Advantages
- Your plants are protected against Phytophthora cinnamomi at all times, even when you are busy
- Fewer spray applications required.
- PlantTrust offers long-lasting protection; a single application offers the certainty that plants are well protected;
- PlantTrust is mixed through the substrate; the active ingredient is therefore close to the roots, where it works best.
- Easy to use, time-saving.
- Healthier work environment – no direct contact with the active ingredient as PlantTrust is mixed through the growing medium and not applied onto the plant.
Directions for use
Mix PlantTrust in the growing medium.
The application rate for PlantTrust is based on mention rates per pot volume. Take into account the dilution effect when repotting into larger pots.

PlantTrust can be used from February until June.

Protection
One application mixed through the substrate results in long-lasting protection against Phytophthora cinnamomi. The time period during which the plants are optimally protected against this fungal infection depends on the pot size and the degree of infection with Phytophthora cinnamomi. (see the table below)

Advised combinations with PlantTrust / Osmocote Exact
To provide plants with optimal nutrition throughout the season, it is advised to combine PlantTrust with Osmocote Exact Protect or Osmocote Exact Hi.End.
For specific recommendations to optimize this system, please contact your ICL Specialty Fertilizers advisor.
Attention
Combine PlantTrust in growing medium with Osmocote Exact Protect or Hi.End. Both Osmocote Exact products are based on the Dual Coating Technology (DCT), where the release of nutrients takes place (partially) later in the cultivation period. This matches the nutrients released by PlantTrust perfectly. In this way, your plants receive an optimal supply of nutrients and therefore achieve the best possible quality. It is important to not use any starter fertilizer in combination with PlantTrust. Your fertilization program will require modifications if you use water soluble fertilizers.
