Details

Directions:  

  • Verify product analysis, longevity and rate for plants in your production system (for assistance, contact your regional ICL-SF Territory Manager or call ICL-SF Customer Service at 800-492-8255)
  • Consult rate tables printed on bag labels and product sheets
  • For incorporation, blend into growing media to ensure uniform distribution of cores
  • Do not over-mix (doing so could damage fertilizer coating)
  • Growing media should be used within two to four weeks after incorporating fertilizer
  • For top-dress applications, spread fertilizer evenly on container surface (avoid piling fertilizer directly against plant stem)
  • 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)
  • 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)
  • 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
  • Store in a clean, cool, dry place

*See label for complete application instructions.

    Great for landscaping and shrubs!

    By Arobinson on 09/29/2023

    I've adopted a 2x a year fert program for my trees and shrubs and this product is a key part of it. I do a light application of 0-20-20 late summer/early fall and then late Feb do an application of slow release Osmocote. The plants are much healthier and I have had fewer issues with disease and insects since adopting this regimen.
