Product type
Controlled release fertilizers are specialized fertilizers designed to release nutrients gradually over time, providing a steady supply of essential elements to plants. These fertilizers are typically made from a combination of traditional nutrients encased in a polymer or resin coating that regulates the release rate based on environmental factors such as temperature and moisture. This technology helps to minimize nutrient loss and improve efficiency in nutrient uptake by plants.
| Nutrient release duration | 30 to 180 days |
| Nutrient types | Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients |
| Coating materials | Polymer, resin, or sulfur |
| Application methods | Broadcast, banding, or foliar application |
| Typical formulations | NPK ratios such as 14-14-14 or 16-8-8 |
When selecting controlled release fertilizers, consider the specific nutrient requirements of the crops you are growing, as well as the desired duration of nutrient release. It's important to specify the NPK ratio, coating type, and any additional micronutrients needed. Additionally, inquire about the product's compatibility with your soil type and irrigation practices. Quantities may vary based on the size of the area to be treated and the specific application method.
