About Florikan Nutricote Total 18-6-8 (180 Day)

Nutricote Total 18-6-8 (180 Day) is manufactured by Florikan using Nutricote, a coating technology used under license from Sojitz America, coating nitrate compound fertilizer with a special resin so this higher-nitrogen homogeneous formula delivers consistent, dependable, non-flash-release performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should growers incorporate this 18-6-8 Nutricote fertilizer?

Blend it into the growing media at planting so the Nutricote coating provides predictable release across the 180 day window from the start of the crop cycle. Because it's a 100% controlled release homogeneous fertilizer, no separate starter feed is needed.

What sets the 18-6-8 ratio apart from other Nutricote Total SKUs?

The 18-6-8 ratio carries a higher nitrogen level than Florikan's 13-11-11 or 14-4-14 Nutricote Total SKUs, suited to crops with heavier nitrogen demand through the production cycle. All three share the same underlying Nutricote resin coating process.

What does 'homogeneous' mean for this fertilizer?

It means each granule contains the same blend of nutrients rather than a mix of different single-nutrient particles, so nutrition stays evenly distributed no matter how the bag is scooped or spread. That's part of what gives it consistent, predictable release.

What crop cycle length does the 18-6-8 180 day version suit?

The coating on this higher-nitrogen SKU is engineered to provide predictable release over 180 days, so growers should match that duration to their expected time from planting to finish. Selecting the wrong duration risks a crop outlasting or outpacing its feed.

What size and packaging is this listing?

It ships as a 50lb bag, sized for the 180 day release version of the Nutricote Total 18-6-8 line. That packaging suits commercial greenhouse and nursery operations with heavier nitrogen-demand crops.
