Nuvano® Optimizer Technologies

Formulations, Optimized.


Nuvano’s Optimizer technologies are built around a combination of cutting-edge formulation tools designed to improve the performance, consistency, and usability of agricultural inputs. These formulations incorporate proprietary acid blends that help condition spray water and support a more favorable tank environment, novel block copolymers that improve water movement and distribution, and best-in-class nutrient sources such as monopotassium phosphate to provide highly soluble phosphorus and potassium.

These technologies are delivered through highly compatible, water-based formulations that are designed to integrate easily into existing application, fertilizer-blending, and crop nutrition programs. Together, they help support better mixing, more uniform application, improved nutrient delivery, and greater consistency across foliar, in-furrow, side-dress, irrigation, and fertilizer-coating applications.

Chelix™ Technology

Chelix Technology is an advanced ultra-chelation platform designed to keep nutrients active, stable, and available for plant uptake. Unlike traditional chelation systems that typically bind a limited number of nutrient ions, each Chelix structure can carry more than 200 ions, including both positively and negatively charged nutrients. Once loaded, the structure carries a net-neutral charge, helping reduce unwanted reactions and nutrient tie-up in the spray solution, soil, or plant environment. This allows more phosphorus and other key nutrients to remain mobile and available when the crop needs them.

Qflo™ Technology

Qflo Technology particles load crop inputs from macro and micronutrients to crop protection products onto their hyper-functionalized surfaces, carrying them past physical plant barriers and directly into cell pathways with unmatched speed and efficiency. 

  • Ultra-High Surface Loading: Because Qflo Technology is smaller than 10nm in size, its surface-area-to-volume ratio is massive compared to conventional carriers. This allows Qflo to "bind and load" a high density of nutrients or pesticide molecules onto a single carrier particle.
  • Barrier Bypass: Plant cell walls and leaf cuticular pores restrict large particles. The quantum scale of Qflo slips past these biological checkpoints effortlessly.
  • Mobility: Once inside the plant, Qflo translocates freely through both xylem (water pathways) and phloem (sugar/nutrient pathways), delivering payloads systemically throughout the entire crop.  By optimizing how inputs are carried and delivered, Qflo Technology can be incorporated into liquid, foliar, starter, side-dress, and dry fertilizer programs to help create more consistent performance across the acre.

Meld™ Technology

Meld Technology uses proprietary lipophilic carriers that mimic the lipid structure of plant cell membranes. Because these carriers interact naturally with the plant surface, they help move nutrients, crop protection chemistries, and biologicals across cell membranes more efficiently through both leaves and roots. Meld is designed to enhance uptake and improve the movement of active ingredients into the plant, helping growers get more performance from the products already in the application.

RhizO₂™ Technology

RhizO₂ is a patented oxygen-infusion technology designed to improve how liquid products move, spread, and perform within the soil environment or rhizosphere. By incorporating stable oxygen-rich bubbles into the formulation, RhizO₂ helps reduce formula surface tension and support more uniform coverage and infiltration of product applications. In the root zone, the added oxygen supports critical-oxygen based chemical reactions, crop metabolites and encourages beneficial microbial activity in the soil.

Stimuli™ Technology

Stimuli Technology is a unique biostimulant technology designed to help liquid and dry fertilizers perform more efficiently, even at lower use rates. Its proprietary blend of kelp, seaweed, fulvic and amino acids, phenols, and trace micronutrients supports root development, stress tolerance, nutrient-use efficiency, water retention, and beneficial microbial activity. By helping plants and fertilizers work more effectively together, Stimuli Technology can support stronger crop performance and higher yield potential with fewer inputs.

Halo Technology

Halo Technology is designed to improve the interaction between water, soil, seed, and fertilizer. It creates a microscopic film around seeds or soil particles that reduces the surface tension of soil water, helping water move and distribute more effectively through the application zone. This supports improved seed-to-soil contact, more uniform hydration, and better movement of nutrients, particularly in conditions where water availability, salt stress, or uneven moisture distribution may limit crop performance.
