Nutricote 17-7-8 270 Days 2 Stage Total 50 Lbs

Product Specs

• Product: 17-7-8 TOTAL 2-Stage Nutricote®
• Manufacturing Process: Coating nitrate compound fertilizers with a special resin
• Controlled Release: Duration of releasing nutrients is controlled by composition of resin and quantity of special “chemical release agent” added
• Consistency and Precision: Special release agent improves consistency and precision of nutrient release
• Composition: Resin and release controlling agent create molecular passageways in coated resin
• Nutrient Dissolution: Water in soil enters granule through passageways and dissolves nutrients
• Steady Release: Nutrient solution is control-released steadily through the same passageways
• Advantage over other slow release fertilizers: Does not depend on thickness of resin coating, resulting in consistent release
• Range of Release Periods: Offers a wider range of release periods
• Weight and Cost: Contributes significantly less weight and cost compared to other slow release fertilizers

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: What is the composition of Nutricote’s resin and how does it control nutrient release?

Answer: Nutricote’s resin is made up of a special “chemical release agent” that is added to a coated resin. This combination creates molecular passageways in a maze-like structure. When Nutricote is applied to the soil, the water in the soil enters the granule through these passageways and dissolves the nutrients. The nutrient solution is then steadily released through the same passageways.

Question 2: How does Nutricote differ from other slow release fertilizers?

Answer: Unlike other slow release fertilizers, Nutricote does not depend on the thickness of its resin coating to control the release period. This results in a more consistent release and eliminates variations in particle size. Additionally, Nutricote’s unique resin composition allows for a wider range of release periods and reduces the weight and cost of the product.

Question 3: What makes Nutricote the gold standard in controlled release fertilizers?

Answer: Nutricote has been the gold standard for over thirty years due to its consistent and dependable release curve, as well as its superior homogeneous nitrate-based fertilizer. Scientifically proven to outperform other controlled release fertilizers, Nutricote delivers a total nutritional package with micronutrients and has a track record of proven results.

Question 4: What are the features and benefits of Nutricote Total 2 Stage?

Answer: Nutricote Total 2 Stage is a controlled release fertilizer that starts releasing nutrients a bit quicker and experiences two release spikes during a 270-day period. The features of Nutricote Total 2 Stage include predictable release, a total package of NPK and micros in every prill, water-soluble micro-nutrients, and a high percentage of nitrate nitrogen. The benefits of this product include consistent and dependable performance, more efficient release characteristics, compatibility with crop cycles, uniform crop quality, maximized nutrient uptake, and reduced burn potential due to its lack of urea/NH4 conversion.
