Controlled release fertilizer
Plantacote Pluss 8M is a controlled release fertilizer with a tough and resilient polymer coating. Each granule contains major nutrients and trace elements designed to support crop needs over an 8-month cycle. 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 and are unaffected by substrate type, pH, micro-organisms, or irrigation levels.
Benefits of Plantacote Pluss 8M :
- ✅ Complete nutrient profile: Contains N, P, K, Mg, S and the full range of trace elements.
- ✅ Durable coating: Ultra safe coating designed to reduce cracking or damage during handling.
- ✅ Uniform formulation: Each granule contains all essential nutrients for balanced supply.
- ✅ Season-long supply: Complete nutrient availability throughout the growing season.
- ✅ Stress tolerance: Formulated to withstand extreme stress conditions.
- ✅ Adjusted release: Extra nitrogen during early growth, extra potassium during later stages.
- ✅ Labour savings: Supports simplified application and planning.
How Plantacote Pluss 8M works
Plantacote Pluss 8M begins releasing nutrients after 1–2 weeks. The membrane-controlled release pattern is influenced only by soil temperature, helping manage nutrient availability in line with crop needs over the entire 8-month cycle. This design also reduces 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 9-10 months
20/21°C 8-9 months
26/27°C 6-7 months
