Suståne 18-1-8+Fe with Nutralene + Polymer Coated SCU
Description

Suståne 18-1-8 plus Iron is a two-part blend with four-way release of nitrogen for lawns, containers and landscaped areas.  The most economical coverage of any organic based fertilizer.  18-1-8 is for topdress only and should not be incorporated into substrates or soil blends.

Professional Grade 

Suståne products are derived from biologically stable humus-rich compost and contain both water soluble nitrogen (WSN) and slow release nitrogen (SRN), beneficial microbiology, and all 17 elements essential for plant photosynthesis. With a near-neutral pH, a low salt index and low ammonium nitrogen percentage, Suståne will not cause seedling stress or plant fertilizer “burn”. Suståne products increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) by supplying humates and stable organic matter. Suståne’s organic and blended natural fertilizers provide all soil types with 

Benefits of Suståne 18-1-8+Fe CRF
  • Suståne 18-1-8+Fe is the longest lasting slow release nitrogen fertilizer made by Suståne.
  • Combines 4 different forms of nitrogen: 3 types of slow release including Suståne Organic N, PCSCU, methylene urea and 1 form of quick release nitrogen from ammonium sulfate
  • 15.3% (85% of total N) is slow release nitrogen
  • 18-1-8+Fe is extremely safe and will not burn or discolor plants and turfgrass 
  • Uniform particle size allows for even application
  • Long lasting Suståne 18-1-8+Fe provides steady, slow growth with excellent color for up to four months
  • Also used as topdress fertilizer for carry over nutrition in containerized nursery plants and perennial shrub beds (Please see recommended application rates in the Suståne Natural Base Fertilizers for Nursery, Greenhouse & Landscape technical brochure.)
12 - 16 week release rates

The controlled release portion of the material is made from industry leading polymer coated sulfur coated urea.  Nutrient release rates from Suståne 18-1-8+Fe are based on soil or substrate temperature and microbial activity. The sophisticated two mechanism release matches plant nutrient requirements over the production cycle and prevents dumping of nutrients.
