Next-generation biodegradable polymer coated CRF
Coating material : PBAT and PBS resins
Precise release up to 60 days
Package : 50 lbs (22.68 kg)
Korea's First Biodegradable Coated Slow-Release Fertilizer, Premium Fertilizer No.1 HI-COTE
Sustainable Solution : Features a biodegradable coating made with PBAT and PBS resins that decompose naturally through soil microorganisms — unlike traditional non-degradable coatings that can take a century to break down.
Gradual Nutrient Release : Ensures efficient, long-term nutrient availability through osmosis effect, supporting sustainable agricultural practices up to 60 days.
Environmental Benefits : Biodegradable coating breaks down safely and efficiently into CO₂ and H₂O, supporting both soil health and sustainability.
Versatile Application : Designed for a variety of farm settings, meeting the needs of diverse agricultural practices.
① Controlled release fertilizer with biodegradable resin coating applied |
② Nutrients (N, P, K) are released by osmosis effect |
③ The coating is gradually decomposed by soil microorganisms |
④ Coating breaks down to pieces over the years → CO₂ + H₂O |
