Herbicide-resistant weeds have finally met their match, thanks to a revolutionary new adjuvant, appropriately named NanoRevolution 2.0, introduced by Max Systems LLC.

Added to a tank-mix of glyphosate at the conservative rate of 2-to-4 ounces per acre (based on weed size), NanoRevolution 2.0 has proven effective in killing resistant weed species that had already had up to two applications of the leading glyphosate product.

By definition, nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on a molecular, or even atomic scale, since one nanometer is classified as one billionth of a meter in size. That means the nano-sized particles in NanoRevolution 2.0 can easily penetrate plant cells, taking the herbicide, which binds to them, along for a free ride.
