If you take bio-chemistry down to its basic level, all living cells convert elements (minerals and metals) into an energy that it can use. In order to do this, they must break down these elements into small enough particles to infiltrate and flow within the plant.

Colloidal chemistry involves the formation of colloids, a chemical mixture where one substance is suspended in another. Colloidal chemistry allows particles to enter a plant.

Nanotechnology is anything that refers to biological action at a microscopic level. Nanotechnology by definition refers to items that are 100 nanometers or smaller.

Brix, or Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is measured with a refractometer and measures the sugar level in a plant. When a plant combines water molecules, carbon dioxide, and radiation from the sun, it is creating sugars. Increased sugars means increased energy, which translates directly to more growth, plant health and yield.

An adjuvant is any non-pesticide product added to a pesticide spray to improve mixing and stability in the tank and during application of the spray.

A surfactant is a chemical that modifies surface tension. Surfactants can influence the spreading of liquids and can affect the dispersion and suspension of pesticides in water.
