Osmocote® Plus Organics
Fruit & Citrus
Good for Your Plants, the Soil and the Environment
Osmocote® has always been a friend of the environment with its unique controlled release formula. The soya bean oil resin coating controls the release of nutrients according to soil temperature. This reduces the amount of fertiliser required, as well as reducing leaching into the environment. It works in harmony with nature to give your plants the nutrients they need, just when they need them. Less in winter and more in active growing periods.
New Osmocote® Plus Organics Also Works to Improve Your Soil Structure and Create Stronger Root Systems:
- The added organic matter such as Composted Manure, Blood & Bone and Gypsum (clay breaker) rejuvenate the soil and encourage beneficial microbial and earthworm activity that improves soil structure. Active micro-organisms reduce the incidence of soil-borne disease and assist in nutrient uptake by plants.
- The inclusion of our own Wetting Agent improves water retention in the soil, allowing plants to thrive with less watering.
Plants will flourish from more effective delivery of moisture and nutrients to their stems and leaves. Osmocote® Plus Organics nurtures plant growth both above and below the ground and by creating a balanced and sustainable growing environment, plants are healthier, stronger and less susceptible to insect attacks and diseases, season after season.
Osmocote® Plus Organics Fruit & Citrus Plant Food gives your plants and soil everything needed to stay healthier for longer. With high Magnesium (Mg) and trace elements to keep leaves green, and fruit full and tasty.
