Growing Condition

Recommended Formula

Early nursery stage — prioritizing shoot and leaf development

17-8-8+4MgO (High N, higher Mg)

Active growth stage — prioritizing root establishment and balanced nutrition

15-15-6+3MgO (High P, balanced NPK)

Step

Description

① Moisture Penetration

Water penetrates into the polymer-coated capsule

② Fertilizer Dissolving

Nutrients dissolve inside the granule

③ Nutrients Release

Dissolved NPK is gradually released into the soil by osmotic pressure

Unlike slow release fertilizers, CRF is not affected by soil pH, salt damage, microorganism activity, or oxidation — ensuring stable and predictable nutrient availability.

Benefit
