Field of Frights: The Hidden Yield Killers Lurking in Your Soil

Field of Frights: The Hidden Yield Killers Lurking in Your Soil

The Frightening Truth: Not Every Yield Killer Is Visible


Every year, growers anxiously watch their crops grow. Throughout the season, they usually have a field or two in mind that they think will produce the best yields. 


Come harvest time, sometimes they’re more than disappointed with the results they see on their yield monitors. They simply can't believe it. 

There are plenty of hidden yield killers lurking in your soil. Let’s unravel the spooky truth. 


Nutrient Loss: The Ghost Stealing Your Investment: How nutrient loss can haunt your fertilizer investment → NanoN™


Input prices are high. We’re all aware of that. So when nutrients don’t make it to the plant, it can really hurt a farming operation. Why spend your hard-earned dollars on inputs that don't pay you back? 


One question growers ask themselves quite often is, “What can I do to make every input count?” Using NanoN™ improves plant efficiency through the use of our patented nanotechnology. 


NanoN:


  • Improves plant uptake: NanoN contains nanoparticles loaded with nitrogen ions that are better absorbed into the plant.
  • Has proven performance: NanoN offers up to a 3:1 ROI.
  • Protects yield potential. 
  • Won’t break the bank: You can see results for under $5/acre.


Compaction: The Root-Zone Zombie: How compaction can limit root growth and nutrient access.


Soil compaction haunts many farmers throughout the season. It can restrict nutrient uptake, decrease root growth, increase soil density, and cause deficiencies and reduced water infiltration. 


Ensure soil health for generations by using NanoCote dry fertilizer coating, which is biodegradable and microbe-friendly.


NanoCote:


  • Offers a 3:1 ROI
  • Enhances nutrient use efficiency
  • Improves plant uptake of agricultural inputs
  • Increases yields by 10–25%
  • Reduces blending dust by up to 99%


The Yield Reaper: How environmental stress impacts crop performance.


Environmental stress is completely out of our control. It can impact crop performance and steal yield. What if we told you there is a way to protect your crop potential?


NanoStress®:



  • Speeds up plant recovery and enhances nutrient absorption
  • Delivers critical nutrients to support yield and vigor 
  • Promotes abiotic stress tolerance
  • Contains nanoparticles loaded with P & K ions.


Don’t Fear Your Field: Understanding what's happening beneath the soil can help improve nutrient efficiency.


There’s no need to fear your field. To understand your crops better, you have to look beyond the surface. By seeing the whole picture of your crop, both above and below ground, you can improve your nutrient efficiency and outcomes. EFFICIENCY PAYS!
