Nano-Yield is excited to announce that after 3 years of rigorous testing through Beck’s Practical Farm Research Program (PFR), NanoPro and NanoN+ are now “PFR PROVEN”. 


Born in 1937,
Beck's is the largest family-owned retail seed company and the third-largest seed brand in the U.S., dedicated to serving farmers throughout the Midwest and Mid-South. 


Beck’s PFR is an unbiased, comprehensive trial program that helps growers maximize their yield beyond seed genetics, through new products and technologies.  Each year they collect results from hundreds of studies at multiple locations on products, management practices, systems, equipment, and brand-new farming concepts.   According to Beck’s: “For a product or practice to become PFR Proven, it must continuously provide positive yield gains each year and average an increased return on investment for a minimum of three years.”


Beck’s has known to be a leader in the ag industry, with a unique culture and focus on helping growers across the country succeed.  The
PFR Book is an excellent tool that many growers look at for helping make the most out of their investments and maximizing yield.


Corn Starter Trials with NanoN+

For a third year in a row, NanoN+ has proven to be an excellent option when adding to UAN corn starter applications.  This year produced a $7.92 ROI, with an overall 3-year average $17.54 ROI.


At just 4 oz/ac, NanoN+ helps drive nutrition from planting and sidedress to foliar applications.



Soybean Foliar Trials with NanoPro

NanoPro has also been proven to provide great returns; this year has produced a $19.20 ROI with replicated pesticide applications across multiple states.  When applied with Versa Max® Mn at V4, there was an average $10.11 ROI over 3 years.   When applied with a fungicide and insecticide combo at R3, there was an average $17.16 ROI over 3 years.


4 oz/ac of NanoPro helps drive crop inputs with every application.



Urea Coating Trial with NanoCote Core

NanoCote Core is a newly released dry fertilizer coating and the latest product to be tested with Beck’s. 2024 was the first year of Beck’s trials with NanoCote core. Urea applied at different rates was tested with and without a coating of NanoCote™ Core.  The lower application rates of urea and NanoCote Core achieved a higher ROI of $28.22.


Nano-coated technology is an environmentally sustainable crop solution for improving plant uptake of agricultural inputs at just 2-4 qts/ton of prilled or granular fertilizer. Ask your sales representative about 
NanoCote Core as an alternative nitrogen stabilizing technology.

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.

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.
