Osmocote Exact's longevities and nutrient release patterns are guaranteed year by year, month by month, bag by bag. You know exactly what you buy and what your plants receive. As a grower, you are in control and can rest assured that the fertilisers will not cause surprises during the season.

What’s in Osmocote, also comes out. Not all fertilisers release trace elements sufficiently, but Osmocote gets each and every element where it needs to act.

Osmocote’s resin coating is resistant against all kinds of plant protection products and wetting agents.

A special process in the production of Osmocote secures the availability of trace elements for your crops, even when pH levels in the growing medium rise during the growth cycle.

Each Osmocote Exact longevity has its own colour for easy recognition. About 4% of the granules in a bag are colour coded according to longevity: red for 3-4 months, brown for 5-6 months, blue for 8-9 months and yellow for 12-14 months. This colour coding system avoids mistakes and makes it easy to tell if the right product has been added to the substrate.

Osmocote Exact granules are uniform in size, which makes them perfect for dibbling with dosage machines. Less abrasion and bruising ensure longer operational times and interferencefree function of the equipment.

Our patented Osmocote coating technology and the use of only the best raw materials ensure even granules and a safe release of fewer nutrients during the first stage of cultivation. Thanks to Osmocote Exact’s low initial release rate it is suitable for numerous cultures, even ones grown in greenhouses or tunnels.

Osmocote Exact has even proved its performance in extremely difficult circumstance. With temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius, Osmocote Exact’s nutrient release remained secure and controlled. The laboratory trials from spring 2000 support the manufacturer’s claims according to a research article on Osmocote’s nutrient release published by the Fachhochschule Osnabrück in Germany. ‘All Osmocote Exact product types release the nutrients gradually and evenly, even in severe temperature fluctuations.
