Why Fertilizer should be Tablet Form ?

Of the 1990s, soil chemists, agricultural machinery and started research for efforts to overcome the excesses sole use of fertilizers ( Urea, SP and KCL),common practice of farmers. Form of single fertilizers sown in the garden, mostly carried by the flow of water ( especially when it rains) , yawning ( chemical fertilizer that easily evaporate when exposed to hot sun) and the granules are sprinkled often are beyond the mouth of the plant roots. A research institute reported that 70 percent of the fertilizer form of sow ( prilled) are not consumed by plants and chemical waste polluting waste into the environment. In the procurement was often troubled by the frequency of different types of fertilizer are needed not simultaneously available on the market, whereas plants require a specific schedule in receiving urea ( when the growth / vegetative), SP ( when primordia and development of the stem) and KCL-time of flowering or the formation of fruit. Based on the concerns that we started making compound fertilizer ( nutrient content of 13 elements include NPK, Mg- S- Ca and micro elements) and are presented in the form of tablets ( 3 and 10 grams / tablet) . Fertilization is intended to replace the lost nutrients carried by harvest, evaporation ( volatilization), leaching by ground water, the binding of another chemical in the soil ( fixation) , and so forth.

Complete compound fertilizer flexible formula have ingredient such as macro nutrient like Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), and enrichment by secondary nutrient Magnecium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Sulphur (S) and also micro nutrient essential as copper (Co), Chlor (Cl), Manganese (Mn), zinc (Ze), boron (Bo), Molybdenum (Bo), iron. For Chlor-free compound for individual use, in tablets form. Produce by PT. Sinar kencana have been launced since 1994. Farmer do not need any other fertilizer usually using such as Urea (N), Phosphorus (SP) or Potassium (K), Gramalet fertilizer have contained all nutrient that plant needed. So, Gramalet made fertilizing easy.

The quality standards of the Gramalet among others:

1). nutrient fertilizer containing at least 3 primary macro nutrients ( Nitrogen, Phosfat / K2O5 and Potassium K2O / NPK) , secondary macro nutrients ( magnesium or Kieserite / Mg, Sulfur / S and Calcium / Ca) and micro essential nutrient ( Fe, Cu, Zn, B, Bo, and molybdate / Mo) ,

2) . tablet form - the result of the integration of physics at a certain pressure / cm 2 so that the unification of nutrients is solid and compact,

3) are presented from selected raw materials such as urea, Super phosfat ( SP) and KCL and the sources of Mg and Ca from Kieserite ( MgCaO) Ex China or Germany - which has advantages such as the level of water soluble ( solubility in water that absorbed by plants) is high and guaranteed not to be bound in a chelate compound ( which protects nutrients from water absorption) .

4) . contains important micro nutrient elements - including Mo ( molibdium) .

The function of Mo in plants is to enable the enzyme nitrogenase, nitrate reductase and xantine oxidase. Symptoms that arise because of lack of Mo deficiency nearly resembles N. Mo deficiency can inhibit plant growth, leaves become pale and die and flower formation of late. Mo deficiency symptoms starting from the leaves of the middle and lower leaves. The leaves become dry kelayuan, leaf curl and leaf edges are generally narrow. If severe deficiency, the lamina is only formed a little so that leaves bones look more dominant.

5) flexible formula complete fertilizer tablet ( PMLT) Formulation Gramalet has a composition of NPK, MgSCa + Micro and using packaging specifications as follows:

a) packaging in the ( inner packing) : Plastic PE 0, 8-1, waterproof packaging and air, the capacity of 5 kg ( gross weight) ,

b) The outer packaging ( outer packing) made out of cardboard D / W: a) Size: ( 360 x 355 x 263) mm b) Type of cardboard: K 200 / 150 / K200, c) Capacity: 20 Kg.

With a low dose and packaging, as these specifications ensure the transport, storage and handling of transportation to the garden or between regions, including the handling at the port becomes more secure, inexpensive and easy.

Gramalet ® tablets manufactured by the order ( flexible) , which is based on the condition of land fertility and crop types of customers. With the macro-nutrient content consists of primary ( NPK) , secondary nutrient ( Mg, S, Ca) and micro-essential ( Fe, Zn, Mo, B, Bo, Cl) , then, is categorized as a fertilizer compound fertilizer complete. Gramalet Customers do not need to provide additional nutrients other fertilizers such as Urea, SP and KCL.

Presented in the form of tablets 10 grams and 3 grams with packaging @ 5 kg / plastic PE 1 mm and each plastic is inserted into the carton to 20 kg / carton. The size and type of packaging ensures product durability up to 2 years in addition, greatly facilitates the application of fertilizer in the garden or field because of the transportation and storage of fertilizer to be practical and efficient. This fertilizer has received Registration Number Ministry of Agriculture and also has a certificate and sign standards.

Complete compound fertilizer formulation Gramalet® is a fertilizer with a nutrient composition is formulated and manufactured in a flexible tailored to the type of crop and soil fertility conditions of the customer. nutrient composition was calculated based on network analysis and leaves the state each kind of plant nutrient needs.
