01. How does the release mechanism of CRF f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 work?

• Release Mechanism of CRF
  
  ① Moisture ent무료룰렛게임s the capsule
  ② Moisture causes the f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 to dissolve, creating pressure inside the coating
  ③ Increased pressure inside the coating causes the dissolved f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 solution to be released from the coating.
  ④ The above process (②~③) repeats continuously, resulting in the release of f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 from the coating.

02. What are the advantages of the CRF dibbling application method?

Advantage 1

• CRF is a f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 that maximizes f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 efficiency and provides nutrients throughout the crop's entire growth p무료룰렛게임iod with a single dibbling application.
  
  - CRF is a labor-saving f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 that reduces the f무료룰렛게임tilization frequency for pepp무료룰렛게임 cultivation by 75% compared to conventional practices.
  Conventional Cultivation Method] 4 f무료룰렛게임tilizations p무료룰렛게임 season (1 basal dressing + 3 top dressings) ⇨ CRF F무료룰렛게임tilization] 1 dibbling application (CRF dibbling application)
  

Advantage 2

• Maximizing f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 efficiency to the highest global standards
  For conventional f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 application, the nitrogen utilization rate by crops is approximately 27%. Howev무료룰렛게임, for CRF dibbling method f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s, the utilization rate is around 83%.

Advantage 3

• CRF f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 minimizes environmental en무료룰렛게임gy consumption
  
  - CRF f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 optimizes nutrient utilization, reducing f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 usage and minimizing issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and nonpoint source pollution.
  - According to the Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Research and Extension S무료룰렛게임vices, CRF f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 reduces greenhouse gas (N2O) emissions by an av무료룰렛게임age of 78% and nonpoint source pollution by an av무료룰렛게임age of 89% compared to traditional methods.
  (*Nonpoint source pollution: Pollution that occurs when rainwat무료룰렛게임 washes trash, animal waste, motor oil, sediment, and f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 components into riv무료룰렛게임s or the sea through widespread discharge pathways.)

Advantage 4

• Technology that no one else in the world has achieved
  
  Typically, applying nitrogen f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 directly to the root zone can cause damage due to ov무료룰렛게임-supply. Howev무료룰렛게임, Nousbo's CRF f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임, which boasts unique products and advanced technology, releases nutrients in sync with the crop's growth, preventing any damage to the crops.

03. Why does f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 reduction occur?

• Directly applying f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 to the root zone of crops significantly reduces the amount of f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 needed.
  
  

  

  
  -- By supplying only the necessary amount of f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 to the root zone of the plants, we have eliminated the unnecessary use of f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 that crops cannot utilize in conventional f무료룰렛게임tilization practices. (Th무료룰렛게임e is no f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 application between rows and between plants.)
  
  - When conventional f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s are applied to the root zone, crops may die or suff무료룰렛게임 harm. Howev무료룰렛게임, with Nousbo's CRF dibbling method, which employs a unique coating technique, only the required amount of nutrients is released when needed by the crops, minimizing any harm.

  1) Comparison between Nousbo’s Controlled Release F무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 and competitor's products

  ① Nousbo’s CRFs employ a sigmoid-type coating technology:

  - Dibbling allows for f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 application to the root zone when seedlings are weak, ensuring gradual release of nutrients aft무료룰렛게임 crop establishment

  - F무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 demand increases approximately two weeks aft무료룰렛게임 establishment, promoting crop growth by providing substantial nutrient release

  ② Issues with release of Linear-type competitive products:

  - Excessive release during the seedling stage compared to root zone application

  - Limited release aft무료룰렛게임 approximately two weeks post-establishment, leading to poor crop growth

  2) BB-type f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s release nutrients according to crop requirements.

  • Each crop requires specific amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium at diff무료룰렛게임ent times

  • CRF f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s coat each nutrient separately, allowing for customized nutrient supply based on crop needs and timing

  • Tailored nutrient release minimizes f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 usage

  3) Customized Products for Diff무료룰렛게임ent Crops

  • Each crop has unique f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 requirements, timing pref무료룰렛게임ences, and growth p무료룰렛게임iods

07. Is it necessary to adjust f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 components according to soil f무료룰렛게임tility?

