a form of nitrogen readily absorbed by plants – it supports healthy, balanced growth across multiple crop types.

No. Noxto Nitrate enables growers to reduce their rates of conventional nitrogen fertilisers and is best used as part of an integrated nutrient management strategy. It helps lower input costs, reduce emissions, and improve nitrogen use efficiency.

• Boost crop yields and health – Supplies nitrogen-rich fertiliser directly to crops, continuously.
• Options to reduce synthetic nitrogen use – Reduce reliance on traditional nitrate fertiliser.
• Supports net-zero farming – Ideal for regenerative, climate-conscious agriculture.
• Environmentally responsible – Minimal emissions and improved soil health.
• Reduces NOₓ pollution – Captures and converts air pollutants (NO & NO2) into useful nitrate.
• Sustainable – NOxTO Nitrate breaks down N2O (destruction of a greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere to N2 and O.
• Monetise net-zero targets – Methodology now approved for atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) destruction using Photocatalysts with an ICROA endorsed registry (ICR).
  

By choosing NOxTO Nitrate, you’re part of a smarter, cleaner future for crop production.

Yes, Noxto Nitrate is effective in most agricultural environments where there is access to daylight. Although it performs best under sunny conditions, even diffuse sunlight is sufficient to activate the photocatalytic process.

Yes, Noxto Nitrate is available for commercial use. We work directly with farms, agronomists, and agricultural distributors to tailor solutions based on location, crop type, and farming setup.
