Unit price perICL Osmocote Topdress Pro Fusion Technology - 25kg is a professional Osmocote Topdress FT controlled-release fertiliser formulated for topdressing established container nursery stock.
Its resin-coated nutrients provide a measured supply over a nominal 4–5-month period at 21°C, helping growers match fertiliser longevity to their crop cycle.
Key benefits
Professional applications
Suitable for topdressing established container nursery stock. Plan nutrition around crop demand, irrigation water, substrate properties and any supplementary feeding.
How to apply
Apply evenly to the growing-medium surface according to ICL’s current topdress instructions and crop requirements. Fusion Technology helps the fertiliser adhere to the substrate surface, reducing granule loss when containers are moved or tipped.
Application rates & nutrient management
Use the current ICL topdress dosage guidance for the crop and container size; a universal application rate is not appropriate.
Manufacturer rates are general recommendations for unfertilised substrates. Adjust to local growing conditions and other nutrient inputs. Trial programme changes on a small scale before wider adoption.
Storage & handling
Keep partly used bags sealed and store in dry conditions. Follow current ICL product information and safety guidance.

Frequently asked questions
What is this fertiliser used for?
It is designed for topdressing established container nursery stock. What does the stated longevity mean?
ICL rates this product at 4–5 months at a growing-medium temperature of 21°C. Higher temperatures generally shorten the release period; lower temperatures extend it. Can it be combined with liquid feeding?
Yes, where the crop programme calls for it. Reduce the controlled-release fertiliser rate appropriately when adding water-soluble nutrients to avoid excessive total feeding. How should unused product be stored?
Reseal opened bags and store in dry conditions, following the manufacturer’s storage instructions. How do I select a rate?
Choose a rate according to crop demand, growing medium, container volume, season and any additional feeding. The published rates are general starting points for unfertilised substrates; trial changes on a small scale. What is Fusion Technology?
It is designed to help fertiliser granules adhere to the surface of the growing medium after topdressing. Is this a substitute for incorporating fertiliser at potting?
It is particularly useful for topdressing established containers; choose a nutrition programme based on the crop’s current and future needs.

Unit price perICL Osmocote Pro 5–6M is a professional controlled-release fertiliser with an NPK analysis of 19-9-10, 2% MgO and trace elements, supplied in a 25kg bag.
Its fully coated nutrient granules are designed to provide sustained nutrition over a predefined 5–6 months longevity period, making this version suited to professional container production where the crop cycle matches the stated release period.
Key benefits
Verified nutrient analysis
The current ICL product information states 19% total nitrogen, 9% P₂O₅, 10% K₂O and 2% MgO, together with trace elements. This page uses the current 19-9-10 analysis rather than relying on older or market-specific product information.
For medium-duration container production
ICL specifies a 5–6 month longevity for this Osmocote Pro formulation. This makes it suitable for professional container crops where sustained nutrition is required across a medium-duration production cycle, subject to crop requirements and growing conditions.
Using controlled-release fertiliser
Choose the product longevity and application rate according to crop species, container size, production period, growing-medium fertility, irrigation regime and supplementary feeding programme. Controlled-release fertiliser should be distributed consistently through or applied to the growing medium using a method appropriate to the crop and production system.
Avoid damaging coated granules during mechanical handling or application, as damage to the coating can alter nutrient release.
Temperature & nutrient release
Controlled-release fertiliser performance is influenced by growing conditions, particularly temperature. Crop nutrient demand also changes with growth rate, irrigation and season, so monitor crop response rather than assuming the stated longevity alone guarantees the correct nutrition programme.
Integrating with irrigation & water-soluble feeding
Account for nutrients already supplied by irrigation water, growing media and any supplementary fertiliser. Where water-soluble feeds are also used, adjust the overall programme to avoid unnecessary nutrient loading.
Storage & handling
Store fertiliser dry and protected from contamination and physical damage. Follow the current ICL product information and safety data sheet for handling, application and storage requirements.

For shorter crop cycles
ICL describes Osmocote Pro 3–4M as a controlled-release fertiliser for short crop cycles and rapidly growing plant material. Its 3–4 month longevity can make it appropriate where the production period is relatively short and a longer-duration fertiliser would extend beyond the intended crop cycle.
Using controlled-release fertiliser
Choose the product longevity and application rate according to crop species, container size, production period, growing-medium fertility, irrigation regime and supplementary feeding programme. Controlled-release fertiliser should be distributed consistently through or applied to the growing medium using a method appropriate to the crop and production system.
