Basacote® Starter 6M 16-25-6(+2)

1 of 19 products in this brand
Basacote® Starter 6M is a controlled-release NPK complex fertilizer fully coated. For depot fertilization of crops with high P demand such as forestry plants (eucalyptus, pinus, …). The elastic polymer coating ensures an even nutrient release for 6 months. The climate-adapted release (CAR) technology is linked to ambient temperature and guarantees nutrient availability according to individual plant requirements. The coating and release rates are not affected by soil properties such as pH, microbial activity or salinity. Mixing into substrate is recommended directly before use (maximum storage time: 10 days). The product lasts 6 months under temperate conditions and constant temperature of 21 °C.
