This document provides highlights from multiple field trials testing Aqua Yield's NanoGro, NanoRise, NanoStress, NanoZn, and NanoPro products. Trials showed the products increased plant growth, nutrient levels, yields, quality, and stress tolerance. NanoPro was also found to improve the efficacy of herbicides, fungicides, and defoliants when added, allowing for reduced application rates in some cases. The document summarizes results from various crops like flowers, melons, cotton, corn, potatoes, alfalfa, and wheat grown in locations such as Florida, Arizona, Texas, Wisconsin, and New Mexico.
