Product type
Coated fertilizers are specialized fertilizers that have a protective coating to control the release of nutrients over time. This coating can be made from various materials, including polymers or natural substances, which helps to enhance nutrient availability and reduce leaching. They are typically used in agriculture and horticulture to improve crop yield and quality by ensuring that plants receive nutrients steadily throughout their growth cycle.
| Release type | Controlled-release or slow-release |
| Coating materials | Polymer, sulfur, or biodegradable materials |
| Nutrient types | NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) and micronutrients |
| Application rate | Varies based on crop type, typically 100 to 500 kg/ha |
| Longevity | Release duration from 30 to 180 days |
When selecting coated fertilizers, buyers should consider the specific nutrient needs of their crops, the desired release duration, and the environmental conditions of their growing area. It's important to specify the type of coating, the nutrient composition, and any required certifications for organic or sustainable practices when requesting a quote. Additionally, consider ordering in bulk to meet larger agricultural demands.
