How can you be sure Osmocote products release predictably?

0

More than two decades of field research and product development—and the industry’s most stringent quality control standards—virtually guarantee Osmocote releases exactly as promised. Nutrients releasing too fast or not fast enough, can almost always be traced back to one or more of these factors: product selection, rate selection and soil temperature. Nutrient release increases as the soil temperature rises and decreases as soil temperatures cool. Different crops are able to best utilize nutrients only during certain points in their growth cycle. So selecting a coated fertilizer that’s not suitable for the prevailing climate or crop type, or applying the fertilizer at an improper rate, results in nutrients being released when they are not needed. Always carefully consider crop type, feeding habit, length of growing season, timing of application, container size in relation to plant size and irrigation/rainfall.
