Award recognizes growing companies that have demonstrated significant industry impact and innovation


SANDY, UTAH, UNITED STATES, January 18, 2023 / EINPresswire.com / --  Aqua-Yield , the leading  nanoliquid  company for agricultural production worldwide, today announced that it has been named Startup of the Year along with four other outstanding Utah firms. The award recognized companies that are pre-Series B and have demonstrated significant growth, innovation, and industry leadership.

Founded in 1999, the 
Silicon Slopes  Hall of Fame & Awards identify and applaud the breakthrough leaders and companies who have contributed to the ongoing success of Utah’s burgeoning technology industry. The additional Startup of the Year winners included Gamify, Baton, Partcl, and HyperCraft.

“There are numerous innovative startups across the State and we are honored to be counted as one of them,” said Clark Bell, CEO and co-founder of Aqua-Yield. “The last couple years we have doubled in size year-over-year and launched products that are literally changing our industry as growers stretch their ag inputs to better manage supply chain struggles, product availability, and environmental regulations.”

Since 2014, Aqua-Yield’s solution has reduced farmers’ use of micronutrients by up to 80 percent and use of macronutrients by up to 50 percent. It accomplishes this by minimizing fertilizer and chemical applications and increasing nutrient uptake, germination rates, crop yields, and growth cycles in a more sustainable and responsible manner.

“We enable synthetic fertilizers and chemicals to become more efficient, thereby increasing nutrient uptake and decreasing the amount of fertilizer that is needed,” added Clark. “This results in more profitable growers that can in turn become responsible stewards of their environment.”

The Startup of the Year winners will each be honored at a gala at the Grand America on Saturday, February 4, 2023. For a full list of awards and finalists, visit:

Farming is more than planting seeds and waiting for rain. Today’s agriculture requires precision, efficiency, and innovation. That’s where NanoCote™ by Nano-Yield comes in — a revolutionary fertilizer coating designed to help farmers get the most out of every acre.
By Brooke Rosqvist, Marketing September 30, 2025
In modern agriculture, efficiency, consistency, and product quality are more important than ever. Fertilizer blenders are at the heart of this process, and using NanoCote™ can make a big difference in operations, equipment longevity, and the end product. Cleaner, Safer Operations One of the biggest challenges for blenders is dust. Dust not only creates a mess but also contributes to equipment wear and potential product loss. NanoCote™ tackles this problem head-on, reducing dust by up to 99%. The result? Cleaner equipment, less maintenance, and a safer environment for workers. Simpler, Faster Application Applying coatings to fertilizer can be a time-consuming and complex task—especially if heat or specialized equipment is required. NanoCote™ is designed to blend easily and dry quickly, without the need for additional machinery. With only 3–4 quarts per ton required, blenders can achieve consistent coverage without altering the fertilizer’s nutrient profile. Boosted Efficiency and Product Quality NanoCote™ doesn’t just make operations cleaner—it also helps improve throughput. Its uniform coating ensures that each granule is protected and nutrient-rich, preventing segregation and enhancing overall product quality. Plus, after application nutrients are protected in the soil with increased uptake efficiency to support higher yield. Environmental and Economic Advantages NanoCote™ is biodegradable, protecting fertilizer nutrients while keeping soil biology safe. And by reducing dust and minimizing wear on equipment, blenders save money on maintenance and replacement costs. Plus, consistent high-quality products translate to better crop performance, stronger relationships with customers, and increased business success. Why Blenders Love NanoCote™ From cleaner operations to cost savings, NanoCote™ provides tangible benefits at every stage of the blending process. It’s a smart choice for fertilizer blenders who want to enhance operational efficiency, improve product quality, and support sustainable practices. NanoCote™ is changing the way fertilizer blenders operate—one granule at a time.
