4468 West Lake Circle South Littleton, CO 80123 The “scary” carrot, a short success story! In advertisement from the mid 1950’s we could read for the first time about the new concept “Krilium”. These water soluble polymer proved actually to be able to answer up to its claim of being the most significant improvement in farming techniques since early 1800’s research into plant nutrients. It should be noted that it took almost 150 years for nutrient research to be fully implemented! Without these nutrient additions we would not be able to feed much more than 3-4 billion people on our planet today! We can now instead comfortably sustain an adequate food supply for at least 10 billion people. However this increased food supply is unfortunately uneven distributed around world’s population! This in spite of the disturbing knowledge that we waste well
- ver 50% of everything we grow or catch! In the last 40 years we have come to realize that this success
has come with some significant costs to the environment through “leaching of nutrients pollution” and soil erosion from from our farm land into our water ways for final deposits along our coast lines river deltas. Sadly enough the initial excitement of water soluble bio-degradable polymers did not
- persist. 1950’s material was un-predictable after installation, hard to install and the
