Adding NanoPro® for improved fungicide applications

Jenny Phillips, Director of Marketing • Jun 28, 2022

Not only does Aqua-Yield® offer nanoliquid products that enhance the efficiency of liquid fertilizers but also a product that improves crop protection product performance: NanoPro®. 


NanoPro® can be added to most spray mixtures to improve the uptake of fungicide products. Aqua-Yield® nanoliquid technology works as a delivery system for fungicides. While most active ingredients enter the plant cell wall through diffusion, the nanoliquid particle will load the active ingredient molecules and then bulk transport them through the wall by endocystosis. 


NanoPro® is clean, easy handling and safe for the environment, at just a 4 oz/ac rate. This product is field tested and grower approved to change the way you manage crops.  


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

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® controls potato blight

In another trial on potatoes, by adding just 4 oz/ac NanoPro® with fungicides the grower is able to knock out blight; a potentially quick spreading, devastating disease infecting the entire crop from tubers to leaves.

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

By Brit Hunter, Technical Agronomist • 30 Nov, 2023
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.
