Plastic-coated fertilisers?

Rally?

WTF do we need plastic-coated fertilisers for?

to grow plastic infused plants, of course

Now sit down and eat your plasti-corn. There are children in other countries that have to eat normal corn.

Controlled Release Fertilizers (CRF) are coated with a tiny layer of polymer which allow to release nutrients in a very timely and targeted way to various crops (trees, flowers, some cash crops) and used in closed environments such as potting plants or greenhouses.

So it has its use. Guess we'll need to find an alternative to using polymers now (among a ton of other work).
