Item Description Name   General Purpose slow release fertilizer   Size   500gm tub    Quantity   This listing is for 1 tub   Description/Uses Plants require ample, but not excessive, fertilizer during the growing season. There is a need for essential elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to be supplied in a controlled release form so that the fertilizer is not being wasted in the dormant seasons and is available throughout the growing seasons. Debcote has been formulated to give a proportion of available nutrients immediately, plus a reserve for long-term growth and development. It also contains a proportion of granulated seaweed to enhance root development. Debcote is a blend of polymer coated controlled-release fertilizer, faster-releasing prills and granulated seaweed. The polyon coat is a non-porous polymer coating, which controls nutrient release for specific time periods. The time of release is determined by the thickness of the coating and is influenced by the temperature of the soil. This is important because plant growth is also largely dependant on temperature, which means that the fertilizer will be releasing in synchronisation with the plants' needs. The release is essentially unaffected by soil type, moisture level, pH or microbial activity. Debcote provides up to three months' controlled-release feeding for plants, and is suitable for most plants including vegetables, flowers, trees and shrubs, lawns, pots and hanging baskets. It is a safe and easy to use formulation that can be applied during any season. Each tub contains enough fertilizer to feed 80 young plants. Place 1 teaspoon around each plant after planting Debcote granules contain the following nutrients Nitrogen (N) - 19% Phosphorus (P) - 2.6% Potasium (K) - 10% Please Note:: This General Purpose fertilizer is ideal for most plants but is not suitable for some natives such as Banksias and Grevilleas.
