Key Benefits of Plantacote
•
The release time is not affected by substrate type, pH, microorganisms, level of irrigation or soil moisture.
•
Plantacote starts to release after 2-3 weeks. Due to this specific mechanism the product is very safe to crops.
•
Low risk of salt stress, even after storage of pre-mixed growing media for up to 2-3 weeks. Release of nutrients from Plantacote is attuned to the physiological requirements of the crop.
•
Ultra-safe coating: The tough elastic polymer coating reduces mechanical damage during mixing and ensures crop safety during periods of frost and hot weather.
