Controlled release fertilizer
Plantacote Pluss 2M is a controlled release fertilizer with a tough and resilient polymer coating. Each granule contains major and trace elements for consistent nutrient supply over a growing cycle of approximately 2 months. Nutrient release is governed by a natural membrane process controlled by soil temperature. Higher temperatures speed up release, while lower temperatures slow it down. Declared release times refer to an average soil temperature of 21 °C.
Benefits of Plantacote Pluss 2M :
- ✅ Complete formulation: Homogenous product with all essential nutrients (NPK + trace elements).
- ✅ Consistent release: Regular and continuous nutrient supply over the declared period.
- ✅ Specialized design: Especially suited for short bedding plants and young plant production.
- ✅ Efficient use: Supports high nutrient use efficiency.
- ✅ Environmental consideration: Reduction of volatilization and run-off.
- ✅ Durable coating: No risk of cracks or breaks during handling and mixing.
- ✅ Quality control: Strict production standards ensure consistent quality in each bag.
- ✅ Labour savings: Reduces labour and nutrient input needs.
How Plantacote Pluss 2M Works
Plantacote Pluss 2M begins releasing nutrients after 1–2 weeks. The membrane-controlled release mechanism is influenced only by soil temperature and is unaffected by substrate type, pH, micro-organisms, or irrigation levels. This release pattern is designed to help manage nutrient availability while reducing the risk of salt stress, even in premixed growing media stored for up to 1–2 weeks.
Longevity depends on temperature:
Average soil temp Longevity
15/16°C 2-3 months
20/21°C 2 months
26/27°C 1-2 months
