Why NanoCote™ is the Best Choice for Harvest Fertilizer Coating

Fall is an ideal time to apply dry fertilizer nutrients for fall and spring planting, and to support soil health.. But not all fertilizer applications are created equal—this is where NanoCote™ by Nano-Yield makes the biggest difference. By enhancing every granule with advanced nanotechnology, NanoCote™ maximizes the efficiency, longevity, and return on investment of post-harvest fertilizer applications.


1. Superior Nutrient Efficiency
NanoCote™ increases nutrient use efficiency by ensuring more of the applied fertilizer is absorbed by your crop and kept available to the next crop. Instead of nutrients being tied up, volatilized, or leached away, NanoCote™ helps keep them in the root zone where they can be used.


2. Enhanced Slow-Release Performance
While granular fertilizers already provide a controlled release, NanoCote™ takes it further. Its nanotechnology coating improves how nutrients are released, making them more consistent and available over a longer period of time—perfect for the months between fall application and spring planting.


3. Soil Health and Microbial Stimulation
NanoCote™ doesn’t just feed the crop—it benefits the soil. Unlike other coatings, NanoCote does not negatively impact the soil microbiome. This quality supports healthier, more biologically active soils post-harvest and into the next growing season.


4. Reduced Losses = Higher ROI
Nutrient losses from volatilization, leaching, or runoff are costly to farmers. By increasing the availability of nutrients while reducing waste, NanoCote™ allows growers to get more value from every ton of fertilizer applied—making fall applications more cost-effective.


5. Improved Logistical Flexibility
Farmers are already pressed for time in spring. By applying fertilizer in the fall, coated with NanoCote™, nutrients stay protected and stable in the soil until they’re needed, giving growers confidence that their investment is working ahead of planting season.


6. Sustainability Advantage
Because NanoCote™ increases nutrient efficiency and reduces waste, it lowers the environmental footprint of fertilizer use. Less nutrient loss means less potential for groundwater contamination or atmospheric emissions—helping farmers meet both agronomic and stewardship goals.



Bottom Line:
Granular fertilizer is already a smart post-harvest investment, but when coated with
NanoCote™ by Nano-Yield, it becomes the most efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable way to restore soil nutrients and set up next season’s crop for success.

Weeds are more than just an annoyance. When weeds are growing near crops, their roots are competing for the same nutrients and water. This hidden competition can result in significant yield losses and decreased revenue. NanoPro increases weed control to protect your nitrogen.
