COMPO EXPERT For substrate mixtures, horticulture, tree nurseries and plant hole fertilization

Granules are coated with an elastic polymer. The Basacote® technology ■■ Each fertilizer prill is evenly coated with an elastic polymer that controls water penetration and thus the dissolution of nutrients inside the coating. ■■ After application, moisture slowly penetrates through the pores of the coating, dissolving the nutrients which then dissipate into the soil by osmosis and diffusion. The coating thickness determines the rate at which water can absorb into the granule, and the rate at which nutrients can diffuse out. ■■ The coating ensures a controlled nutrient release over 3, 6, 9, 12...

Long-term and efficient nutrient supply with Basacote® Basacote® is a fully coated complex NPK-fertilizer containing magnesium, sulphur and a complete set of trace elements. It is designed to ensure a long-term and consistent nutrient supply for up to 16 months. For the application in substrate mixtures, horticulture, tree nurseries and plant hole fertilization. Key benefits of Basacote® ■■ Uniform (screened) granule size ■■ Homogenous release of macronutrients ■■ Nutrient release is dependent on ambient temperature ■■ Placement of micronutrients just below the coating (CAR-Technology) Frost...

■ 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, salinity etc. ■ These characteristics prevent nutrient dumping and associated seedling mortality that is often experienced when fertilizers with inferior and brittle coatings are used.

Basacote® in plant hole fertilization Nothofagus dombeyi, Chile of soil as buffer in between. It can be applied directly at planting so no second pass is required saving application costs and labour inputs. It only fertilizes the target tree not the surrounding weeds. It uses low amounts of fertilizer by weight thus reducing freight and handling costs. The early spike in growth helps trees to overcome weed, pest and grazing pressure. Trace elements in Basacote® overcome micronutrient deficiencies and help trees tolerate stress. Controlled release properties mean less chance for leaching and nutrient...
