Plantacote Top N 8 Month Fertiliser

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Plantacote® Top N 8M is a controlled release fertiliser, coated with an outstanding tough and resilient polymer coating. Each granule contains all major elements which are necessary for an optimal growth. Plantacote® Top N is specifically designed for feeding plants with a high nitrogen demand. The high nitrogen content has its source equally in the plant available forms ammonia and nitric without using urea.

The nutrients supply coincides with the physiological requirements of the crop over the entire cultivation cycle of 8 months. The release is based on a natural membrane process which is only controlled by soil temperature. Declared release times refer to an average soil temperature of 21 °C. Higher temperatures accelerate the nutrient release, lower temperatures slow it down. In comparison to slow release fertilisers the release time is unaffected by substrate type, pH, micro-organisms or level of irrigation. Plantacote® Top N 8M starts to release after 1 - 2 weeks. Due to this specific mechanism the product is very safe to crops; there is no risk of salt stress, even after storage of premixed growing media for up to 1 - 2 weeks.
