Tribiotic-coated urea for enhanced nutrient use efficiency

Technology
In development
Company

TriBiotic is a biotic layering complex that enhances nutrient use efficiency when coated on urea. It improves nitrogen fixation, reduces volatilization, and stabilizes nutrients, offering up to 18X ROI and reducing synthetic nitrogen use by 20% without yield loss.

Overview

TriBiotic is an innovative biotic layering complex designed to significantly improve nutrient use efficiency when applied to urea or other dry fertilizers. By integrating prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, TriBiotic enhances nitrogen fixation, reduces volatilization and leaching, and stabilizes nitrogen within microbial biomass. This results in optimized plant metabolism and growth, providing a sustainable solution to nitrogen management challenges.

Technical specifications

Key features:

  • Biotic layering complex: Combines prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics for enhanced nutrient bioavailability.
  • Microbial enhancement: Utilizes aerobic, thermophilic, and heterotrophic microbes upcycled from chicken manure.
  • Nutrient stabilization: Stabilizes nitrogen in microbial biomass, reducing leaching and volatilization.
  • Improved nutrient efficiency: Demonstrated improvements in nutrient efficiency by up to 19%, offering up to 18X ROI for growers.
  • Sustainable nitrogen management: Reduces synthetic nitrogen use by 20% without yield loss and boosts soil carbon.
Technology readiness level

TriBiotic is currently at Technology Readiness Level 6, with ongoing formulation and application optimization. Phase I focuses on optimizing the fertilizer coating system, Phase II involves application optimization and scale-up through greenhouse and field trials, and Phase III aims at commercialization, including farmer-led strip trials and regulatory compliance.


About EnviroKure

EnviroKure develops and commercializes patented, aqueous composting technology that transforms raw chicken manure into liquid biostimulants and biofertilizers. The company’s process upcycles organic waste into a product containing plant-available nutrients, microbial compounds, and beneficial bacteria. By extracting these components, EnviroKure creates solutions that support plant growth, improve soil health, and mitigate abiotic stresses, providing an alternative to traditional chemical fertilizers in various agricultural systems including organic and conventional farming.

These products are designed to enhance crop yields, improve nutrient acquisition, and increase plant resiliency, offering farmers a sustainable input for both soil and foliar applications. By converting large-scale poultry production waste into high-quality agricultural inputs, the company addresses the challenge of manure over-abundance while supporting the growing demand for organic food production. EnviroKure's products, such as its foundation BioStim line and the PhylloZone foliar fertilizer, are used to boost soil microbial activity and promote healthier crops across diverse growing regions and cropping systems.
