WTN (What The Nano)?

The way professional turfgrass managers deliver nutrients and active ingredients is about to change, just as it already has for those in agriculture and medicine. Our new products admittedly look just like any other liquid fertilizers you’ve tried: same jug, label, guaranteed analysis, made for turf, directions, rates, etc. The one difference though is Turf NanoTech products have an ingredient which allows them to perform unlike anything else: nanoparticles. The nanoparticles in all TNT products are designed to do one thing: deliver you control.


Nanoparticles are changing how turfgrass is managed in two simple ways: improving uptake and protecting against losses of what is applied. Just as your height of cut is dialed in to a hundred thousandth of an inch, it's now possible to dial in how you control nutrient and pesticide delivery into every blade of grass. More control of how the valuable nutrients and chemistries you apply are delivered into turf plants for optimal performance.


At TNT we’ve mastered how to engineer mineral carriers into nanoscopic particles: essentially tiny sponges designed to be loaded with solutions like fertilizers, fungicides, PGR’s, herbicides, and insecticides. How small? These nanoscopic particles are only visible using an electron microscope; at half the size of a virus it would take 50,000 of them lined up to cross the width of a single bentgrass leaf. Existing at this nanoscale, our particles gain a special ability to slip right into plant roots and leaves to then deliver their payloads directly into cells. This nano-size allows the molecules to act like both a powerful chelator plus an adjuvant all in one for better results. Try a few of these products and compare for yourself how they deliver consistent control and performance on turfgrass.

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.
