Mechanically-Incorporated Controlled-Release Fertilizer Results in Greater Nitrogen and Salt Leaching Losses from Soilless Substrate in Containers

Mechanically-Incorporated Controlled-Release Fertilizer Results in Greater Nitrogen and Salt Leaching Losses from Soilless Substrate in Containers

Uniform incorporation of controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) is a recommended best management practice to reduce nitrogen leaching losses from container-plant production. The potential for damage to CRF prill coating when mechanically incorporated into a soilless substrate was tested. Osmocote Plus...
