Does fertilizer dyeing pollute soil?
10 years ago, there were high-toxic pigments like pyridine, anthraquinone, bis-diazo that are used to dye fertilizer. Nowadays, due to the high cost, high-toxic pigments have been abandoned. Water-soluble fertilizer now is strongly encouraged by the government. The dyestuff we produce has no pollution to soil, on the contrary, it has the effect of soil remediation and upgrading. It is a new-type environmentally friendly product.
Why do we need dyes in fertilizer?
Firstly, different kinds of fertilizer are designed into products in different colors, thus farmers can recognize them by color and find the corresponding formulas to different growth periods.
Secondly, the concentration of diluted fertilizer is hard to recognize without dyes. It can be a misleading to farmers.
Thirdly, many producers add tiny microelement or additives. In this way, they can tell if the mixing effect is ideal from the appearance. In this sense, pigment adding is an indicative means to produce high-quality fertilizer.
