How Tnue’s Controlled Release Membrane (CRM) nutrient use efficiency technology works
Maximise The Performance of Your Nitrogen
Tnue control release membrane (CRM) technology uses a flexible, membrane to encapsulate an N granule. The membrane shields the N from loss mechanisms, releasing it when the plant needs it most.
​​​
The membrane tailored for New Zealand conditions releases N based on the two requirements for plant growth: moisture and temperature. Moisture creates an N solution inside the membrane, and the solution moves through the membrane at a rate based on soil temperature. The movement and rate match the N demand of the growing plant. Tnue Smartfert® delivers superior performance with release control across temperature and moisture variations.

Tnue CRM Technology Controlled Release Benefits
Wet Conditions:
Resilient to heavy rail fall events reducing leaching.
Dry Conditions:
Nitrogen (N) is conserved until enough moisture is available.
Autumn Application:
Delays release on cold or frozen soil.
Wider application window:
Tnue Smartfert® provides a wider application window in both the spring and the autumn, allowing you to apply fertiliser on your schedule and better manage your kg N per ha.
​
Convenient to use and saves time:
Tnue Smartfert® is requires less frequent applications giving you time back to attend to other important task in a time poor day. Tnue CRM technology is a smarter way to grow.
​
Environmentally responsible:
Tnue Smartfert® reduces N loss, providing benefits to the environment.
