A research team at Utah State University has developed a nanotech fertilizer that's more efficient than traditional fertilizer.

Yiming Su, an assistant professor in USU's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, led the study.

Su said nanotech fertilizer efficiency varies by crop or plant, but many of their plants have needed 30% less of the nanotech fertilizer than traditional fertilizer. Some of their plants, though, have needed only half as much nanotech fertilizer, and some have used 75% less nanotech fertilizer than traditional fertilizer, he said.

It's not yet ready for widespread use. However, there is strong evidence that "the innovation of nano-enabled agrochemicals represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture and food production," according to the research.

Utah State Board of Education calls for special vote on school choice billThe Utah State Board of Education has called a special meeting for Monday at 7 a.m. to vote on whether to support a bill that would create a school choice scholarship, also being called a school voucher, and increase teacher salaries. Raises for teachers and school vouchers are two entirely different things and should not be combined into one bill. The legislature is once again trying to shove through something that voters have already turned down (vouchers) by tying it to something that's needed. Why do the UtahGOP and the GOP in general, hate Public Education? I'll tell you why, because it educates minorities and the less fortunate on an equal basis as Caucasians/white.
