Note: The official product name is Earthfoods Nitro-Organic Fertilizer.
In modern agriculture, we have long faced a fundamental dilemma:
To achieve higher yields, large amounts of chemical fertilizers (such as urea) are applied, yet this often results in soil compaction and acidification, along with a decline in crop disease resistance.
To restore and maintain soil health, organic fertilizers are used—but their nutrient release is often too slow to meet the immediate demands of crop growth.
What if there were a third path?
KhaiEL Germany with our core technology, Earth Foods RIMA™ (Resilient Indigenous Microorganism Activator), are breaking this long-standing deadlock. Supported by one year of soil-tracking data from Sinochem Fertilizer, a subsidiary of China’s state-owned giant Sinochem Group, together with the latest product evaluations conducted by Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), Malaysia, we are witnessing the emergence of a new category: bio-intelligent fertilizer.
This is no longer just fertilization—it is a soil-awakening revolution.
Part I: Field Evidence from Sinochem Group — What Happened to the Soil After One Year?
To validate the real-world performance of RIMA technology, Sinochem Commercial commissioned a one-year, controlled comparative field trial.
Two fertilizer treatments with identical chemical formulations (NPK + organic matter) were applied. The only difference was that:
T Group (treatment) incorporated the RIMA process
CK Group (control) did not include RIMA
After one year, soil microbial gene sequencing and chemical analyses revealed striking differences.
1. Rebuilding the Soil Immune System: A Built-In “Biological Shield”
Conventional wisdom suggests that excessive nitrogen fertilization increases disease pressure. However, soils treated with RIMA demonstrated a remarkably strong biological immunity.
Beneficial microbes flourished: Bacillus—often referred to as “golden microbes” in agriculture—rose to 25.5% abundance, compared with only 19.9% in the control group. These bacteria are known to produce natural antibiotics and enhance root vigor.
Pathogens were effectively suppressed: Potentially harmful Rhodococcus populations were reduced by 94%, while Mucor, a major cause of root rot, was nearly eliminated—dropping from 3.9% to just 0.1%.
Conclusion: RIMA transformed soil from a pathogen breeding ground into a beneficial microbe factory.
2. Building an Intelligent Nutrient Bank: Locking Nutrients, Preventing Loss
Despite identical nutrient inputs, the nutrient reserves in RIMA-treated soils were significantly higher after one year:
Available Potassium (K): +122%
Total Phosphorus (P): +54%
Total Nitrogen (N): +24%
This was not due to reduced plant uptake, but rather to the increased presence of nutrient-cycling microorganisms:
Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria: +15%
Potassium-solubilizing bacteria: +12%
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria: +24%
These microbes effectively lock inorganic nutrients into the soil ecosystem, reducing leaching losses and keeping nutrients readily available for crops when needed.
Part II: BioUrea — Solving a Century-Old Problem of Conventional Urea
Built upon RIMA technology, KhaiEL introduced the revolutionary BioUrea, formulated as 40% nitrogen + 60% organic matter.
A common question arises: “Traditional urea contains 46% nitrogen, while BioUrea has only 40%. Isn’t that a loss?”
According to the UTAR University 2025 final research report, the answer is clear: you gain more, not less.
1. Precision Nitrogen Retention: 30% Higher Utilization
The greatest weakness of conventional urea is volatilization—once applied, a large portion rapidly converts into ammonia gas and escapes into the atmosphere.
UTAR laboratory data confirmed that BioUrea reduces ammonia volatilization losses by 25–35%.
In addition, nitrate leaching was significantly reduced. As a result, although the labeled nitrogen content is 6% lower, the actual nitrogen absorbed by crops increases by 20–30%.
2. Controlled Release: Less Labor, Greater Efficiency
BioUrea exhibits a unique Controlled Hydrolysis behavior. Unlike conventional urea, which releases nitrogen in a sudden surge (often causing root burn and excessive vegetative growth), BioUrea delivers nutrients in a stable, sustained release curve.
This allows farmers to reduce top-dressing frequency, achieving lower input, fewer applications, and higher efficiency.
Part III: Why This Matters to You
Whether you are a large-scale grower, distributor, or ESG-focused investor, RIMA technology and BioUrea present a compelling new value proposition:
Lower costs: Higher nutrient efficiency means up to 20% lower fertilizer usage or reduced labor costs from fewer applications.
Reduced pesticide dependency: A biologically resilient soil suppresses soil-borne diseases such as root rot and wilt, lowering fungicide expenses.
Environmental responsibility: Reduced ammonia emissions and groundwater contamination align with global green agriculture and carbon-neutral goals.
Soil regeneration: With 60% organic matter as a carrier combined with RIMA-activated microbiology, fertilization becomes soil restoration.
Conclusion: From “Consumption” to “Asset”
Traditional agriculture treats fertilizer as a consumable—used once and gone.
RIMA technology transforms fertilizer into an asset.
When BioUrea is applied, you are not merely feeding crops—you are investing in the future of your soil, building a high-yielding, disease-resistant, self-regenerating ecosystem.
The data speaks for itself. It is time to move beyond dead soil and embrace the era of bio-intelligent fertilizers.
