Tannin Base Fertilizer

Tannin Base Fertilizer – Sustainable Soil Nutrition & Natural Nematicide

Tannin Base Fertilizer is an organic soil amendment derived from tannin-rich natural materials. It is valued for improving soil fertility, boosting microbial activity, and acting as a natural nematicide against harmful root nematodes. 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly, it is widely used in plantation crops, fruits, vegetables, and floriculture.
