Floranid® Twin Permanent 16-5-15: Proven universal slow-release fertilizer – sustainably optimized

Floranid® Twin Permanent 16-5-15: Bewährter  Universal-Langzeitdünger – nachhaltig optimiert

Münster, July 2026

With the further development of Floranid® Twin Permanent 16-5-15 (+3 MgO + trace elements), COMPO EXPERT presents a sustainably optimized universal long-term fertilizer that has been adapted to current requirements - without compromising its proven performance.

For many years, Floranid® Twin Permanent has stood for reliable, even nutrient supply and high application safety. The new formulation combines these qualities with a targeted improvement in sustainability and resource efficiency.

Optimized for current requirements
The revised formulation features a balanced nutrient ratio of 16-5-15 (+3 MgO + trace elements). The phosphate content has been optimized (N : P₂O₅ = 1 : 0,3) - for the typical nutrient uptake of turf.

In addition, recycled phosphate is used as a raw material, contributing to a circular economy. At the same time, CO₂-reduced sources are used for nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, and sulfur, significantly lowering the carbon footprint.

Overall, this results in a CO₂ reduction of around 425 kg CO₂e per tonne of product compared to the use of conventionally sourced raw-materials.

Even long-term effect
Floranid® Twin Permanent continues to be based on the proven Twin technology with the nitrogen forms ISODUR® and CROTODUR®. These ensure a sustainable and reliable nitrogen supply with high efficiency.

The combination of both components provides uniform nitrogen release over 2 to 3 months without undesirable growth surges. At the same time, losses due to leaching are minimized.
Another slow-release component is the recycled P, which improves phosphate availability while reducing losses (e.g. due to rapid fixation).
