Caged-Urea Nitrogen Fertilizer
Urea designed to reduce nitrate pollution of waters
Caged-urea has a unique structure in which urea is trapped within a polyphosphate molecular cage & the cage itself is plant food

Urea is like the cherries inside this cake
Contains 100% plant food
•No toxic residues in soil.
•Nothing that will degrade into polluting substances
One time application
How does Caged-Urea work?

The polyphosphate cage dissolves in these root exudates and is taken up by the plant
Dissolution of the cage releases urea- urea is taken up by the plant
Nutrient release is controlled by the plant itself
Plant roots release biochemicals into the soil
Field trial results with caged-urea

Corn yield increases 21% with caged-urea at 72 kg/ha N over urea at 1520 kg/ha N


Potato yield increases by 4.1% with caged-urea at 120 kg/ha N vs urea at 120 kg/ha N
Rice yield increases by 16% with caged-urea at 120 kg/ha N over urea at 150 kg/ha N
Environmental benefits



Reduction in ammonia evolution
Reduction in nitrate leaching
Reduction in nitrous oxide evolution
