Product Features
propagating substrate for planting, and more particularly to a controlled release propagating substrate (CRPS) for effective plant growth / plant sowing.
CRPS includes: a) propagating substrate; b) surfactant modified zeolite (SMZ); characterized in that the propagating substrate is added with surfactant modified zeolite (SMZ) in a ratio of surfactant modified zeolite (SMZ) to propagating substrate in between 1 : 50 to 15 to 50. CRPS enables to control the release of nutrients in particular elements of N from ammonium, nitrate and nitrite, P from phosphate and K (potassium) from the propagating substrate, such that the growth of plant during sowing time is increased.
