The advanced Fusion technology in Osmocote Blend 19-6-9 5-6 mo. binds the nutrient cores to the growing media, keeping them in place if the pot is tipped.
N-P-K: 19-6-9
This is intended to be topdressed in arc-shaped piles on the surface of the media away from the plant's stem. Putting it on in a thicker pile, helps the Fusion Technology® bind the fertilizer to the surface. The intended use is on trees that have been grown in the pot for a while, so the media is filled with roots and is stable. The fertilizer portion is formulated to give the plant a quick boost after application to get the plant growing in the second season of growth. The resin-coated portion will then kick in and feed for 5-6 months.
Specially developed for surface applications in container nursery stock
Benefits

How To Use
1. Verify product analysis, longevity, and rate for plants in your production system (for assistance, contact your regional ICL Territory Manager or call ICL Customer Service at 800-492-8255)
2. Consult rate tables printed on bag labels and product sheets
3. For Fusion top-dress applications, pile fertilizer in a comma shape away from the plant stem. Spreading it out over the surface will result in less adhesion.
4. Irrigate after application (irrigation frequency and volume should be adjusted during the crop production cycle according to crop type, environmental conditions, and desired soluble salt levels)
5. A product trial is recommended before adopting a new fertilizer program or making full-scale changes to standard cultural practices (test several rates on representative plant types)
6. Use caution when applying to plants being over-wintered under cover (if you can't monitor soluble salts and/or adjust irrigation practices, avoid Fall and Winter applications
7. Store in a clean, cool, dry place
