The Multicote™ Agri Junior fertilizer granules should be placed in or right above the active root zone,
though avoiding direct contact with the young roots.
Planting of deciduous trees and grape vines
- Place the fertilizer granules on the bottom of planting hole
- Cover with 3-5 cm of soil
- Place the plant, cover and pack normally
-
Subtropical trees - after planting
-
Trees at 2nd and 3rd year
- Use a spade to make 2-4 slots around the tree,
5-10 cm away from the stem, 5-10 cm deep.
In hot climates, make the slots 10-25 cm deep - Divide the fertilizer dose equally between the slots
- Cover the fertilizer granules with soil
To allow for continuous release, the granules should be placed within the zone wetted by irrigation.
