Osmocote® is environmentally safe and will not burn plants when used as directed. This product contains a unique soil wetting agent to help the soil hold more water.
Osmocote® works with Nature. Osmocote® contains all of the nutrients your plant needs including essential trace elements for a healthier plant.
Soil moisture activates Osmocote® Controlled Release Plant Food but Osmocote® soya bean oil resin coating only releases the plant food in response to soil temperature. Osmocote® controls the release of the plant food ensuring the plant receives nutrition when needed. Osmocote® eliminates fertiliser waste, run-off and leaching.
