Description

Basacote® Starter 6M is a controlled-release NPK complex fertilizer fully coated. For depot fertilization of crops with high P demand such as forestry plants (eucalyptus, pinus, …). The elastic polymer coating ensures an even nutrient release for 6 months. The climate-adapted release (CAR) technology is linked to ambient temperature and guarantees nutrient availability according to individual plant requirements. The coating and release rates are not affected by soil properties such as pH, microbial activity or salinity.
Mixing into substrate is recommended directly before use (maximum storage time: 10 days). The product lasts 6 months under temperate conditions and constant temperature of 21 °C.

Sustainability

CO2-Reduction: 162 kg CO2e/t Product produced

Low-Carbon Footprint

Since 2024, COMPO EXPERT uses low-carbon ammonia to reduce the CO2 footprint of fertilizers.

The reported reduction for this product is achieved using ammonia, which has a CO2 footprint that is at least 60% lower than the market standard. This reduction is certified by our supplier and has been validated by an independent test center.

The value of 2.66 kg CO2e per kg of ammonia serves as a benchmark. This is based on average industrial emissions data for ammonia production from the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) and includes emissions from ammonia production and upstream hydrogen production.
