The power to realize maximum plant growth and yield comes
packaged in a pellet the size of a raindrop. Nano-Gro™ is a
highly concentrated proprietary formula that uses
cutting-edge Agro Nanotechnology™ to create
stronger, bigger, healthier plants, in a cost effective and
simple to use way.
The active ingredients in Nano-Gro™
come package in coded sugar pellets less than
⅛" in diameter. These pellets are dissolved
in ordinary tap water to create a powerful working solution.
Just one pellet is capable of treating 42 kg of wheat seeds
or 33 tomato plants. At this rate, one kilo of
Nano-Gro™ can be used on enough
seeds to plant 3,333 hectares (8,236 acres) of wheat
or almost 700,000 tomato plants!
Nano-Gro™ is a plant
growth regulator and immunity enhancer. Employing chemical concentrations
in the order of one part per billion,
Nano-Gro™ stands apart from any
product in the market. Different from fertilizers,
Nano-Gro™ is not a source of
nutrients for the plant. And unlike other primers, the product
is not composed of proteins derived from bacteria or other pathogens.
Nano-Gro™ does not contain
hormones and does not, in any way, change the genetic structure
of a plant. Nano-Gro™ helps the plant naturally experience
improved growth and enhanced health benefits resulting from
the proper application of the principles of Agro
Nanotechnology™.
The method of action used by Nano-Gro™ is revolutionary. Acting
as a messenger, Nano-Gro™ is designed to take advantage of the
chemical communication channels plants have developed as a result
of millions of years of evolution. Upon contact with a plant’s
root matrix or a seed, Nano-Gro™ begins to communicate with the
plant. Although almost untraceable in terms of its concentration,
the plant can sense the presence of the product and immediately
prepares a response. The message it has just interpreted is
that the plant is in imminent danger. The plant becomes “convinced”
that its survival is threatened.
Generally, stress messages such as these would depress the affected plant causing effects opposites
to those indicated above. However, with Nano-Gro™ plants reacted in unprecedented ways. At the prescribed dosages, instead of
wilting, treated plants would initiate natural survival mechanisms that allow
them to combat the threat.
How this concept leads to larger, healthier more robust
plants is easy to illustrate in terms of the charts above.
Normally, if there are no overwhelming stressors bearing
down on the plant the expected yields calculated at the
beginning of the season closely resemble the actual yields
at harvest time, as Chart 1 shows. On the other hand,
if the crop is struck by malady, Chart 2, shows the
potential gap between the actual yield compared to the
initial expectations.
Embedded compensation mechanisms, natural to all plants,
are expressed when plants find themselves under undue stress.
That is, when a plant feels threatened it will initiate
processes that help the plant preserve itself and the
species. In particular, the plant tends to increase
fertility, a powerful system that impels the plant
accelerate its growth, augment its reserves of proteins and
sugars, and most importantly, increase reproduction. These
effects translate into higher yields and better quality
product.
Because Nano-Gro™
sends a stress message to the plant, it directly activates
that plant's compensation mechanisms. However, in the
absence of real stress Chart 3 shows how the plant
overshoots whatever expectations about its yields were
calculated before treatment.
Enhanced fertility and the instinct of self-preservation
greatly enhance the productivity, quality and reliability of
a crop. This translates into an improvement to three major areas
of production:
|
Yields*:
Nano-Gro™ increases
yields by an average of 20%, and for some crops
even more. This composite number implies growth in leaf,
biomass, fruit and grain separately. For example, in
some experiments sunflower grain yields increased by
50% and in cucumber trials yield increases of 25% have
been observed.
|
|
Nutritional Value*:
Tests show an increase of about 10% in both protein
and sugar content of treated plant for most types of
crops.
|
|
Health:
Overall health of the plant is enhanced, making it more
resistant to severe weather and extreme atmospheric
conditions. Immunological response is heightened allowing
the plant to fight disease and prevent infections.
|
To some industries it is
also important to know that Nano-Gro™
treated plants grow and yield more uniformly. As specimens
are being pushed to the limits of their growth the tend
to reach similar maximum levels in terms of their biomass,
stature and produce. Whether its farming equipment, processing
or packaging machinery, the uniformity of the consumables
is a highly desired trait.
Whatever your production
needs are or the scale of operation you are running
Nano-Gro™ will improve
the way you produce. Most importantly, these benefits are
produced without harming your plants or the soil. In fact,
as an organic product fully certified by the Organic Materials
Research Institute, Nano-Gro™
is safe enough to be used by organic as well as non-organic
producers.
Understanding the product isn't difficult, getting it to
work for you isn't either. One of the most appealing qualities
of Nano-Gro™ is how easy
it is to use. Nano-Gro™
can be applied in several different ways depending on the crop
grown and the crop management program involved. Because the
product is designed to work upon contact with specific parts
of a plant, its application can be customized to be as cost-efficient
as possible.
Generally, applying the product is as easy as soaking the
seeds of the target plant in a solution made by dissolving the
Nano-Gro™ pellets in tap
water or by applying this solution to rooted plants.
Nano-Gro™ can even be mixed
in with almost all fertilizers or pesticides to save on water
and labor.
