Third party research collaborators evaluated NanoCote Core for enhancing nutrient efficiency of DAP fertilizer applied as a spring application for corn production. A grower standard rate of DAP (150 lb/ac) was compared side by side with a 25% reduced rate of DAP (112 lb/ac) treated with NanoCote Core. Extreme drought significantly impacted the yield in this trial. The field with NanoCote and a reduced rate had a yield 3 bu/acre higher than the average. Without NanoCote, yield was 6 bu/acre lower than average.
