Perfect for Forestry

Basacote® is ideally suited for use in forestry because:

• It can be applied direclty at planting so no second pass is required saving application costs and labour
• It only fertilizes the target tree not the surrounding weeds
• It uses low amounts of fertilizer by weight thus reducing freight and handling costs
• The early growth surge helps trees overcome weed, pest and grazing pressure
• Trace elements of Basacote® overcome micronutrient deficiencies and help trees tolerate stress
• The nutrients are available to the new seedling immediatly therefore reducing transplant shock
• Slow release properties mean less chance for leaching and nutrient loss and pollution of waterways
• Perfect for high rainfall areas
• Small application amounts means less fertilizer is carried around the site by the planting crew

Unique properties of the coating

• Even thickness
  • Ensuring high crop safety through controlled nutrient release
• High elasticity
  • High safety; mechanical damage is reduced to a minimum
  • Coating consists of elastic polymer and is slowly broken down in the soil after nutrient releases
• Trace element supply
  • All micro nutrients (B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn) are supplied in every granule
  • Chelated trace elements for excellent plant availability
  • The precise placement of micro nutrients directly under the coating layer guarantees:
    • continuous long-term release
    • best efficiency of the chelates
