OUR TECHNOLOGY
Nanotern Landscaping
Nanotern is a professional water-retention polymer designed for application within the turf root zone. The granules absorb and hold water, gradually releasing it back to the root zone as needed, helping to maintain optimal soil moisture.
- Absorbs up to 1800x its weight in water (depending on conditions)
- Releases over 40-50 days per cycle / 4-5 cycles
- Biodegradable within 2 years
- Non-toxic and safe for the environment
Key Benefits for Turf
- Improves water retention in the root zone
- Reduces irrigation requirements (up to 50%)
- Supports faster establishment
- Enhances turf resilience during heat and drought
Nanotern Landscaping Aqua
Nanotern Landscaping Aqua is a highly concentrated liquid potassium polyacrylate soil conditioner designed to improve water retention in the turf root zone, support healthy root development and enhance turf resilience.
Applied through irrigation systems, Nanotern Aqua helps slow water drainage through the upper root zone, keeping more moisture available to the turf for longer and making better use of irrigation water.
- Suitable for all irrigation systems
- Designed for application through irrigation water
- Recommended application interval: every 10–15 days
- Suitable for professional sports turf and managed turf areas
Not a fertiliser: Nanotern Aqua is a water-management soil conditioner and provides no nutritional value.
