THE ULTIMATE PRE PLANT FERTILIZER FOR YOUR TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS
OSMOCOTE PRE PLANT FERTILIZER
Osmocote PrePlant is a handy 1kg pack of pure power Osmocote fertilizer that provides growers with the ability to increase their incremental sales whilst offering a tried, tested and top brand product. Osmocote PrePlant provides the ultimate season long nutritional needs for trees, plants and shrubs providing a cost effective solution for landscapers when planting out. Osmocote PrePlant has a consistent release pattern due to the unique ICL resin coating technology, providing nutrition when the plants need it. The release is determined by the soil temperature; higher temperatures give a faster release and decrease the longevity period; lower temperatures slow down the release and so increase the longevity period.

Osmocote PrePlant contains the ideal NPK and trace element package. This is suitable for the establishment and healthy growth of all plants, trees and shrubs.
