24-hr potato data shows greater efficiencies in using NanoPro® with fungicide

Jenny Phillips, Director of Marketing • Apr 07, 2021

A trial was recently conducted by TriYield of Arcadia, Florida to understand how NanoPro® can increase the efficiency of a broad-spectrum fungicide. Luna Tranquility®, a product by Bayer CropScience®, was aerial applied to a potato crop at a rate of 11 oz/ac and 5 gal of water. Another plot area was sprayed with 4 oz/ac NanoPro® added to the fungicide. The active ingredients in Luna Tranquility® include Fluopyram and Pyrimethranil. According to Bayer CropScience®, “Luna Tranquility® provides excellent leaf spot complex protection (early blight and brown leaf spot), including strains with reduced sensitivity to Group 11 and current Group 7 fungicides. It also protects against white mold and black dot.”

Lab Results

At 2 hours applications of Luna Tranquility® alone showed “undetected” concentrations whereas Luna Tranquility® mixed with NanoPro® had detectable levels. NanoPro® delivered the product more quickly to the plant, allowing more time for the systemic nature of the fungicide to mobilize throughout the potato plant. NanoPro® also delivered higher concentrations of product to the plant, providing superior protection against plant disease.

NanoPro®, energized by Aqua-Yield® NanoShield® Technology, can be added to any spray mixture to enhance plant uptake of specialty and generic crop protection products. This product is field tested and grower approved to advance the way you manage crops and control weeds. CLICK HERE to learn more about NanoPro®.

Some of their success has been attributed to two sustainable product lines which continue to prove their worth in providing early and faster growth, more healthy plants and cost-effective returns on investment: Calcine® and nanotechnology-based products from Aqua-Yield®.

JUST IN: 2023 Beck's Practical Farm Research (PFR)® Data

By Jenny Phillips, Director of Marketing • 06 Dec, 2023

Aqua-Yield® was excited to partner with Beck's again this year and trial some of our nanoliquid® products through their PFR (Practical Farm Research) program. Our 2-year multi-location trials show how our technology helps growers take their inputs to the next level. We strive to become PFR Proven next year!

NanoPro® PGR Solutions

NanoPro is the Aqua-Yield® flagship carrier adjuvant for crop protection applications. Add NanoPro to any Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) product to increase plant uptake and amplify the end result for crops. PGR products mimic natural plant hormones that either promote or slow plant growth. The chemical structure of PGR products is highly synergistic with Aqua-Yield nanotechnology.
