Suståne® 12•12•12
Natural + Coated Controlled Release
Description

Suståne 12-12-12 was developed as a combination fertilizer to provide all floral and nursery stock with a complete, balanced and controlled release nutrient package.  Suståne 12-12-12 provides plant essential nutrients in both controlled release and slow release organic form by combining coated CRF with nutrient rich aerobically composted turkey litter.  The Suståne organic component  undergoes a 26-week aerobic composting process ensuring that the finished product is stabilized yet biologically active. 

The controlled release portion of the material is made from industry leading polymer coated urea, polymer coated mono-ammonium phosphate and polymer coated potassium nitrate.  Nutrient release rates from Suståne 12-12-12 are based on soil or substrate temperature and microbial activity. The sophisticated two mechanism release matches plant nutrient requirements over the production cycle and prevents dumping of nutrients. 

Professional Grade 

Suståne Natural Fertlizer is backed by over 30 years of independent applied research on diverse crops and ecosystems. Unmatched by any other organic fertilizer manufacturer, such research is the foundation for developing products that deliver value under a wide variety of growing conditions. The superior performance of Suståne's products is recognized by growers from around the world.

Low Rate: Recommended for salt sensitive species; when concurrent with liquid feed; with production systems utilizing low leaching fractions (less than 10%); and when applied to heavy potting substrates (total porosity less than 65%).

Medium Rate: Recommended for use on medium feeding species; on most nursery stock and foliage plants; and when liquid feed is not performed.

High Rate: Recommended for use on heavy feeding species; with production systems utilizing high leaching fractions (greater than 20%); and when applied to light, porous substrates (total porosity greater than 80%).
