HI-COTE Vegetables is designed for basal application at transplanting, placing the fertilizer directly in contact with the root zone for immediate and sustained nutrient uptake.

Action

① Dig up soil at the planting site

② Apply Hi-Cote granules into the hole

③ Plant the crops

④ Cover with soil

⑤ Water thoroughly

Placing Hi-Cote granules beneath or beside the transplant at planting ensures nutrients are available from establishment through the full growing cycle — with a single application.

Step

Description

① Moisture Penetration

Water penetrates into the polymer-coated capsule

② Fertilizer Dissolving

Nutrients dissolve inside the granule

③ Nutrients Release

Dissolved NPK is gradually released into the soil by osmotic pressure

Unlike slow release fertilizers, CRF is not affected by soil pH, salt damage, microorganism activity, or oxidation — ensuring stable and predictable nutrient availability.
