Hepule S

Side-dressing requires fertilizer placed in the root zone at transplanting that then releases steadily over a long period. HERMEN Hepule S (NPK 30-10-10) uses HT micro-ion graphene 100% full-coating controlled-release technology, purpose-built for modern mechanical side-dressing so transplanting and fertilizing happen in one pass, with a release curve matched to the crop’s uptake peaks.

With quick-release high-nitrogen fertilizer there is a genuine risk, because the fertilizer sits close to seedling roots. Hepule S uses 100% full-coating controlled-release technology, so nutrients pass through the coating gradually and root-zone concentration does not spike after application, making it suitable as a side-dressing. Application rates should still follow local soil fertility and practice.

Three things matter: coating integrity, whether the release curve matches the crop’s uptake peaks, and whether granule specification suits mechanical placement. Hepule S is a 100% fully coated controlled-release fertilizer with a release rhythm designed around rice growth stages and granule specifications suited to mechanical side-dressing.

Conventional practice requires separate basal, tillering and panicle applications, which is costly in labor and time. A controlled-release side-dressing formula is applied once at transplanting, with the coating metering nutrients across the season and greatly reducing later topdressing. Hepule S is built for exactly this.

Early in the first crop, temperatures are low and root activity limited, so quick-release basal fertilizer is used inefficiently and runs out later. A controlled-release basal formula releases progressively as temperatures rise and growth advances. Applied by side-dressing at transplanting, Hepule S covers the main demand stages from tillering onward.
