WATER STORED
WHERE ROOTS NEED IT
Granular NANOTERN captures rain or irrigation water, holds it in a polymer network and releases moisture as the soil dries.
The response
A reserve near the roots
Stored water supports moisture availability between rainfall and irrigation.
Water availability
Moisture is stored close to the root zone for gradual uptake.
Soil conditions
The reservoir helps buffer changes in soil moisture and temperature.
Repeated hydration
Granules absorb, release and absorb again as water becomes available.
How granular Nanotern works
Absorb. Store. Release.
Absorb again.
The manufacturer describes a hydrophilic, cross-linked polymer network. Dry granules absorb rain or irrigation water, swell into a gel and release moisture gradually around the root zone.
Aqua uses a different liquid formulation that interacts with soil particles and pore structures; it does not form individually swelling granules.

INSIGHTS FROM OUR
TECHNOLOGIES AND MARKETS
Product information from the ANT Systems portfolio, organized around practical questions.
Granules or liquid Aqua?
Granules swell and store water in a polymer network. Aqua works as a liquid system within the soil structure. These mechanisms and their application routes should be considered separately.
Compare the product range ↗Bio+, Nutri and Custom
Bio+ focuses on cellulose-based moisture management. Nutri adds micronutrients. Custom is tailored to specific soil and application requirements.
Explore the formulations ↗From cultivation to landscaping
The portfolio covers agricultural production, nurseries and soilless systems alongside gardens, parks, turf and green roofs. Share the use and site conditions when enquiring.
Discuss your application ↗Product questions
Based on the manufacturer portfolio and FAQ, pp. 13–14, 19, 23 and 29–32.
What is Nanotern and how does it work?
ANT Systems describes Nanotern as a subsoil water reservoir. Granular formulations absorb water and gradually release it around plant roots. Aqua is a separate liquid system that interacts with soil particles and pore structures.
Which soils and climates are covered?
The portfolio lists sandy, loamy, clay, silty, peaty and chalky soils, and applications from arid and semi-arid to temperate and tropical climates. Discuss the specific formulation and site conditions with our team.
How long does it remain in soil?
The Agriculture formulation is described as active for up to two years. Bio+ and Nutri are described as fully biodegrading within one year. Custom is listed at one to two years and Landscaping at two years. These are manufacturer descriptions, not one duration for every product.
Is Nanotern biodegradable?
The manufacturer presents biodegradability as a portfolio feature. The Bio+ and Nutri descriptions explicitly identify cellulose-based formulations and a one-year breakdown period. Agriculture and Landscaping are described as polyacrylate-based. Refer to the exact product specification when selecting a formulation.
Can it be used with fertilizers?
The manufacturer FAQ states compatibility with most standard agricultural inputs. Nutri incorporates micronutrients including boron, iron and zinc. Share the inputs and intended use so compatibility can be discussed for your application.
Is special application equipment required?
The brochure says granular Nanotern can be applied manually or mechanically, mixed into soil or placed around root zones. Agriculture Aqua is delivered through irrigation systems, including drip irrigation. Product-specific instructions should guide application.
Can it be used in soilless systems?
The brochure includes hydroponics and other soilless applications, describing moisture and nutrient retention around the root zone. The appropriate formulation and application method should be selected for the system.
Are the performance figures guaranteed?
The portfolio reports figures such as up to 50% water savings and up to 25% yield increase. These are manufacturer-reported potential figures. They do not establish a guaranteed result for every product, crop or project.
Who manufactures the products and who supplies them?
Nanotern is a product of ANT Systems. Nano4Green provides distribution, market access, delivery coordination and agronomic application guidance. Nano4Green’s official and exclusive GCC distribution relationship is specific to Nanotern.
