Problem
Traditional fertilizers often exhibit low nutrient absorption rates in crops, leading to significant nutrient loss through runoff and reduced effectiveness. This inefficiency necessitates higher fertilizer application rates, increasing costs for growers and contributing to environmental pollution.
Solution
Aqua-Yield provides nanotechnology-based solutions designed to enhance nutrient delivery and absorption in crops. Their nanoliquid technology acts as a delivery system for crop inputs, facilitating the transport of molecules through the plant cell wall via endocytosis, rather than relying solely on diffusion. This approach improves the performance of liquid fertilizers and crop protection products by increasing nutrient uptake and minimizing waste. The technology is designed to be compatible with existing fertility and crop protection programs, offering ease of integration without disrupting established practices.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes growers in the US, Canada, and international markets, as well as those involved in organic crop production and the turf industry.
