Insecticide Uptake in Anjou Pears
Dan Adamson, Regional Agronomist • July 25, 2022
INTRODUCTION
Ultor insecticide (Spirotetramat) is very effective however is slow to get into the plant. Grower claims no activity for at least 10 days after application. Speeding up activity to stop psyllid destruction is key.
HYPOTHESIS
NanoPro with Ultor can increase AI uptake.
MATERIALS
PROCEDURE
DATA 
- Two Anjou blocks were sprayed on the same day. All rates were the same with exception to the NanoPro. Check vs trial.
- Check (201 Larson Ranch)
- Trial (102 A Ranch)
- The NanoPro was mixed in with the Ultor and then the adjuvants were added.
- Application was done on a Thursday (June 30th) and tissue samples were pulled on Tuesday (July 5).
- 8 new shoots per block were pulled at 10:00 AM, the leaves were washed, patted dry and then shipped overnight to Pacific Ag Labs for AI testing.
DATA 
CONCLUSION
Applications of Ultor with nanoliquid technology increased the AI content of new shoots by 64% 5 days after application.

Nanoparticles have been making headlines for years due to their role in advanced agriculture technologies, medicine, and even food science. Recently, research has highlighted the presence of nanoparticles in one of the world’s most iconic beverages: Coca-Cola.
This move is all about scaling NanoCote adoption faster. Dan’s agronomic expertise and industry connections make him the perfect fit to grow our dealer network and help more growers benefit from NanoCote Core’s game-changing nanoparticle technology.
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:
As Warren Bell steps into retirement, we pause to celebrate a remarkable career that has left an indelible mark on the agricultural industry and all who have had the privilege of working alongside him. Warren's journey is one of perseverance, innovation, and a deep passion for farming—a story that has inspired countless individuals and transformed an entire industry.
When comparing the effect of NanoPro with various crop protection products there can be instances of increased uptake as high as 140%, however the average is 20-50%.
Nano-Yield is excited to announce that after 3 years of rigorous testing through Beck’s Practical Farm Research Program (PFR), NanoPro and NanoN+ are now “PFR PROVEN”.
Each year at NanoCon we recognize our partnerships that have really excelled. We appreciate all of the support of our dealers and growers that have adopted nanotechnology into their programs, and we strive to be in Every Tank, Every Pass!
Our annual NanoCons are something that our customers from around the world look forward to attending each year. Celebrating 10 years in the industry, NanoCon was hosted at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center located in Dallas, Texas on November 13-15. This 5th annual NanoCon was considered one of the best by many, as each year our company strives to improve upon the meeting with a focus on networking, education, and team building. Our customers appreciate the fast-paced, networking environment that the event provides, with a good mix of work and fun. The first evening of NanoCon is always a favorite; fantastic food and lots of energy as people network and meet fellow nanofans from all over the world as they anticipate an exciting week of activities.
