A company in Sandy is using nanotechnology to help shape the agriculture industry on a global scale by creating a product that helps plants use fertilizer more effectively.

According to Nano-YieldCo-founder Clark T. Bell, the product contains nanoparticles, which are produced in their lab. These nanoparticles are 1,000 times smaller than a grain of sand.

Bell said it took his team about a decade to develop the technology and explained how the solution works with fertilizer. Currently, the product is sold across the U.S. and in 14 other countries. It’s being used on apple and peach orchards, as well as sod and alfalfa farms.
