Quality ingredients and consistent release ensure superior performance, season after season
Osmocote controlled release fertilizer packs an abundance of technology inside a resin coated NPK nutrient core that reliably delivers vital nutrition throughout the growth cycle of the plant. Since 1966, it has been continuously trialed, refined, and improved as new research and technologies became available. Today, it’s the most scientifically advanced and widely used controlled release fertilizer in the world, with a diverse product range known and trusted by professional growers worldwide.
How it works
After irrigation, water penetrates the semi-permeable coating and starts to dissolve the nutrients. Once partially dissolved the release begins, regulated by ambient temperature and self-synchronizing to the plant’s growth cycle. Exactly the right amount of nutrients are released—at exactly the right time.
Benefits of controlled release fertilizer
- Controlled nutrient delivery promotes compact, uniform growth and rich color
- Fewer fertilizer applications are needed, resulting in lower labor costs
- Higher efficiency due to reduced nutrient loss
- Specialized formulations for every application
- Minimized environmental impact due to reduced volatilization, denitrification and leaching
Healthy growth means healthy profit
The costs associated with a fertilization program are a major consideration every grower is faced with. Over the course of a season, Osmocote will cut labor expenses while producing a superior product that demands a higher price at the point of sale. The guesswork is eliminated, and you gain the peace of mind that comes from using the most proven controlled release products available.
