Concentrated 100% Natural FertilizerAgricare OT is a concentrated , multi-nutrient compound fertilizer for use with vegetable growing, lawn feed and for flowers and borders. It is made from 100% poultry litter that is initially used within electricity generation. Once this process is over we are left with a very nutrient rich by-product Agricare OT which is therefore totally natural with no chemical addatives and a very good , low bulk, alternative to worm casts when used on your vegetable plot.
Agricare OT contains all the nutrients, except nitrogen, that are present in the poultry litter and allows you to recycle these nutrients back into your soil or lawn. It is a valuable source of available and long-term forms of phosphate and potash that will benefit both current and future crops. It also contains useful amouts of secondry nutrients and valuable trace elements.
As we have said, Agricare OT is a totally natural product with no smell and can be used as an excellent and very cost effective alternative to superphosphate and muriate of potash based fertilizers.
Vegetables
Agricare OT fertilizer should be spread on your soil and dug in. Alternatively it can be spread on the soil and left to allow nature to turn the soil. This will ensure the nutrients are moved around in the soil for an even uptake by the growing vegetables. To get the best results Agricare OT should be in the soil before the plants start to grow so that their roots can draw the maximum nutrients.
There is no need to cover your soil with 3-4" of this fertilizer as with many other products, simply spread at an approximate coverage of 1kg per 100 m2.
Grass & Lawn
For grass and lawn feed Agricare OT should be evenly spread across the surface at a rate of 500gms per 100 m2.
Borders & Flowerbeds
Ensure an even spread across the soil surface at a rate of approximately 50gms per 100 m2.

Typical Analysis of Agricare OTPHOSPHATE (P205) : 12%
Phosphate is essential for cell division, good plant establishment, early strong plant growth, strong root growth, enlargement and the storage and release of energy. Not enough Phosphate will result in stunted growth therefore smaller plants. A deficiency of Phosphate will show with plants turning red or purple with the signs showing first on the older leaves then moving to the younger growth. As Phosphate is not mobile within the soil it must be dug into the soil where the roots can reach it.
POTASH (K20) : 12%
A good supply of Potash improves the drought tolerance of plants so is especially good for water hungry crops and on land that is being used quite heavily.
MAGNESIUM (MgO) : 6%
Magnesium is very important for the basics of plant growth. No magnesium = no photosynthesis. Magnesium plays a vital role in photosynthesis as well as activates many plant enzymes so improves early and uniform maturity within your crop. A deficiency of Magnesium will show with yellowing between the leaves of plants which will turn brown in severe cases and large leafed crops could develop a marbled appearance.
SULPHUR (SO3) : 5%
Sulphur is an essential plant nutrient and a component of proteins within all types of crops. A deficiency of sulphur can reduce the uptake of nitrogen that is vital for the strong growth of stems, leaves and the healthy green colour of all plants.
CALCIUM (CaO) : 29%
Calcium is good to help maintain the pH of soil as well as thickens the skins of many fruits, tomatoes and potatoes. It helps to increase root weight, reduces respiration and controls the uptake of water.
SODIUM (Na2O) : 2.3%
Many vegetable crops including carrots and root brassicas have a particular requirement for Sodium to aid their healthy growth.
Plus trace elements including Boron, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium & Zinc.
