Terafon® Polymer-Coated Urea (PCU)

Nitrogen Content: 42–45% (grade-dependent)
Release Type: Controlled slow-release via polymer membrane
Release Longevity: 30–360 days (moisture & temperature-activated)
Application: Ideal for field crops, horticulture, turfgrass, orchards, and NPK controlled-release fertilizer blends

Polymer-Coated Urea (PCU) Detailed Specifications

Terafon® Polymer-Coated Urea (PCU) is a premium controlled-release nitrogen (CRN) fertilizer engineered to deliver a consistent and predictable nitrogen supply throughout the entire crop cycle. Using advanced polymer membrane technology, PCU minimizes nitrogen loss from volatilization, leaching, and denitrification—significantly improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and overall crop performance. With customizable release periods ranging from 30 to 360 days, Terafon® PCU is ideal for high-value crops, turfgrass, orchards, field crops, and professional NPK blending.

Shelf Life 3–12 months under proper storage conditions

Key Features & Benefits

1. Precision-Controlled Nitrogen Release

The polymer membrane regulates nutrient diffusion based on soil moisture and temperature, providing a stable, long-term nitrogen supply aligned with crop demand.

2. Improved Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE)

Minimizes nutrient loss through leaching and volatilization, ensuring maximum nitrogen absorption and reducing environmental impact.

3. Extended Nutrient Availability

Multiple release curves (30–360 days) support season-long feeding, helping crops maintain optimal growth, root vigor, and yield formation.

4. Enhanced Sustainability

Modern polymer coatings are solvent-free and degrade gradually, reducing nutrient runoff and promoting environmentally responsible fertilization.

5. Reduced Labor and Application Costs

A single application can replace multiple rounds of conventional urea, cutting manpower, fuel, and equipment operation cost—especially beneficial in large-scale and precision agriculture.

6. Superior Crop Performance

Research shows PCU significantly improves nitrogen uptake, chlorophyll content, and yield, especially in rice, maize, wheat, turfgrass, and horticultural crops.

Applications

  • Field Crops: Corn, wheat, rice, cotton, potatoes
  • Horticulture: Fruits, vegetables, berries, greenhouse production
  • Turf & Lawn Care: Golf courses, sports fields, parks, landscaping
  • Perennial Crops: Orchards, vineyards, plantations
  • NPK Blending: Ideal as the nitrogen component in high-grade controlled-release compound fertilizers
  • Precision Agriculture: Suitable for fertigation and controlled nutrient programs

Application Guidelines

  • Apply evenly to soil before seeding or early growth stages.
  • Release rate depends on soil moisture and temperature—warmer and wetter conditions accelerate nutrient diffusion.
  • Use soil testing and crop nutrient programs to determine application rates.
  • Avoid mechanical damage to coating during transportation or blending.

Packaging & Storage

  • Packaging Options: Available in 9.5 kg and 50 kg woven polypropylene bags with polyethylene liners, or in bulk jumbo bags (500 kg–1,000 kg).
  • Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture, acids, and strong oxidizers.
  • Handling Tips: Keep bags off the ground on pallets, protect from rain, and avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity to prevent caking.
  • Shelf Life: Maintain product quality for up to 12 months under proper storage conditions.
