3rd Year Precision Planting PTI Trials with Nano-Yield® nanotechnology

Jenny Phillips, Director of Marketing • January 28, 2025

Nano-Yield looks forward to this time of year as partners and customers across the country submit a new year of field data demonstrating the impact of nanotechnology on crop yields and profits.


Recently Beck’s Hybrids just published their annual Practical Farm Research (PFR) data book.  After 3 years of trialing nanoliquid® technology, Nano-Yield is excited to announce that NanoPro and NanoN+  are now “PFR Proven”, having continuously provided positive yield gains and return on investment (ROI).  NanoPro is a patented nanotechnology product, engineered to increase uptake efficiency for active ingredients, while NanoN+ is formulated to increase nutrient uptake efficiency.


NanoPro continues to be a proven winner with soybean fungicide applications at 4 oz/ac NanoPro.  These results are continuous with trials from across the country over several years, where NanoPro increased active ingredient uptake as high as 140%, however average was 20-50%.  Read more here.


Precision Planting rolls out their 2024 data book during their annual conferences


Last week Precision Planting started their annual Winter Conferences to roll out their data findings for the year.  The Precision Technology Institute provides you with the chance to see the latest technologies in action and learn insights to apply on your own operation. Trials are conducted on 400+ acres of agronomic trials in Pontiac, IL.  Nano-Yield is proud to be a partner for a third year, and is excited to showcase some of the trial results:

In this trial 6 oz/ac NanoN+ was tested with Conceal system dual band treatments of Marco NutriStart BOOST, resulting in an additional +2.1 bu/ac at a $17.50 ROI.

For a third year in a row nanoliquid products increased corn yield for Precision Planting trials. A single application of NanoN+ applied at planting with 20 gal/ac of UAN resulted in an increase of 5.8 bu/acre and a ROI of $19.28 per acre.  This has resulted in a three-year average ROI of $27.16.

In this trial 4 oz/ac NanoPro was tested with a foliar application of 13.7 oz/ac Miravis Neo fungicide, resulting in an additional +3.3 bu/ac at a $34.91 ROI.

For a third year in a row nanoliquid products increased corn yield for Precision Planting trials. A single application of NanoK applied at V5 resulted in an increase of 6.6 bu/acre and a ROI of $19.74 per acre.  This has resulted in a three-year average ROI of $26.00.

This is a first year Precision Planting trial testing NanoCote Core fertilizer coating with a urea application on corn.  100 lbs of 46-0-0 urea nitrogen with NanoCote Core resulted in a 5.2 bu/ac increase and a $17.14 ROI per acre compared to uncoated urea.
