General Information

Year: 2022

Collaborator: AgroFuturo 

Location: Rapel, Chile

Crop: Table Grape

Study Type: Grower Demo

Aqua-Yield® Product: NanoPro®

Additional Product: Ethephon

Summary:
AgroFuturo (Rapel, Chile) conducted grower trials on multiple farms to measure the benefit of adding NanoPro to improve plant uptake of Ethephon (PGR) on table grape crops. Early results indicate adding NanoPro provides faster and more effective coloration of four cultivars of table grapes. The improved activity resulted in higher yield due to less wasted fruits.

Crimson Seedless: Adding NanoPro resulted roughly in 3 times more #7 (highest coloration grade) fruits compared to Ethephon alone.

Celebration: Adding NanoPro resulted in roughly 2 times more #7 (highest coloration grade) fruits compared to Ethephon alone. Culled fruit was reduced by 8.5%.

Krissy: Adding NanoPro resulted in roughly 2 times more #7 (highest coloration grade) fruits compared to Ethephon alone. Culled fruit was reduced by 10%.

Red Superior: Adding NanoPro increased the number of #6 fruits (highest coloration grade in this comparison) at two different rates of Ethephon. At a higher rate of Ethephon (0.35 L/ha), adding NanoPro resulted in 15% more #6 fruits. At a 25% reduced rate of Ethephon (0.275 L/ha), adding NanoPro resulted in 11% more #6 fruits compared to the higher rate.

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.