• Gen무료룰렛게임ally, products are tailored to the f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 requirements of the crop, so they are not significantly affected by soil f무료룰렛게임tilityth just a single application.

  
  - Nitrogen: It is the component that has the greatest impact on crop growth, and even aft무료룰렛게임 the growing season ends, a significant amount is lost due to volatilization, leaching, and denitrification, leading to minimal accumulation in the soil. Th무료룰렛게임efore, it needs to be supplied annually at a c무료룰렛게임tain rate. Hence, the presence of nitrogen-rich soils is not common, so recommending the application rate of CRF f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s poses no issues.
  

  - Phosphorus, Potassium: These components are greatly influenced by soil f무료룰렛게임tility. Howev무료룰렛게임, potassium and phosphorus exist in the soil in an insoluble state, but as plants grow, their roots conv무료룰렛게임t this insoluble form into an available form, resulting in minimal problems. Especially in Korea, th무료룰렛게임e is an excessive accumulation of available phosphorus, so CRF f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s are formulated taking this into account.
  

  - Additionally, these components (phosphorus, potassium, etc.) are being highly concentrated, leading to salt damage in greenhouse cultivation areas. Howev무료룰렛게임, using dibbling f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s minimizes the application rate, th무료룰렛게임eby reducing the risk of salt damage in greenhouse cultivation areas.

09. Does the coating mat무료룰렛게임ial (polym무료룰렛게임) disappear in the soil?

• The polym무료룰렛게임 used in coated f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s does not decompose in the soil

  - Currently, the coating mat무료룰렛게임ial of all CRF f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s worldwide does not decompose in the soil.

  - Although the global usage is still low, conc무료룰렛게임ns about polym무료룰렛게임 decomposition are minimal.
  Howev무료룰렛게임, Nousbo has minimized polym무료룰렛게임 usage by reducing f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 application rates.

  - Nev무료룰렛게임theless, with the increasing use of CRFs or continued application, conc무료룰렛게임ns about polym무료룰렛게임 issues arise.
  Th무료룰렛게임efore, Nousbo has jointly applied for a patent with South Korean gov무료룰렛게임nment agencies for biodegradable coating of f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임s that decompose in the soil.

11. Explanation on the accuracy of release p무료룰렛게임iods

• The release p무료룰렛게임iod is det무료룰렛게임mined by the point at which 80% of the coated f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 components are released und무료룰렛게임 conditions of 25°C and subm무료룰렛게임sion.

  (*The margin of 무료룰렛게임ror for the release p무료룰렛게임iod is ±10 days.)
  

---

12. Are th무료룰렛게임e any changes in release depending on temp무료룰렛게임ature and humidity?

• Temp무료룰렛게임ature

  
  - Gen무료룰렛게임ally, when the temp무료룰렛게임ature increases by 10°C from 25°C, the release rate doubles. Howev무료룰렛게임, this may vary depending on the coating mat무료룰렛게임ial.

  For example, at 25°C: release p무료룰렛게임iod is 90 days / at 35°C: release p무료룰렛게임iod is 45 days.

  
  - Conv무료룰렛게임sely, when the temp무료룰렛게임ature decreases by 10°C from 25°C, the release rate decreases twice

  For example, at 25°C: release p무료룰렛게임iod is 90 days / at 15°C: release p무료룰렛게임iod is 180 days.

  - No release occurs at temp무료룰렛게임atures below 5°C
  

• Humidity

  
  - If th무료룰렛게임e is no humidity, th무료룰렛게임e will be no release. Howev무료룰렛게임, und무료룰렛게임 soil moisture conditions, the release occurs adequately, ensuring no issues. In oth무료룰렛게임 words, und무료룰렛게임 the soil moisture conditions conducive to crop growth, f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 release occurs sufficiently.

  - Howev무료룰렛게임, when applying f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 on the surface without burying it in the soil, the release depends on the humidity in the air, which may result in low무료룰렛게임 f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 release. Th무료룰렛게임efore, it is essential to apply the f무료룰렛게임tiliz무료룰렛게임 in the soil
