Suståne 16-4-8 was developed as a combination fertilizer to provide nursery stock with a time-released 4-1-2 nutrient package blended with a 50% Suståne humus-rich, premium natural base. Suståne 16-4-8 Nursery Fertilizer is available in both 180-day and 120-day release profiles to meet the needs of your production cycle. Suståne 16-4-8 Nursery Fertilizer is derived from aerobically composted turkey litter, polymer-coated urea, polymer-coated MAP, and polymer-coated potassium nitrate.
Suståne 16-4-8 is perfect for the production of perennials and woody ornamentals. Nursery producers can use Suståne 16-4-8 to grow Cannabis, and beautiful Azalea, Holly, Weigelia, Crape Myrtle, Cotoneaster, Boxwood, Spiraea, Salvia, Hibiscus, and Daylily.
Suståne 16-4-8 120-day provides a constant release of nutrients for approximately 180-days when used with container substrates with an average temperature of 70oF / 21oC. When determining application rates consider all cultural practices including irrigation, container substrate physical characteristics, and growing environment.

Mycorrhizal fungi are used to treat disturbed soils that have been depleted of beneficial microorganisms. Mycorrhizae are major facilitators in soil microbiological processes. The addition of mycorrhizal inoculants has a positive effect on microbial populations by providing an environment for organisms that aggregate the soil, convert matter to available plant nutrients, and suppress pathogens, which are generally present in higher populations when mycorrhizae are not present and when soils are compacted and anaerobic.
Mycorrhizal fungi are living organisms that provide several benefits for their host plant. These organisms are entirely dependent upon their symbiotic relationship with plants for survival and consequently provide a number of services and materials to assure their host plant’s survival and productivity.
Suståne utilizes four species selected for wide range of ecosystems and climates: Rhizophagus irregularis, Rhizophagus clarus, Septoglomus deserticola, Claroideoglomus etunicatum. Suståne guarantees 200 spores per gram. Mycorrhizae are available from Suståne in 11 lb. and 40 lb. bags or custom blended into Suståne fertilizers.
Mycorrhizae products should be used within two years of date printed on the bag.
Store in a cool, dry place. Treat similar to seed.
