1. Product Overview
Q1. What is DCM ECOR® 6 and what is it used for?
DCM ECOR® 6 is a vegan-certified organo-mineral fertiliser (NPK 5-1,5-4 + 2 MgO) formulated from vegetable and naturally sourced mineral raw materials — suited to crops requiring steady nitrogen-led growth alongside magnesium support, including potting mix incorporation, leaf and fruiting vegetables, lawns, and tree nursery cultivation.
Q2. What role does magnesium (MgO) play, and why does DCM ECOR® 6 include it?
Magnesium is the central element in the chlorophyll molecule and is essential for photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and phosphorus transport within the plant — its inclusion in DCM
ECOR® 6 makes it particularly well suited to crops and soils where magnesium deficiency is a risk.
Q3. What does the VEGAN certification mean for DCM ECOR® 6?
The VEGAN mark confirms that DCM ECOR® 6 contains only plant-derived and naturally occurring mineral raw materials — no animal by-products and no animal manure — making it suitable for growers who exclude animal-derived inputs on ethical, policy, or supply chain grounds.
Q4. What does the E.C.O.R.® release mechanism mean in practice?
E.C.O.R.® (Efficient Controlled Organic Release) delivers continuous nutrition for 75 to 100 days through microbial breakdown of organic raw materials — with no soluble flush, no
salinisation risk, and improved cost-effectiveness through reduced leaching.
2. MINIGRAN® Technology
Q5. What is MINIGRAN® Technology and why does it matter?
MINIGRAN® Technology produces homogeneous microgranules between 800 and 2,500 micron — delivering up to 60%
more even nutrient distribution than conventional granular fertilisers, with faster starting activity and compatibility with all professional spreading equipment.
3. Application
Q6. What application rates are recommended for DCM ECOR® 6?
Rates range from 1–2 kg/m³ for sowing and cutting substrates up to 8–15 kg/100 m² for fruit and small fruit — always adjusted for crop type, soil nutritional reserve, magnesium status, and
irrigation intensity.
4. Choosing the Right Product
Q7. What is the difference between DCM ECOR® 6 and DCM ECOR® 1?
Both are nitrogen-led ECOR® products suited to similar crops, but DCM ECOR® 1 (NPK 9-5-3) delivers higher NPK values from animal and plant raw materials; DCM ECOR® 6 (NPK 5-1,5-4 + 2
MgO) offers lower, gentler NPK with added magnesium, vegan certification, and a formulation based entirely on vegetable and naturally sourced mineral inputs.
5. Sourcing Through Fargro
