Reusable Porous Fertilizer Tube

It was developed for immature rubber plants to maximize fertilizer use efficiency and minimize wastage.

Benefits:
 Only one application per year
 Reduce labour cost associated with fertilizer application by 75%
 Minimize fertilizer wastage and environmental pollution
 Maximize fertilizer use efficiency
 Valuable product from industrial waste material
 No need to weed control in manuring circle because of no regular fertilizer application
