Quantitative fertigation = “Pulse fertilization”
Application limitations
Fertigation
Water penetration
Gradual dissolution
of the nutrients
After application in the soil:
This stage takes 7-10 days,
depending on longevity
Polymer coated Technology
Water penetration
Further dissolution of
nutrients
Diffusion of nutrients
through the coating to
the soil
Polymer coated Technology
Complete dissolution
of nutrients
At this stage the release rate
decays, according to Fick’s 2nd
law of diffusion.
Water penetration
Diffusion of nutrients
through the coating to
the soil
Polymer coated Technology
After the release is
complete, the coating will
degrade gradually,
leaving no residues in
the soil =

Polymer coated Technology
Nutrients availability follows plant’s requirements
MulticoteAdvantages of
- Application rate is reduced as losses are minimized
- Labor and logistics saving with single application
- The nutrients are released according to the plant needs
- Multicote is tailor made NPK.
- No need for “technical irrigations”.
- Environmental friendly.

Field transplanting – Why ??
Labor problem
- shortage, high turn over & unskillful labor
Logistics problem
- increase in fuel prices means increase in transport costs in infield fertilizer
distribution
Problematic soil
- low pH, nutrients deficiency etc.
Unpredictable weather pattern
- high leaching, delaying fertilizers application, wastage of fertilizer applied
Prevent the problem by CRF
