Osmocote Blend 12-6-8 Topdress with E-Max polymer coating regulates the release of nutrition based upon moisture and temperature, improving nutrient efficiency and offering predictable longevities. Ideally suited for outdoor production, it provides fast green-up for overwintered plants.

  • Soluble nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium provide quick green-up after application

  • Optimally efficient use of nutrients results in reduced input cost

  • Reduces leaching, volatilization and other forms of nutrient losses

  • STEP Hi-Mag micronutrients ensure maximum growth in all conditions

  • Provides a safe and consistent source of nutrition for short-term applications

1
Verify product analysis, longevity, and rate for plants in your production system (for assistance, contact your regional ICL Territory Manager or call ICL Customer Service at 800-492-8255)
2
Consult rate tables printed on bag labels and product sheets
3
For top-dress applications, spread fertilizer evenly on container surface (avoid piling fertilizer directly against plant stem)
4
Irrigate after application (irrigation frequency and volume should be adjusted during the crop production cycle according to crop type, environmental conditions, and desired soluble salt levels)
5
A product trial is recommended before adopting a new fertilizer program or making full-scale changes to standard cultural practices (test several rates on representative plant types)
6
Use caution when applying to plants being over-wintered under cover (if you can't monitor soluble salts and/or adjust irrigation practices, avoid Fall and Winter applications
7
Store in a clean, cool, dry place
