To reduce leaching of nutrients in the soil, SOCO® Polymer may be mixed dry into fertilizer preparations. The behavior of plants fertilized with this mixture makes it possible to maintain or even increase yield while at the same time protecting the environment from leaching. Manufacturers' test results also show better root development of the plants.
Savings on the order of 15% to 30% are observed in the amount of fertilizers.
The polymer is added dry when the fertilizers are manufactured.
Mixing SOCO® Polymer with fertilizer can significantly increase the fertilizer efficiency.
SOCO® Polymer can be compounded or mixed with fertilizers to make organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer and slow/controlled-release fertilizers with water-absorbing and water-retaining properties. It can effectively absorb chemical fertilizers and mineral nutrients in the soil, slowly release them for plant growth, and reduce nutrient leaching losses, saving water and fertilizer, and improving water and fertilizer utilization efficiency.
Applications Methods:Regranulation Process and Physical Blending
1.Reduce Nutrient Leaching: SOCO® Polymer helps retain nutrients in the soil, minimizing leaching and ensuring that plants receive consistent nourishment.
2.Maintain or Increase Yields: Plants fertilized with SOCO®-infused fertilizers show strong growth and productivity, allowing for stable or even increased crop yields.
3.Improve Root Development: Test results indicate better root development, leading to healthier and more robust plants.
4.Save on Fertilizer Costs: By using SOCO® Polymer, you can achieve fertilizer savings of 15% to 30%, making it a cost-effective solution for both small and large-scale operations.
