Nanotern: Smart Subsoil Water Reserve
Better water efficiency. Stronger root systems. Healthier soils.
Nanotern helps growers improve water retention, reduce fertiliser waste, and support healthier crops in changing climate conditions.
Designed for modern agriculture and landscaping, Nanotern absorbs excess water during periods of heavy rainfall and gradually releases it back into the root zone during drier periods. This helps stabilise soil moisture, reduce water stress, and protect plants from both overwatering and underwatering.
Better water balance. Stronger root systems. Higher crop resilience.
What is Nanotern?
Nanotern is a biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) designed to act as an underground water reservoir for plants.
Applied directly into the soil, Nanotern absorbs irrigation water, rainwater, and nutrients, then gradually releases them back into the root zone when plants need them most.
Nanotern is suitable for all major soil types, including sandy, clay, silty, loamy, peaty, and chalky soils.
Key Benefits:
- Reduce waterlogging around roots
- Improve soil aeration
- Support stronger root systems
- Improve nutrient retention after rainfall
- Reduce plant stress caused by inconsistent weather
- Improve crop resilience and overall yield potential
How Nanotern Works
How To Use Nanotern
Recommended Application Dosage:
Seedlings: 3–5 g per seedling (½–1 teaspoon) Apply to the root zone at planting by mixing with the soil.
Trees / Saplings
- Young saplings: 50–150 g
- Mature trees: 200–500 g Apply near the canopy drip line using the pit or ring method.
Garden / Open Field: 2–10 kg per decare (depending on plant density) Localized application per plant is recommended.
Application Notes
- In sandy soils, the application rate may be kept close to the upper limit.
- In clay soils, the lower limit is sufficient.
- Surface broadcasting is not recommended.
- Initial irrigation after application is recommended.
- Compatible with drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.
