DURABLE INPUTS™ – Coating Applications: Pesticide Coating
Extended Protection for Dry-Form Pesticides
Pesticides, biopesticides and botanical actives break down fast. Moisture, humidity, and UV exposure can deactivate the material before it ever impacts the pest.
Durable Inputs™ coatings give dry pesticides staying power.
We apply a bio-based, water-stable film to protect the active ingredient from premature loss—and allow for more gradual release over time.
This isn’t a slow-release nutrient.
It’s a smarter, field-stable way to coat dry pesticide inputs—without polymers, plastics, or synthetic binders.
Experience longer-lasting control performance in the field.
What the Coating Does
| Pesticide Challenge | Durable Inputs™ Coating Fixes It By… |
|---|---|
| Granules degrade in storage or transit | |
| Powders activate too early or clump | Coating separates and stabilizes the material |
| Field loss after application | Reduces early breakdown from heat, UV, or light moisture |
| Active ingredients release all at once | Enables a gradual-release profile without polymers |
| Carrier systems aren’t organic-compatible | Uses bio-based, inert coating compatible with NOP/regen |

How It Works
Durable Inputs™ forms a thin, biodegradable coating around dry pesticide granules or powders—especially biologicals, botanicals, and soft actives.
Once applied, the coating:
- Improves shelf life
- Slows release in the field
- Delays deactivation by moisture or temperature
- Adds handling and storage consistency without synthetic films
Ideal for Coating
Granular botanical pesticides (hemp, neem, garlic, etc.)
Mineral-based contact products (sulfur, clays)
Microbial biopesticide powders (Trichoderma, Bacillus, etc.)
Biofungicides and dry biocontrol agents
Custom dry premix blends for organic use
In-furrow or top-dressed dry pesticide products
Performance Comparison
| Feature | Uncoated Dry Pesticide | Plastic-Coated CRF | Durable Inputs™ (PED) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Release rate control | ❌ No | ✅ Timed (nutrient) | ✅ Timed (pesticide) |
| Organic compatibility | ⚠️ Depends on base | ❌ Rare | ✅ Yes (Organicote™) |
| Moisture resistance pre-application | ❌ Low | ✅ High | ✅ High |
| Storage and transport stability | ⚠️ Variable | ✅ Good | ✅ Strong |
| Microplastic-free | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
Ideal Applications
- Longer field presence of natural and biological actives
- Cleaner performance in rain- or humidity-prone regions
- Shelf-stable pesticide granules for retail or bulk storage
- More consistent pest suppression from contact or soil-layered actives
- A true “controlled-release pesticide” alternative—without synthetic baggage
Start field-testing a better delivery method for dry inputs.
Bottom Line
You don’t need to invent a new pesticide.
You just need a better way to protect it.
Durable Inputs™ coatings turn short-lived dry pesticides into stable, gradual-delivery solutions—without plastics, oils, or synthetic layers.
