Root protectant based on Terracottem

 2016.12.26.

Root protectant based on Terracottem, which had been developed at Faculty of Chemistry of Kim Il Sung University, is effective for providing 100% survival ratio when a variety of nursery stocks are planted.

Terracottem was synthesized in our manner with raw materials of our country, and its chemical structure and purity were identified by modern UPLC-MS, FT-IR analysis.

Safety on its use was guaranteed by experiments on toxicity proceeded in relation with the skillful research teams of Faculty of Life Science, Kim Il Sung University and Academy of Forest.

Its usage and effectiveness were tested through many experiments for several years at Central Nursery Garden, and it contributed to restore the forests.

Terracottem is acrylic super absorption polymer, its capacity of water absorption is very large, so that it can prevent drying of plant`s root and invasion of harmful insect and improve the survival ratio.

National Science Technology Success Certificate (2015), Advanced Product Certificate and Inventor Certificate (2016) were afforded to this success, and it was highly appraised in many science and technology festivals and seminars of our country.

We would do all our efforts to develop new root protectant which is more effective and easy to use, so contribute to restore the forests upholding the slogan of breaking through the cutting edge technology.
