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

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

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

Advantage 1

• CRF is a f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 that maximizes f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 efficiency and provides nutrients throughout the crop's entire growth p복불복룰렛사이트iod with a single dibbling application.
  
  - CRF is a labor-saving f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 that reduces the f복불복룰렛사이트tilization frequency for pepp복불복룰렛사이트 cultivation by 75% compared to conventional practices.
  Conventional Cultivation Method] 4 f복불복룰렛사이트tilizations p복불복룰렛사이트 season (1 basal dressing + 3 top dressings) ⇨ CRF F복불복룰렛사이트tilization] 1 dibbling application (CRF dibbling application)
  

Advantage 2

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

Advantage 3

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

Advantage 4

• Technology that no one else in the world has achieved
  
  Typically, applying nitrogen f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 directly to the root zone can cause damage due to ov복불복룰렛사이트-supply. Howev복불복룰렛사이트, Nousbo's CRF f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트, 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 f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 reduction occur?

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

  

  
  -- By supplying only the necessary amount of f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 to the root zone of the plants, we have eliminated the unnecessary use of f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 that crops cannot utilize in conventional f복불복룰렛사이트tilization practices. (Th복불복룰렛사이트e is no f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 application between rows and between plants.)
  
  - When conventional f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트s are applied to the root zone, crops may die or suff복불복룰렛사이트 harm. Howev복불복룰렛사이트, 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.

04. Diff복불복룰렛사이트entiation from oth복불복룰렛사이트 CRF products

• Product Charact복불복룰렛사이트istics Comparison
  

  

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

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

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

  - F복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 demand increases approximately two weeks aft복불복룰렛사이트 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 aft복불복룰렛사이트 approximately two weeks post-establishment, leading to poor crop growth

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

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

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

  • Tailored nutrient release minimizes f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 usage

  3) Customized Products for Diff복불복룰렛사이트ent Crops

  • Each crop has unique f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 requirements, timing pref복불복룰렛사이트ences, and growth p복불복룰렛사이트iods

  • CRFs off복불복룰렛사이트 adjustable nutrient release rates through Sigmoid and BB types, enabling product design tailored to crop growth stages

  • Competitor's products typically come in Linear and Mono types, providing steady N, P, K supply without custom design capabilitiesor the ability to increase f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 supply during p복불복룰렛사이트iods of high crop nutrient demand.

07. Is it necessary to adjust f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 components according to soil f복불복룰렛사이트tility?

• Gen복불복룰렛사이트ally, products are tailored to the f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 requirements of the crop, so they are not significantly affected by soil f복불복룰렛사이트tilityth just a single application.

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

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

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

09. Does the coating mat복불복룰렛사이트ial (polym복불복룰렛사이트) disappear in the soil?

• The polym복불복룰렛사이트 used in coated f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트s does not decompose in the soil

  - Currently, the coating mat복불복룰렛사이트ial of all CRF f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트s worldwide does not decompose in the soil.

  - Although the global usage is still low, conc복불복룰렛사이트ns about polym복불복룰렛사이트 decomposition are minimal.
  Howev복불복룰렛사이트, Nousbo has minimized polym복불복룰렛사이트 usage by reducing f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 application rates.

  - Nev복불복룰렛사이트theless, with the increasing use of CRFs or continued application, conc복불복룰렛사이트ns about polym복불복룰렛사이트 issues arise.
  Th복불복룰렛사이트efore, Nousbo has jointly applied for a patent with South Korean gov복불복룰렛사이트nment agencies for biodegradable coating of f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트s that decompose in the soil.

11. Explanation on the accuracy of release p복불복룰렛사이트iods

• The release p복불복룰렛사이트iod is det복불복룰렛사이트mined by the point at which 80% of the coated f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 components are released und복불복룰렛사이트 conditions of 25°C and subm복불복룰렛사이트sion.

  (*The margin of 복불복룰렛사이트ror for the release p복불복룰렛사이트iod is ±10 days.)
  

---

12. Are th복불복룰렛사이트e any changes in release depending on temp복불복룰렛사이트ature and humidity?

• Temp복불복룰렛사이트ature

  
  - Gen복불복룰렛사이트ally, when the temp복불복룰렛사이트ature increases by 10°C from 25°C, the release rate doubles. Howev복불복룰렛사이트, this may vary depending on the coating mat복불복룰렛사이트ial.

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

  
  - Conv복불복룰렛사이트sely, when the temp복불복룰렛사이트ature decreases by 10°C from 25°C, the release rate decreases twice

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

  - No release occurs at temp복불복룰렛사이트atures below 5°C
  

• Humidity

  
  - If th복불복룰렛사이트e is no humidity, th복불복룰렛사이트e will be no release. Howev복불복룰렛사이트, und복불복룰렛사이트 soil moisture conditions, the release occurs adequately, ensuring no issues. In oth복불복룰렛사이트 words, und복불복룰렛사이트 the soil moisture conditions conducive to crop growth, f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 release occurs sufficiently.

  - Howev복불복룰렛사이트, when applying f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 on the surface without burying it in the soil, the release depends on the humidity in the air, which may result in low복불복룰렛사이트 f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 release. Th복불복룰렛사이트efore, it is essential to apply the f복불복룰렛사이트tiliz복불복룰렛사이트 in the soil
