Explaining what nanotechnology is.
By Brooke Rosqvist, Marketing Manager 30 Apr, 2024
Nanoparticles in Fertilizers: Revolutionizing Plant Growth In the quest for sustainable agricultural practices, scientists are delving into the realm of nanotechnology to enhance the efficiency of fertilizers and optimize plant growth. Nanoparticles, which are tiny structures at the nanometer scale, are being integrated into fertilizers to revolutionize the way nutrients are delivered into plants. This innovative approach has become a game-changing solution for improving crop yields and enhancing the quality of agricultural crops.  Understanding Nanoparticles Nanoparticles are minuscule particles with dimensions ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers (see figure 1). At this scale, materials exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ from their bulk counterparts. These properties make nanoparticles highly versatile and applicable in various fields, including agriculture.

Nano-Yield is highlighting the women that enhance the science field.
By Brooke Rosqvist, Marketing Manager 28 Mar, 2024
Last but not least, Nano-Yield™ is highlighting the ladies in science! We couldn’t be happier with the dedication and knowledge these two have. As a company, we rely on them both for data, regulatory, and everything in between. Please enjoy a little bit about them from their own words. Micki Palmersheim: Regulatory Specialist I have a 6 year old Pitbull mix, named Pickle. I adopted her when I lived in Minnesota when she was 12 weeks old, and she's moved with me to North Dakota, Virginia, and Utah. She likes to wear sweaters, nap, and take up all the space on the bed. I'm involved in a few competitive pool/billiard leagues. Earlier this Month, I traveled to Colorado to compete in regional tournaments for 9-ball, and later this spring I am competing with my team in a world-qualifier competition that could send us to Vegas, NV to compete with teams from all over the world. Outside of pool I enjoy hiking and camping in the Uintahs, drawing, and snowboarding. I received my bachelors degree in Biology from North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota and then completed my master's degree in Entomology from Virginia Tech. For my thesis, I quantified attractiveness of ornamental landscape plants to pollinators. A fun fact about myself is I have original artwork published in scientific literature to support a research article that was written by a coworker back when I was working at the USDA-ARS in Fargo, ND. I became passionate about Ag when first I began researching Alfalfa Leafcutting Bees while in Fargo, ND. I specifically was investigating the impact that insecticide exposure had on bee's behavior and physiology. Through this experience, I gained a unique perspective of the importance of crop inputs as a necessary contribution to crop production and food security, and motivated me to be a part of a team that was committed to innovating solutions that aim to improve sustainability of agriculture chemicals. I look up to all the women that I work with at Nano-Yield. They are all incredible, and every day, I am motivated by their commitment to excellence and their ability to overcome challenges with grace and determination. What sets these women apart is not just their professional achievements, but also their collaborative spirit and supportive nature. They create an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to succeed. Working alongside them is not only productive but also immensely enjoyable. In essence, I look up to the women at our company because they embody the qualities of hard work, resilience, and camaraderie that I strive to emulate in my own career. They are not just colleagues; they are mentors, role models, and friends.
Founder/CEO of Nano-Yield Clark T. Bell present on TED Talk about they importance of fertilizer.
By Brooke Rosqvist, Marketing Manager 26 Mar, 2024
In a thought-provoking TED Talk, Clark T. Bell, the founder and CEO of Nano-Yield™ delved into the critical role of fertilizer in revolutionizing food production and the imperative need for sustainable agricultural practices. Here are some key takeaways from his compelling speech: Enhancing Food Production through Fertilizer: Bell highlighted how advancements in fertilizer technology have enabled us to produce twice as much food on a single acre compared to four decades ago. However, he also emphasized the over reliance on synthetic fertilizers, with over half of the global population depending on them for food. The Downside of Overuse : Bell underscored the detrimental effects of overusing fertilizers, citing examples such as water pollution in Utah Lake and Lake Erie, and the destruction of marine ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico due to fertilizer runoff. Addressing the Crisis: With the world's population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, Bell stressed the need for innovative solutions to utilize the power of fertilizers sustainably.

Growers and distributors at the NanoCon 2023
By Phil Dwyer 11 Mar, 2024
Word is spreading about the benefits of Nanotechnology for professional turfgrass management. Golf course Superintendents and Grounds Managers from all sectors are learning about and preparing to try the nano-adjuvant NanoCharge in their own nutritional and pesticide spray mixes. 2023 Turfgrass Research results and demo trials have shown the benefits of adding NanoCharge, and at only 8.7oz and around $8 per acre it’s a valuable addition worth trying. Many thanks to those we have met across the lands at: NanoCon in Phoenix, Planet Turf - Educational program, British Columbia Golf Course Superintendents Conference in Victoria BC with the Brett Young team, Michigan Turfgrass Foundation’s annual conference and show. Next stop is GCSAA Conference in Phoenix - Booth #1444, see you there.

Turf NanoTech thanks the following University Turfgrass researchers for their 2023 work in trialing and advancing our understanding of how Nanotechnology can help professional turfgrass managers improve the uptake efficiencies of their Nutrients and Chemistries. The annual TNT “T-Fund” represents our ongoing commitment to supporting independent University research programs.
By Phil Dwyer 27 Feb, 2024
Results are in, after putting NanoCharge to the test in a research trial conducted at TX A&M this year NanoCharge was shown to improve nutrient uptake just as designed. The study's aim was to measure the percent plant increase of nitrogen and other important turf nutrients when nanotechnology was added to a spray solution. At issue is the known poor nutrient uptake inefficiencies of traditional foliar applications. Prior turfgrass research estimates creeping bentgrass putting green turf has only 31-56% foliar N uptake (from a 5 g N/m2 application) within 8 hours of application, with little more occurring thereafter (Steigler et al., 2013; Chang et al., 2020). Improving this rate of uptake with nano liquids would help turfgrass managers: optimize plant health, save money and reduce environmental losses. The TX A&M trial used 15N-labeled urea (0.2 lb. N/ 1000 sq. ft.) to track and recover nitrogen in the plant along with a micronutrient solution. These nutrient solutions were applied to the creeping bentgrass foliage either with or without NanoCharge at its standard rate of 0.2 oz/1000 sq.ft.. After applying, turf samples were analyzed for percent differences between those fertilizers treated with NanoCharge vs. the fertilizer alone. The data Table here clearly shows the percent increase in nutrients in the turfgrass which received NanoCharge in the spray solution. These great results will help turfgrass professionals understand the benefits of NanoCharge as a technology for improving nutrient use efficiencies when managing turf.
