FAQ: Do nanoliquid® products improve delivery of chelated fertilizer?

Brit Hunter, Technical Agronomist • Jun 21, 2023

Answer: Yes. Both chelation and nanoliquid® technology improve plant nutrient uptake. Chelation improves plant nutrient availability, and nanoliquid® technology increases the quantity of nutrients delivered in each application.

Chelated nutrients are only slightly larger in size than non-chelated nutrients, making them small enough to load and deliver using Nanoliquid technology.

Chelation: Nutrient products are referred to as “chelated” when organic molecules are bound to the nutrient ion (usually metals like Fe, Cu, Mn, and Zn), which protects the nutrient from immobilization and greatly improves plant availability.

 

Nanoliquid® technology: Nanoliquid® technology provides a unique pathway for plant nutrient uptake called endocytosis, which drastically increases the quantity of nutrients absorbed by plants at one time.

 

Chelation and nanoliquid® together: Chelated products are a clear choice for delivering critical micronutrients due to their superior plant availability. Chelated fertilizers such as chelated iron are readily loaded onto nanoparticles in any nanoliquid® product, which deliver more nutrients in every application. Together, chelates and nanoliquid® technology provide a powerful and effective nutrient delivery solution.

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.
