Jim Krebsbach, CRO, tasked himself with creating a summary data set of NanoCS™ using our third party independent replicated data to run the numbers since this data is our most abundant. We conducted NanoCS™ trials on corn in 2020 and 2021 at two cooperator sites for a total of 44 replications. The graph summarizes the data with the following conclusions below:

The 50% plus NanoCS™ treatment out yielded the 100% rate by an average of 12.7 bushels! 7:1 ratio was achieved when the treatment is 50% the recommended in-furrow rate with NanoCS™, that’s just on bushels alone. Think of 50% less liquid fertilizer to handle at planting, less fill time, less logistical coordination to get product to the field, and less money needed for liquid in-furrow products.

As you can see, NanoCS™ is a proven winner; a proven tool to help famers better manage their planting programs. I often get asked why does the 50% less fertilizer applied treatments outperform the full rate treatments when nanoliquid is included? For in-furrow I think the easy answer is less salt applied near the seed. We did use “low salt” fertilizers in the trials, but they do still contain salt. Plus, how do we know the in-furrow rates being recommended are the right rates? We don’t. The common rates of 5-6 gallons per acre could have been set by a bean counter in the back room for all we know. Growers know what works best on their farms, now with NanoCS™ we have provided them a proven tool to help manage costs, time, and grow yield.
