Nutricote 14-13-13 T100

Controlled Release Fertilizer (100 days) Made in Japan

Nutricote is a high quality compound fertilizer that gives precise and controlled release of nutrients. The pliable and resilient coating which is made of a polyolefin type resin talc and nonionic surfactants allows the penetration of water and subsequent release of the fertilizer into the soil. In general, the release rate is directly proportional to the amount of surfactant and talc used and inversely proportional to the amount of resin used.

Each analysis of Nutricote is available in a range of release periods specified by a Type number. A Type 100 means that at a constant soil temperature of 25°C 24 hours a day a Type 100 will release 80% of its nitrogen evenly over a 100-day period.

Why choose Nutricote 14-13-13 T100?

Advanced Polymer Coating: Unlike cheaper sulfur-coated alternatives, Nutricote features a patented resilient resin coating. This ensures a predictable release rate based strictly on temperature, not soil moisture or pH levels, preventing dangerous "nutrient dumping".

Balanced NPK Ratio: The 14-13-13 formula provides a versatile, all-purpose nutrient profile. It supports vigorous foliage (Nitrogen), robust root development (Phosphorus), and overall cellular strength and disease resistance (Potassium).

100-Day Longevity (Type 100): Designed for a three-month feeding cycle, T100 is ideal for the peak growing season, providing continuous nourishment without the need for frequent reapplications.

Root Safety: The ultra-slow release mechanism significantly reduces the risk of root burn, making it the preferred choice for delicate bonsai species and container-grown plants.

Temperature Affects the Rate of Release:

The rate of release of Nutricote is modified by temperature, a higher release rate under high temperatures coinciding with the plant's rate of growth. Nutrient release of Nutricote is not significantly affected by soil moisture, soil type, soil pH or microbial activity in the soil.

Directions for Use:

Nutricote should be applied according to soil or growing media conditions and the specific nutrient requirements of the crop being grown. If the growing media is sandy, loose with good drainage (Low Cation Exchange Capacity), a higher rate of the product should be used. For heavier clay-type soils (High Cation Exchange Capacity), a lower rate of Nutricote should be used.

How to apply Nutricote 14-13-13:

Incorporate into substrate or top-dress.

Caution:

Harmful if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children. Store under cool dry conditions.
