The newest category in agricultural inputs is now coming to the corn belt: nanoliquids

August 4, 2021

A farmer from southeast Indiana, Joe and his father had a lot of success with trialing NanoCS from Aqua-Yield ® on his corn. Joe’s interest in nanoliquid technology turned into accepting a position with Aqua-Yield ® . He is excited to share this latest technology with growers across the corn belt.

 

A BRIEF HISTORY

 

Located in Draper, Utah, just outside of Salt Lake City, Aqua-Yield® has been manufacturing and selling nanoliquid products for use in agricultural production since 2018. Aqua-Yield® grew its roots on a sod farm owned by its founders when nanoliquid technology was deployed into trials for a two-year period with consistent ROI. As a result, Aqua-Yield® was formed, paving the way for growers worldwide.


Aqua-Yield nanoliquids have been proving themselves time and again on many specialty crops throughout the west coast and southern states. A diverse product portfolio has been developed to meet the needs and demands of specialty crop production. 



THE SKINNY ON NANOLIQUID TECHNOLOGY

 

Nanoliquids work by enhancing delivery of fertility and crop protection molecules to plants. Nanoparticles protect molecules from environmental losses and improve the absorption into plants by a proven process called endocytosis. Through endocytosis, one nanoparticle can deliver a thousand nutrient ions, whereas in the typical process of diffusion each nutrient ion must individually pass through the cell membrane. This is a much more efficient way for crops to receive inputs. 



 

A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR CORN BELT GROWERS

 

No matter the crop or location, growers are yielding the benefits of our nanoliquid products. Our nanoliquids have delivered success across the toughest proving grounds in North America and the world. Aqua-Yield products work well on row crops, and is now excited to expand its sales and support coverage to include growers in the corn belt.

WHY ARE AQUA-YIELD NANOLIQUIDS UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE ON THE MARKET?


Typically plants process inputs through various forms of passive transport by diffusion.  Passive transport does not require energy to move substances across plant cell membranes, relying on the second law of thermodynamics to drive the movement of substances across cell membranes. 

 

Aqua-Yield uses a different process called endocytosis to bring the loaded nanoliquid particles into the cell where the “payload” is delivered. Endocytosis is a means of bulk transport in which the cell uses energy (ATP) for substances that cannot be diffused across the plant membrane. 

 

 

Aqua-Yield provides a means of immediate mass transportation of crop inputs through a unique patented nanoparticle and a more efficient way into the plant (endocytosis vs diffusion).

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.
