NUTRICOTE TOTAL 13-13-13                   TYPE 270 (lasts for 270 days, best available)

Nutricote® Timed Released Fertilizer

Nutricote uniformly releases fertilizer over time, based on temperature and moisture exposure. The release is controlled by a patented chemical release agent in the resin coating.  Other controlled released fertilizers depend solely on the thickness of their resin, which results in non uniform releases.  Nutricote release periods are designated by Types.  The Type number indicates the number of days at 77°F that the product will release 80% of its nitrogen.  For example, Type 360 will release 80% of its nitrogen evenly over a 360-day period at 77°F.Directions for use: 1 — 3 Teaspoons sprinkled on top of medium, depending on pot size.
