Osmocote® Exact Season+’s unique release pattern ensures that sufficient nutrition is available for optimum plant growth during the nursery growth phase. The release of nutrients is adjusted towards the generative plant phase, and then seamlessly matches the plant’s nutritional needs. For pot plants, the customer chain shelf-life is also very important. The smart timing of release leaves enough nutrition for most plants for optimal fertilization both in the supply chain and with the consumer. During this period, Osmocote Exact Season+ continues to provide the plant with professional nutrition for optimal performance.
