Crop nutrient deficiency occurs when plants lack essential elements required for growth, leading to reduced yield, poor quality, and increased susceptibility to disease. Common deficiencies include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients like iron and zinc. These deficiencies often manifest in visible symptoms such as yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and poor root development. Causes include poor soil fertility, imbalanced fertilization, and environmental factors like soil pH, compaction, or excessive leaching. Effective management includes soil testing, balanced fertilization, and targeted nutrient applications to address specific needs.

By incorporating nanotechnology products into their fertility programs growers can help maximize their investment, driving nutrition in a more efficient way into their crops.

• NanoN+® for liquid fertilizer efficiency
  NanoN+ is designed to protect and carry nutrients in liquid solution to improve efficiency and reduce waste. For less than $4.50/ac, NanoN+ enhances plant nutrient uptake and availability for liquid nutrient formulations including macronutrient and micronutrient products.  For two years in a row NanoN+ increased corn yield for Beck’s PFR trials with an average increase of +7 bu/ac and an average ROI of $22.35 per acre.  The latest two year data from Precision Planting shows an average increase of +6.6 bu/ac and an average ROI of $31.11 per acre.

• NanoCote™ Core for dry fertilizer efficiency
  NanoCote™ Core protects your granular nutrient investment, promoting faster, more efficient delivery to the crop while dramatically reducing environmental losses.  NanoCote Core provides an outer layer of protection to help minimize fertilizer volatilization loss into the environment.  Once solubilized, the nanoparticles will bulk load onto nutrient molecules, preventing soil tie-up and maximizing nutrient use efficiency.  The nutrient-loaded nanoparticles then facilitate faster uptake into the plant.  NanoCote™ is the latest innovation by Nano-Yield, showing big returns across the country.
