About the product
Osmocote 5 is a controlled-release fertiliser for late-spring potting. Its 5th-generation programmed-release technology gives plants sustained, safe and efficient nutrition over 5–6 months.
The OTEA system optimises the availability and uptake of trace elements for the best plant colour, health and growth.
Rates are for unfertilised substrates; these are general recommendations — adjust for greenhouses, tunnels and specific climates. Trial a new rate on a small scale first.
Benefits
- Better, more precise nutrient uptake with NutriMatch-Release technology
- Best nutrient release efficiency
- Ultra-consistent: every bag identical
