FAQ's

1. Product Overview
Q1. What is DCM ECOR® 1 and what is it used for?

DCM ECOR® 1 is a 100% organic NPK 9-5-3 fertiliser with a high nitrogen content relative to potassium, designed for crops that demand sustained nitrogen supply — from leaf vegetables
and fruiting crops to ornamental plant cultivation and potting mixes.

Q2. How does the E.C.O.R.® release mechanism work?

E.C.O.R.® stands for Efficient Controlled Organic Release — a release mechanism driven by soil microbial activity that delivers sustained, continuous nutrition for 75 to 100 days from
a single application.

2. MINIGRAN® Technology
Q3. What is MINIGRAN® Technology and why does it matter?

MINIGRAN® Technology produces homogeneous microgranules between 800 and 2,500 micron — significantly smaller
than standard granular fertilisers — delivering more even nutrient distribution, faster initial uptake, and more consistent results across the growing area.

3. Application
Q4. What application rates are recommended for DCM ECOR® 1?

Application rates range from 1–3 kg/m³ for seedling and cutting mixes up to 10–20 kg/100 m² for fruiting vegetables and tree nursery base fertilisation — always calibrated to crop
type, growth stage, soil reserves, and irrigation intensity.

Q5. Can DCM ECOR® 1 be incorporated into potting mixes?

Yes — DCM ECOR® 1 is specifically suited to potting mix incorporation, including sensitive seedling and cutting mixes, where its organic release mechanism avoids the salinisation
risk associated with soluble synthetic fertilisers.

4. Choosing the Right Product
Q6. What is the difference between DCM ECOR® 1 and DCM Mix 2?

DCM ECOR® 1 is nitrogen-led (NPK 9-5-3) for crops requiring strong vegetative growth, while DCM Mix 2 is potassium-led (NPK 7-6-12) for crops where fruit quality, flowering, hardening,
or stress tolerance are the priority.

5. Sourcing Through Fargro
Q7. Why source DCM ECOR® 1 through Fargro?

Fargro supplies DCM ECOR® 1 with the backing of an experienced technical team who understand how it
performs within a wider growing programme — offering growers something beyond the product itself.

6. Packaging
