AI Technical Summary
Existing agricultural products, such as fertilizers and biostimulants, face challenges with rapid dispersion in water and soils, leading to inefficient use and environmental pollution, as well as limited control over the release of active ingredients, which hampers their effectiveness and persistence in specific crop conditions.
A multilayer coating technology using thermodynamic methods with low-melting materials and canalizing agents, such as protein hydrolysates and waxes, to create a controlled release system that reduces hygroscopicity and modulates the release of active ingredients based on environmental conditions, avoiding the use of organic solvents.
This technology enables a flexible and controlled release of active ingredients, enhancing crop yield and soil quality by reducing waste and environmental impact, while allowing for tailored application and extended persistence of biostimulants and fertilizers.
