NutritionAgroblen®
Agroblen is specially designed as a base fertiliser for soil grown crops such as vegetables and fruit. Agroblen consists of NPK granules, coated with
a permeable layer.
Scotts use two patented technologies for Agroblen: the resin coated technology and the Poly-S technology. Together these technologies give the best results in soil grown crops.
The unique nutrient delivery system of Agroblen delivers nutrients directly to the plant’s root system.
Agroblen also supplies Magnesium, which promotes good leaf colour and Calcium availability.
Agroblen needs only one application to feed an in-ground crop for a full season. It’s suitable for all in-ground crop applications, such as vegetables, cut flowers, tropical soft fruits, berries and fruit tree planting.
With the continuous release of N, P and K for up to 12 months, Agroblen minimises nutrient leaching, allowing lower application rates without the risk of burning roots.
Advantages of using Agroblen
- When using Agroblen as a base feeder, you have the best of two systems. Agroblen is a buffer of NPK in the soil. This means that daily there are nutrients available for your plants
- Continuous controlled release of nutrients results in efficient nutrient uptake = less total fertiliser use and reduced leaching
- Low soil salt levels = safe for (young) roots
- A balanced, continuous feed results in optimal plant growth
- Watering and fertilising are not dependent = Agroblen feeds continuously even during rain periods
- Fine tuning with water solubles is possible

Case Study
Is it possible to hug
145 million trees?
It is fair to say that the Appletons love trees. All 145 million of them. Robert Appleton estimates that since 1968 Appletons Tree Nursery in Wakefield, New Zealand, has grown in excess of 35 million ornamental trees and more than 110 million forest trees.
Last year alone they sold around 3 million Radiata pine and 1 million ornamentals. In peak years they’ve reached 5-6 million pines. And they have put their heart and soul into every one of them.
It should be noted that these trees have been grown on the same piece of ground for 39 years. And that’s been in most part possible by an annual application of composted pine bark over the 45 hectares of forest trees growing land.
