FAQ About Nutri-Kote®
What is the fertilizer content of Nutri-Kote?It is similar to starter fertilizer, supplying a balanced analysis of fertilizer that is readily available. Nutri-Kote also carries micronutrients -iron, sulfur, and zinc- in just the right amount to further assist young plant establishment.
Is Nutri-Kote convenient to use?
Nutri-Kote is already bonded to the seed and is ready to use, straight from the bag. No mixing. No blending. No special equipment needed. Nutri-Kote is also durable and clean, unlike other coatings, keeping dust and waste to a minimum. The valuable plant nutrients are bonded to the seed so they stay in place where they can be readily taken up by the new seedlings.
What species of turfgrass are currently available with Nutri-Kote?
The growth-enhancing benefits of Nutri-Kote are available on bentgrass, Bermuda, bluegrass, fescue, ryegrass and others. Consult with your seed supplier to find out which specific varieties and brands are available with Nutri-Kote.
How does Nutri-Kote aid in the establishment of new seedlings?
Turfgrass is often seeded in less than optimal soil and weather conditions. Many uncoated seeds fail to survive the seedling stage and never develop into plants. Nutri-Kote supplies vital nutrients to young seedlings during the critical early growth cycle. Nutrients are bonded to the seed so they are immediately available for uptake by the seedling. Because of this readily available fertilizer, the beneficial effects of the nutrients are seed immediately. There is no quicker way to get nutrients to the plant, thus increasing the survival of the young seedlings to ensure they actually grow into healthy plants.
