Osmocote Blend Topdress Special 22-5-6 is built specifically for cooler weather, holding color and boosting plant growth earlier than a typical coated fertilizer.

Sold as a 50lb bag, 40 per pallet, 4-5 month Poly-S nitrogen release.

Frequently Asked Questions

How and when should this topdress be applied?

Apply it as a topdress during cooler-weather production windows, since it's specifically built to hold color and boost growth earlier in the season than a typical coated fertilizer under those conditions. It's most commonly used on conifers, perennials, and grasses in nursery and landscape settings.

Why does the response take time to show?

The response after application isn't immediate, but the Poly-S coating is what extends Nitrogen release out to the 4-5 month window rather than releasing all at once. That gradual release is what lets it hold foliage color and support growth through a cooler production cycle.

What coating and nutrient components make up this formula?

It combines Poly-S and IBDU coating technologies with phosphorous and STEP Hi-Mag micronutrients on a 22-5-6 base. That layered approach is what gives it its 4-5 month release profile.

What crops is this topdress most commonly used on?

The most common applications are on conifers, perennials, and grasses, though it's labeled for nursery stock, foliage, and landscape use more broadly. Growers running cooler-weather production on these crops are the primary audience.

What size and packaging is this listing?

It ships as a 50lb bag, 40 per pallet, matched to its 4-5 month Poly-S release window. That volume suits commercial nursery topdressing programs.
