Plantacote Pluss 8M is a controlled release fertilizer, coated with an outstanding tough and resilient polymer coating. Each granule contains all major and trace elements which are necessary for an optimal growth. The nutrients supply coincides with the physiological requirements of the crop over the entire crop cycle of 8 months. The release is based on a natural membrane process which is only controlled by soil temperature. Declared release times refer to an average soil temperature of 21 °C. Higher temperatures accelerate the nutrient release, lower temperatures slow it down. In comparison to slow release fertilizers the release time is unaffected by substrate type, pH, micro-organisms or level of irrigation.
Plantacote Pluss 8M starts to release after 1 - 2 weeks. Due to this specific mechanism the product is very safe to crops; there is no risk of salt stress, even after storage of premixed growing media for up to 1 - 2 weeks.
