Austin states, “There was a descent thatch layer and take-all root rot in the grass but we have pushed some very nice new root growth in just two weeks.” Take-all root rot is a common fungal disease in St. Augustine grass and bermudagrass, thriving in thatch causing weak, dead patches of turf.
NanoPro® is easy to use, inexpensive, nanoliquid solution that can help reduce reliance on crop protection chemistries by accelerating delivery of pesticide AIs to crops' root systems and foliage, regardless of application method. At less than $4.00 to the acre, NanoPro has been proven to speed the pace of glyphosate uptake in various weeds, dramatically improving rain fastness and weed kill from the application.
Sod producers have a unique problem every growing season. Sod is the one crop when harvested where soil is actually taken with it. Think about that for a minute. The very soil that is needed to grow the sod is removed at harvest.
Bachman states, “Professionals are eager to use this product as it has a lot of potential and efficacy, a great price point, and is science-based. It’s really an easy sell from a sales perspective; it fits into every type of program and can go with everything.”
Growers across the country are seeing the benefits of using nanoliquid technology in both their fertility and crop protection applications. NanoPro®, when used at 4 oz/ac at under just $3/ac, has provided immediate control on some of the most stubborn weeds.
Aqua-Yield is now the leading nanoliquid company for agricultural production worldwide. T.H. and Betty would be proud to know that the seeds they planted 40 years ago are producing world-class results.
We here at the AY R&D team have recent advances in drone sensing/imagery, AI & machine learning and additional technologies to leverage our 6+ years of customer and research trial data to develop value-added tools.
“Growers have been very responsive and see the impact it makes to their crops and bottom line.” Kamberg has seen some of the best responses of applying Aqua-Yield nanoliquids to citrus, watermelons, and sod.
In sod production, horticultural maintenance as well as golf and sports turf environments, the bermudagrass mite has presented a particularly stubborn challenge to control across intermediate and southern US latitudes. These pests are associated not only with the troubling pathogens they carry (like Citrus Greening Disease and psylla, etc.) compounding challenges for growers. Even in Utah, the AY research team has reported sightings of a once-infrenquent turfgrass pest, the Bank’s Grass Mite.
