Osmocote
A Compound Fertilizer With Controlled Nutrient Release (Controlled Release Fertilizer)
The nutrients contained in this fertilizer are released slowly and continuously over a long period of time
This is made possible by a special resin-based permeable coating on each fertilizer granule
Illustration Description
- Water vapor or soil moisture penetrates the permeable coating and dissolves the nutrients inside the fertilizer granule
- The dissolved nutrients create osmotic pressure on the coated layer of the granule
- The nutrient solution is then gradually released through diffusion, little by little
Available in 3 formulations:
17 – 11 – 10
13 – 13 – 13
6 – 13 – 25
Advantages:
- Minimizes nutrient loss caused by leaching, especially in tropical regions with high rainfall
- Ensures continuous nutrient availability, so nutrients are readily available when plants need them
- Saves cost, labor, and time, as a single application can supply nutrients for a long period
- Highly suitable for orchid growing media, which typically has high water permeability
- Reduces nutrient loss caused by soil fixation, significantly increasing fertilizer efficiency
- Not affected by soil acidity (pH) and helps reduce environmental pollution
Highly suitable for:
- Nursery and seedling production: such as clove, coffee, cocoa, rubber, oil palm, coconut, tea, and others.
- Industrial crops: clove, coffee, pepper, cocoa, tea, and others
- Vegetable crops: chili, tomato, and others
- Fruit crops: apple, citrus, grape, and others
- Ornamental plants: various types of orchids, roses, begonias, souvenir plants, and others
