Osmocote Exact: The encapsulated fertilizer that will change your mind about chemical fertilizers

Until a few years ago, chemical fertilizers were frowned upon by society (and rightly so) since their excessive use caused the land or soil where they were applied to gradually lose its fertility and the quality of its nutrients. However, little by little, the world of fertilizers has been revolutionized, making products increasingly respectful of the environment.

In relation to the latter, we find OSMOCOTE EXACT, one of the best fertilizers currently on the market, and in this GARDEN WEB post, you will discover why. We will also help you understand how it works once applied to the soil.

How is Osmocote Exact different from other chemical fertilizers?

For some time, many nursery owners and professionals in the sector had been demanding a quality fertilizer that was easy to use and that truly added value to the health of their plants. Osmocote Exact is a controlled-release fertilizer (also known as encapsulated fertilizers) that helps meet all the needs that our plants may have throughout their growth. But how is Osmocote Exact different from other fertilizers?

It is made with organic resin capsules

As we mentioned, it is a fertilizer composed mainly of nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, and other trace elements wrapped in an organic resin coating that daily regulates the release of these nutrients to the plant.

This occurs because water manages to penetrate inside the capsule and dissolves the nutrients from within, which are then released through the coating when dissolved. Once all the nutrients have been released, the resin covering the capsule will gradually decompose.

Prevents root damage that other chemical fertilizers can cause

Another factor that differentiates Osmocote Exact from other chemical fertilizers is that its nutrient release is only influenced by ambient temperature. Neither salinity, nor water quality, nor microbial activity, nor any other factor.

The average temperature for nutrients to begin to be gradually released is 21 degrees Celsius. This means that if temperatures are higher than this average, the release process accelerates, which will reduce the longevity of the fertilizer, while if they are lower, it will slow down, increasing its longevity.

That is why we say that Osmocote Exact adapts to the needs that plants have throughout all cycles of their life.

Osmocote Exact is environmentally friendly

Unlike other fertilizers, Osmocote Exact helps contribute to more environmentally friendly chemical fertilization. Thanks to the characteristics we have explained in the two previous sections (controlled release and the composition of the capsule itself), this fertilizer manages to reduce fertilizer applications, improve plant health, and reduce leaching into the environment.
