Controlled release fertilizer
Plantacote Pluss 16M is a coated controlled release fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and trace elements in every granule. This allows for an even supply of nutrients over approximately 16 months. The nutrients are released through a natural membrane process influenced by soil temperature. Higher temperatures speed up release, while lower temperatures slow it down. Release times refer to an average soil temperature of 21 °C.
Benefits of Plantacote Pluss 16M
- ✅ Complete formulation: Each granule contains all essential nutrients.
- ✅ Season-long supply: Provides nutrient availability throughout the growing season.
- ✅ No additional supplements: No trace element supplements are necessary.
- ✅ Iron content: High iron level with 50% as Fe-EDTA for availability.
- ✅ Labour saving: Supports simplified nutrient planning and application.
- ✅ Adjusted nutrient release: Extra nitrogen during early growth and extra potassium during later stages.
How Plantacote Pluss 16M Works
Plantacote Pluss 16M starts to release nutrients after 2–3 weeks. The membrane-controlled release process is designed to help manage nutrient availability over the crop cycle while reducing the risk of salt stress, even in stored premixed growing media for up to 2–3 weeks. The release of nitrogen is most pronounced during crop establishment, while potassium release is higher in later growth stages.
