Impact for a sustainable future

Topdressing solutions for all situations ICL has a full Topdressing range of fertilisers which are here to help you supplement your plants’ additional needs for all times of the year.

February onwards For plants you weren’t expecting to carry over from last season, the chances are the original nutrition programme may be running out of steam, and be in need of a nutrient top up, with the emphasis being on a high nitrogen ratio.

Use Osmocote Topdress FT or OsmoTop depending on the longevity required. Alternatively use Osmocote Bloom with a higher potassium ratio to green up whilst maintaining compact growth and flowering; Bloom works particularly well with perennials.

Don’t forget plants bought in, particularly from abroad, as some European growers use less controlled release fertilisers, topping up with water-soluble products. Plants are therefore more likely to run out of nutrition in the spring, particularly if you are growing them on outside as seasonal rainfall can wash nutrients away.

Osmocote Topdress FT sticks to the growing media so there's no loss of granule if the pot is blown over

September onwards For stock going in to winter, whether it’s mild or cold, growers will still need to maintain a suitable level of feed for evergreen plants whether growing outdoors or under protection. As the emphasis changes from growth to hardening up plants, the change from high nitrogen to high potassium feeds, such as Osmocote Bloom, is very important.

FT Osmocote Bloom is a topdress for compact growth and flowering. It contains NPK, magnesium and all necessary elements, it is 100% coated and has a pre-defined longevity.

During late summer many vigorous crops have achieved their saleable sizes but still need a boost to maintain leaf colour and plant quality. A controlled release fertiliser at this time of year is much more efficient than a water soluble fertiliser due to the frequent irrigation cycles leaching uncontrolled fertilisers.

Advantages of Osmocote Bloom • NPK ratio of 2:1:3 is perfect for condensed growth • Lower fertiliser inputs so environmentally friendly • Easy to use, at full rates no need for water soluble fertilisers • Full trace element package and elevated trace element level

With the risks of cold weather approaching applying a high potassium feed like Osmocote Bloom 2-3m now, will help green up foliage but will not encourage soft growth and instead will help harden it up ready for winter.

• Mini granule for easy, accurate application

When to use

• Can be applied to specific batches rather than treating whole area with water soluble fertilisers

• 100% coated NPK, Mg and traces; plants are supplied with all necessary nutrients for the full crop cycle

• If the controlled release fertiliser which was incorporated into the growing media has come to the end of its determined longevity

Designed for container nursery stock, our controlled release Osmocote Topdress FT (Fusion Technology) contains fast and slow release nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, as well as magnesium and trace elements. It provides quick greening up as well as sustaining plant growth over a 4-5 month period.

Windy, wintery conditions can prove challenging with plants falling over. Our Osmocote Topdress FT contains a unique component that sticks the product to the growing media surface. So, if plants fall over, you haven’t wasted your time and money.

Advantages of using Osmocote Topdress FT • Contains fast and slow release nitrogen and phosphorous • Fine granule size for an even distribution • Sticks to the growing medium - no loss of granules if the pot is blown over • Is dust free • Contains extra trace elements for greening effect • Efficient release of nutrients throughout 4-5m, not just at the start • Safe to use under protection

Containing fast and slow release NPK, it also contains Mg and all the essential trace elements. As well as providing a quick green up, this topdress will satisfy all the plants nutrition needs over the subsequent 4-5 months.

• In early spring topdress overwintered perennials to encourage compact growth and flowering
