Plantacote® Top N 16M
Plantacote® Top N 16M is specifically engineered for crops with a high nitrogen requirement over an extended 16-month period.
By prioritizing a powerful and stable nitrogen release, this product actively drives continuous foliage development and sustains lush, vibrant growth throughout the entire lifecycle.
Reliable 16-Month Longevity
Provides a steady, consistent nutrient supply over a full 16-month period—the ideal solution for slow-growing woody ornamentals and crops with extended inventory timelines.
Synchronized Nutrient Insurance
The release perfectly tracks plant demand, providing a reliable base fertilizer supply that ensures your crops always have a minimum level of nitrogen, preventing gaps even in warmer climates.
Environmental & Operational Stability
The release mechanism is highly resistant to substrate variations, pH fluctuations, and irrigation levels, providing growers with predictable, reliable performance regardless of external conditions.
Incorporation
Plantacote® Top N 16M is evenly mixed into the growing media before potting.
Dibbling
The product is placed on the bottom of a planting hole, lightly covered with media before putting the plant into the hole.
Topdressing
The granules are applied to the surface of the substrate. We recommend placing them close to the watering system for best results.
| Crop / Demand | Sensitive (g/l or kg/m³) | Medium (g/l or kg/m³) | Vigorous (g/l or kg/m³) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extended-Cycle Flowering Shrubs | 2.5 – 4.0 | 4.0 – 5.0 | 5.0 – 6.5 |
| Long-Term Nursery Stock & Foliage | 3.0 – 4.5 | 4.5 – 5.5 | 5.5 – 7.5 |
| Palms & Exotics | 3.0 – 4.5 | 4.5 – 6.0 | 6.0 – 8.0 |
Attention
Please consider, these are general recommendations which require adjustments in case of specific situations. All dosages are based on unfertilized media; reduce them if other fertilizers are used.
The rate of nutrient releases can vary according to the temperature of the substrate: 16M is determined at 21°C, 15-16°C results in 17-18M and 26-27°C in 14-15M.
