Slow-release Micronutrient Fertilizers

Technology Description

Technologies for environment friendly micronutrient fertilizers. Water insoluble, polymeric phosphate based compounds of zinc, iron, manganese, copper, molybdenum and/or boron that can be produced as single nutrient as well as multinutrient materials

The new fertilizers provide highly effective sources of micronutrients that increase crop yields by 20-40% with small applications, which are one-fourth to one-tenth the normal dosages. They provide a non-polluting and cost effective alternative for micronutrient fertilization that is suitable for any soil or crop. They can substantially increase productivity of crops like cereals, pulses and vegetables and thereby improve economic conditions of the farmers.
