Nutricote

There are several kinds of Nutricote - so the answer requires several questions. 1. Is it controlled release or timed release? Controlled Release - releases evenly over the entire time period -timed release releases a lot then tapers off over the time period.
2. What is the time period of the Nutricote you bought? Is it 360 day, 180 day or 60 day? The amout of the application depends entirely on the answer.
I have use 180 day controlled release 13-13 -13 at the the rate of 1tsp/gal pot in January - at that rate I need to put another type on in June or July.
A good reference is the Florikan catalog at Florikan | Florida Fertilizer & Horticultural Product Supply | Controlled Release Fertilizer | Lawn & Garden Fertilizer | Sarasota, Florida If your look at the fertilizers you will realize that you asked a much more complicated quention than you might have thought.
