Fertigroe® nanofertilizers are slow-release formulations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). These nutrients are encapsulated inside a “carrier,” which protects the nutrients from direct contact with the soil environment. These are “slow-release” because the nutrients are released to plant parts just in time or at a point in the growth stage where plants …
