How do Omni Crop Care products work?
Omni Crop Care effectively works as a delivery system for nutrients and crop protection products. Omni Crop Care protects molecules from environmental losses and efficiently delivers them to plants at the cellular level. A process called endocytosis brings the particles into the cell where the “payload” is emptied.
What is Aqua-Yield® technology?
Aqua-Yield® is a proven, patented technology that encapsulates the inputs you already use into tiny particles that glide through foliar and root barriers, lodging themselves in the right locations within a plant to deliver their payloads. This technology is relatively new in agriculture but is being studied and used across multiple fields including science, mechanics, electronics, biology, and medicine.
How do Aqua-Yield® particles load and unload?
Particles can load in a couple ways:
The processes above operate in reverse once inside plant cells.
Are Omni Crop Care products organic?
Omni Crop Care products are OMRI Listed. They may be used in certified organic production or food processing and handling according to the USDA National Organic Program regulations. Omni Crop Care products are pending CDFA and WSDA organic certifications.
How does the Omni Crop Care product line affect soil health and the environment?
Omni Crop Care is specifically designed to be a regenerative driver to help foster the cycling of resources and promote a harmonious ecological system each growing season. By incorporating Omni Crop Care into an organic production system, the soil rhizosphere increases biological activity and organic matter. This in turn allows for better storage of nutrients such as nitrogen and a healthy biodiversity required for optimum plant growth.
Especially in times of drought, studies show that an organic production system provides crops a better environment to handle the stress. Omni Crop Care is a tool for growers to help improve on their current management practices.
What kind of products does Omni Crop Care offer?
What rate do I apply Omni Crop Care products?
Our general application rate for Omni products is 2-6 oz. per acre. The application rate for CXPro is 2.5 gallons per acre. Application recommendations may vary based on crop and soil or in-season tissue testing. Low use rates make Omni Crop Care products easy to use and incorporate into many liquid programs.
Why are Omni product rates only 2-6 oz per acre?
Our technology allows for thousands of ions, whether nutrient ions or crop protection ions to load inside the particles. The particles protect the ions and deliver them to plants at the cellular level. Now thousands of ions are efficiently deployed inside the cell. This is why
Aqua-Yield® Technology is the most efficient technology on the market.
What is the grower’s cost?
$4.25-$12.00 per acre on average for Omni products.

Do I need to change my current fertility program?
You don’t have to change your program to add Omni Crop Care. Adding our products into your current organic production program is easy. Our solutions enhance the efficiency of your current crop inputs without disrupting your current approach.
How can Omni Crop Care products be applied?
Aqua-Yield® products can be applied with any application of liquid fertilizer or crop protection including in-furrow, banded, broadcast, foliar, and irrigated. Omni Crop Care products are truly easy to implement and are user friendly.
What is the shelf life of Omni Crop Care products?
There is no shelf life restrictions for OmniPro and OmniGro. CXPro has a shelf life of 12 months and cannot freeze.
Can I mix Omni Crop Care products with any crop input product for organic production?
Our products are highly compatible with many crop input products. A compatibility test is recommended before applying combinations of this product with any other product. Always follow label guidelines. Omni Crop Care products are not intended to be used with dry fertilizers.
Can I use multiple Omni Crop Care products in an application and/or throughout a growing season?
We generally recommend that products are chosen based on soil or in-season tissue testing as well as nutrient requirements of the specific crop. If a grower wants to mix multiple nanoliquid products for one application, they should consult with an Aqua-Yield® representative.
What order should I mix Omni Crop Care products with other ag inputs?
For soil applications, add fertilizer solution to the tank then add OmniGro. For foliar, add water to the tank (as needed), OmniGro, then crop input. For crop protection, add the water first, OmniPro, pesticide, then surfactant.
Omni Crop Care products are intended to supplement any fertility program. For specific product mixing refer to the label or website.
What kind of ROI (return on investment) should growers expect?
With over 650 trials conducted using Aqua-Yield® products a 3:1 return has been determined.
Can Omni Crop Care products be applied only on certain crops and/or areas of the country?
No matter the crop or location, growers are yielding the benefits of our products. Aqua-Yield® Technology has had proven success on many crops from turf, citrus, melons, corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa, and many more.
How have Omni Crop Care products been tested?
Aqua-Yield® has conducted a vigorous trial campaign to prove its technology. Over 650 trials have been conducted with many of these on-farm trials: America’s proving grounds. Aqua-Yield® has also enlisted several universities and third-party cooperators to test products head-to-head with the industry standard fertility and crop protection programs.
What crop response should I expect?
