Multicote Agri has been used successfully in sugar cane

Pre planting application of Multicote Agri significantly reduced the nutrients application rates without any reduction in crop yield and its quality

Characteristic of best treatment Although the application rates of N & K2O were reduced by 30% , the total yield was kept at the control level
Conclusions This experiment clearly showed that the high efficiency use of Multicote Agri (applied as pre planting) allows to reduce significantly the nutrients application rates without any reduction in crop yield
