In one embodiment, the present invention provides a degradable seed pod arranged to be delivered from a vehicle to a ground surface, the pod comprising a seed encased in a hardened material, the hardened material being composed and manufactured in a manner that shields the seed from damage when the pod experiences an impact force.

The present disclosure relates to a controlled-release fertilizer and, more particularly, to a controlled-release fertilizer including: a photodegradable capsule including a binder resin containing a polyolefin and an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer; and a photocatalytic composite in which a (meth)acrylate compound containing an alkylene glycol repeating unit having 1 to 10 carbon atoms is bonded to the surface or inside of aggregates of inorganic fine particles, and a fertilizer contained in a space surrounded by the photodegradable capsule.

The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural planting, in particular to a special controlled-release microbial fertilizer for peanuts in a continuous cropping field and a preparation method thereof. The fabric comprises an outer layer, a middle layer and an inner layer. Through a three-layer structure, the controlled-release fertilizer prepared by the disclosure can realize the fertilizer efficiency period of 50-60 days, and achieves the purpose of twice releases.

Organic chelated zinc coated fertilizer core, methods for their use, and production thereof, are disclosed. The organic chelated zinc coating can contain 0.02 wt. % to 0.5 wt. % or more, based on the total weight of the coated fertilizer, of zinc from the organic chelated zinc. The coating can optionally contain or exclude a binder. An oil based coating can be at least partially positioned between the surface of the fertilizer core and the organic chelated zinc coating.
