Bentomix™ GF
Bentomix™ GF is an advanced controlled-release granular fertilizer technology developed to solve one of agriculture's most persistent challenges: nutrient loss between application and plant uptake. By controlling the rate at which nutrients become available throughout the crop cycle, Bentomix™ GF ensures that nutrients reach the plant according to demand — reducing losses, cutting reapplication frequency, and contributing to more sustainable fertilization practices.
Its specific mineral composition and coating mechanism deliver consistent performance even under variations in humidity and temperature, making it suitable for intensive crop management in diverse climate conditions.
Product Information
- Controlled nutrient release
Bentomix™ GF regulates the gradual and precise supply of nutrients during the plant growth stage, aligning nutrient availability with crop demand and reducing the risk of excess application.
- Reduction of ammonia volatilization and environmental losses
One of the most significant advantages of slow-release fertilizer technology is the reduction of ammonia volatilization — a major source of nitrogen loss and environmental impact. Bentomix™ GF minimizes these losses, improving both agronomic efficiency and environmental outcomes.
- Improved fertilizer use efficiency
The extended nutrient release profile reduces the need for repeated applications, lowering operational costs and labor requirements across the crop cycle.
- Enhanced compatibility and handling
Bentomix™ GF is compatible with a wide range of granule types and is formulated to reduce dust formation, facilitating safe and efficient handling throughout logistics and application.
- Robust performance under diverse climate conditions
Whether in high-humidity tropical environments or regions with marked temperature variation, Bentomix™ GF delivers consistent, predictable performance.
Bentomix™ GF controlled-release technology is recommended for:
· Slow-release fertilizer formulations for crops that benefit from gradual nutrient availability, including grains (corn, soybeans, wheat), vegetables, and perennial crops (sugarcane, coffee, eucalyptus).
· Sustainable plant nutrition programs focused on reducing volatilization losses and maximizing fertilizer use efficiency.
· Intensive crop management systems where reducing reapplication frequency directly impacts operational costs.
· Formulations requiring robust performance under variable humidity and temperature conditions.
Q: How does Bentomix™ GF control nutrient release?
A: Bentomix™ GF uses a specific mineral composition and coating mechanism that regulates the rate of nutrient diffusion from the granule. This controls how quickly nutrients become available in the soil, matching release to crop demand regardless of rainfall or irrigation variability.
Q: What is the difference between Bentomix™ GF and conventional granular fertilizers?
A: Conventional granular fertilizers release nutrients rapidly after application, which can lead to losses through volatilization, leaching, or runoff before the plant can absorb them. Bentomix™ GF's controlled-release mechanism extends the nutrient availability window, reducing losses and improving efficiency.
Q: Is Bentomix™ GF suitable for tropical climates?
A: Yes. Bentomix™ GF is specifically engineered to maintain consistent performance under high humidity and elevated temperatures — conditions common in tropical agricultural regions where nutrient loss risk is highest.
Q: What types of granules is Bentomix™ GF compatible with?
A: Bentomix™ GF is compatible with various granule types used in commercial fertilizer production and is formulated to reduce dust formation, ensuring ease of handling and blending.
