CoteX Technologies and Nutrien are exploring the joint commercialization of a coating technology to produce an affordable, environmentally-friendly nitrogen fertilizer solution for large acreage crops in North America.
CoteX Technologies, a startup located in Nova Scotia, has developed a low-cost, customizable controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) coating that minimizes environmental impact. Their biodegradable coating allows fertilizer to be slowly released into the soil over time, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and eliminating potential residual material.
CoteX CEO Santosh Yadav said this agreement is a big step forward for the global agriculture industry.
“We are thrilled to partner with Nutrien to explore the application of our product and the impact for the market,” Yadav said. “Our coating process is lower cost and more versatile than liquid coating and it’s environmentally friendly. Adoption of our technology helps minimize the loss of nitrogen into the environment.”
