DCM Mix 2 Fertiliser 25kg

1. What it is & how it works

Q1. What is DCM Mix 2 and what makes it distinctive?

DCM Mix 2 is a versatile compound organo-mineral fertiliser (NPK 7-6-12 + 4 MgO) in MINIGRAN® format, built around a high potassium content that makes it the DCM range’s go-to
choice for flowering ornamentals, fruiting vegetables, autumn turf hardening, and potassium-poor soils — with a mild enough action to be safe for incorporation into potting mixes and use around young plant roots.

Q2. Why does DCM Mix 2 emphasise potassium, and which crops benefit most?

Potassium drives flower colour, fruit quality, stress resistance, and cell wall strength — crops with a high potassium demand respond strongly to DCM Mix 2’s 12% K₂O content,
including flowering ornamentals, fruiting vegetables, soft fruit, tuberous crops, and turf going into autumn.

Q3. How does the four-form nitrogen in DCM Mix 2 work?

DCM Mix 2’s 7% total nitrogen is split across four forms — nitric (1%), ammoniacal (1%), ureic (1%),
and organically-bound (4%) — delivering a graduated response from rapid availability through to sustained release over 75–100 days, with the dominant organic fraction minimising leaching and supporting continuous growth.

2. Where & how it is used

Q4. Which crops and situations can DCM Mix 2 be used on?

DCM Mix 2 has one of the broadest application profiles in the DCM range — covering vegetables, fruit, tree nursery, ornamental plant cultivation, potting mixes, sports turf, golf
courses, lawns, and ornamental gardens, in both field and container growing systems.

Q5. Can DCM Mix 2 be incorporated into potting mixes, and what rates apply?

Yes — DCM Mix 2’s mild action and MINIGRAN® format make it well-suited to incorporation into potting and growing media as a base fertiliser at 2–4 kg/m³, or as a pot top dressing
at 2–3 g/L potting soil, covering bedding plants, container nursery stock, and municipal flowering displays.

3. MINIGRAN® format & practical use

Q6. What are the practical advantages of the MINIGRAN® format for DCM Mix 2?

MINIGRAN® microgranules (800–2,500 micron, with at least 80% between 1,000 and 2,000 micron) deliver up
to 60% more even distribution than standard granular fertilisers, blend homogeneously into potting media, apply dust-free and low-odour, and work with all professional spreaders.

4. Practical & commercial

Q7. How does DCM Mix 2 differ from DCM Vital-Green, and when would I choose each?

DCM Vital-Green (NPK 14-5-8 + 3 MgO + Fe) is a higher-nitrogen, iron-containing product designed
specifically for managed turf; DCM Mix 2 (NPK 7-6-12 + 4 MgO) is a lower-nitrogen, higher-potassium product suited to flowering and fruiting crops, potting mixes, and a much wider range of growing situations.

Q8. How is DCM Mix 2 packaged?

DCM Mix 2 is available in 25 kg bags, with 36 bags per euro pallet (900 kg per pallet).
