Why Biodegradable Fertilizer Coatings Are Changing the Game for Growers (And How Durable Inputs™ Lead the Way)
Contact us The Problem: Nutrient Loss and Environmental Impact Every grower faces a costly issue: nutrient loss. Traditional fertilizers dissolve rapidly or wash away, leading to inefficient nutrient use, higher costs, and environmental harm. Agriculture contributes significantly to nitrogen and phosphorus runoff, causing toxic algal blooms and ecosystem damage (EPA). Enter Biodegradable Fertilizer Coatings Biodegradable […]
47 Days of Protection—Zero Plastic.
Contact us Key Findings Snapshot 33 % Granule Mass at Day 47 CNP-17+ held 3.34 g of the original 10 g load. 5.22 g Survived the First 72 h All references hit 0 g by 72 h—only CNP-17+ stayed intact. Smooth Exponential Release (R² ≈ 0.98) No “dump” at end of curve; continuous feeding for […]
Seed Germination Delay
Contact us Executive Summary In Spring 2025, PED conducted an internal observation to evaluate PED’s coating ability to influence seed emergence timing. Using Wando pea seeds in untreated native soil, the trial revealed: 19-day difference in visible germination between coated and uncoated seeds No rot, no fungal damage, and no visible degradation on coated seeds […]
Durable Inputs vs. Slow-Release & Controlled-Release Fertilizers: A Smarter, Cost-Effective Approach to Nutrient Efficiency
Contact us For decades, agriculture has focused on timing—controlling when nutrients are released to crops. Slow-Release Fertilizers (SRFs) and Controlled-Release Fertilizers (CRFs) were introduced to extend nutrient availability over time. But timing alone doesn’t solve nutrient loss—retention matters just as much. That’s why Stabilized Inputs are a step above traditional fertilizers, micronutrients, biostimulants, and soil […]
