UREAZ

The core breakthrough of UreaZ lies in its **BNFF technology (US Patented)**. Instead of a simple physical mixture, UreaZ creates a carbon-rich acidic micro-environment immediately surrounding the fertilizer granule at the root zone. This localized pH shift prevents the precipitation of Zinc, allowing it to remain in a liquid phase that is readily absorbed by root hairs.

Because the Zinc is bioactive and protected, UreaZ achieves superior results with a **12-fold reduction in total Zinc loading** compared to conventional fertilizers. This efficiency ensures that the crop receives a steady supply of Zinc from the vegetative to the reproductive stages, optimizing the plant's internal enzymatic pathways for Nitrogen metabolism.

Each individual urea granule in UreaZ undergoes a unique mechanical and organic bonding process known as **Surface Bio-Coating (BCT)**. This applies a non-migrating, temperature-resistant bio-polymer membrane that encapsulates the Nitrogen core alongside bioactive nutrients and microbes.

The BCT layer serves two critical functions: first, it prevents the "segregation effect" during transportation, ensuring a uniform nutrient-to-microbe ratio across the field. Second, it acts as a physical urease inhibitor, slowing down the immediate hydrolysis of urea. This significantly reduces Nitrogen volatilization and leaching, effectively making UreaZ a climate-smart solution that protects both the crop's yield and the environment.

The presence of Zinc in a bioactive form is critical for chlorophyll synthesis and chloroplast development. Trial data from the **Institute of Soil and Environmental Sciences (UAF)** shows that crops treated with UreaZ exhibit significantly higher SPAD values (a measure of chlorophyll content) compared to standard urea.

This results in the **"Stay-Green" effect**, where the crop remains photosynthetically active longer into the ripening stage. This extended photosynthesis ensures maximum grain filling and higher test weights, particularly in Wheat and Rice, where late-season nutrient availability is often the limiting factor for yield.

Zinc deficiency is not just a crop problem; it is a public health crisis. In Pakistan, over **40% of children and women suffer from Zinc deficiency**, leading to stunted growth and weakened immune systems. Since cereals are the primary source of calories, fortifying the grain itself is the most sustainable solution.

Bio-activated UreaZ increases Zinc concentration in wheat grains by **up to 171%**. By improving the nutritional density of the final harvest, UreaZ moves beyond commercial farming—it becomes a tool for national health and bio-fortification.
