The polymer used in coated fertilizers does not decompose in the soil
- Currently, the coating material of all CRF fertilizers worldwide does not decompose in the soil.
- Although the global usage is still low, concerns about polymer decomposition are minimal. However, Nousbo has minimized polymer usage by reducing fertilizer application rates.
- Nevertheless, with the increasing use of CRFs or continued application, concerns about polymer issues arise. Therefore, Nousbo has jointly applied for a patent with South Korean government agencies for biodegradable coating of fertilizers that decompose in the soil.
