PurKote
Product Description
PurKote is a broad line of Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers (EEF) for turf and ornamentals that consists of a substrate (e.g. urea, MAP, potash, NPK, SOP, etc.) with a proprietary next generation polymer coating developed by Pursell Agri-Tech.
Analysis: Varies according to substrate and coating thickness. For example, PurKote Urea with a 30 day release (at 30ºF/86ºC) has an analysis of 45-0-0.
Properties:
- The coating is typically purple.
- Release rate is driven by soil temperature.
- SGN is suited to turf and ornamental plants, as well as some horticultural applications.
Advantages:
- The polymer coating slows the natural processes of nitrogen conversion and volatilization, making nutrients available to plants over a longer portion of the growing season, which improves uptake efficiency (greater synchronization with the needs of the growing crop/plant) and reduces nutrient loss/waste.
- Harmonious with 4R Nutrient Stewardship practices (rate source at the right rate, in the rate place at the right time).
- Available in different release durations according to the coating thickness.
- Different coating thicknesses can be blended together at desired ratios to further tailor the release curve to crop requirements.
- The proprietary coating is thinner and more pliable than most other competing EEFs, and can effectively cover a wide range of shapes and sizes of prills/granules.
- The coating is applied at lower temperatures than competing EEFs, allowing for the potential inclusion of biologicals and micronutrients during the production process.
Application methods:
- Suitable for blending and all application methods utilized for standard urea.
