Important: Maximum recommended starter fertiliser dosage in the growing medium is 0.5 kg/m3. Rates for Osmocote 5 are based on pot volumes. In case of repotting into bigger pots, dilution effect should be compensated by increasing dosage rate in fresh growing medium. For plant-specific recommendations please consult your ICL advisor. The recommended rates above are based on unfertilised substrates. These are general recommendations. Adjust for specific situations, such as use in tunnels or greenhouses, or specific climate conditions. This product is not recommended for dibbling and/or autumn/winter potting. Contact your local distributor or local Technical Area Sales Manager for more detailed advice. Trial first on a small scale before changing the rate, application, or any other variables. As circumstances can differ and as the application of our products is beyond our control, ICL cannot be held responsible for any adverse results.
