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 […]

Tailoring NPK Blends: The Compatibility Advantage of PED’s MVP

Contact us Discover how PED’s MVP technology revolutionizes NPK blending for enhanced crop yields and sustainability. The Challenge: Effective Blending of Calcium Nitrate Calcium nitrate is an essential component in many fertilizer regimens due to its high solubility and rapid availability of calcium and nitrogen. However, integrating it into multi-nutrient NPK blends has posed significant […]

Unlocking the Power of Calcium Nitrate: A Game-Changer in NPK Fertilizer Blends

Contact us In the realm of agricultural advancements, integrating calcium nitrate (CN) into NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) fertilizer blends marks a significant innovation. This element is crucial for plant structure, health, and productivity, yet it is often overlooked in traditional fertilizer formulations. In this blog post, we will explore how coated calcium nitrate enhances these […]

Why Farmers Are Switching to Durable Inputs in 2025

Contact us Farmers are always looking for ways to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and maximize yields—but in 2025, many are making a major shift toward Stabilized Inputs. For years, agriculture has relied on Slow-Release Fertilizers (SRFs) and Controlled-Release Fertilizers (CRFs) to extend nutrient availability. But these products don’t prevent loss—they only control when nutrients are […]

The Hidden Costs of Fertilizer Loss—And How Durable Inputs Solve It

Contact us Fertilizer is a critical investment for farmers, but what if half of what’s applied never reaches crops? Fertilizer loss is costing U.S. farmers billions annually, yet most don’t realize the full impact on their bottom line. Key Facts on Fertilizer Loss: Up to 50% of nitrogen fertilizers can be lost through volatilization, leaching, […]

How Durable Inputs Reduce Runoff & Increase Yield

Contact us Farming is all about efficiency—getting the most out of every input while minimizing waste. Yet, a major challenge in agriculture is nutrient loss due to runoff, volatilization, and leaching. When fertilizers, micronutrients, and biological inputs don’t stay where they belong, farmers lose money, crops suffer, and environmental concerns grow. Enter Stabilized Inputs, a […]

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 […]
