FAQ's

1. What it is & how it works
Q1. What is DCM Mix 5 and what is it designed for?

DCM Mix 5 is a compound organic fertiliser (NPK 10-4-8 + 3 MgO) in MINIGRAN® format with an emphasis on nitrogen, designed for fast-growing nursery stock, brassica-family vegetables, and ornamentals including roses and bulbous plants — delivering continuous nutrition over 75 to 100 days without growth stagnation.

Q2. How does the nitrogen profile of DCM Mix 5 support continuous growth?

DCM Mix 5’s 10% total nitrogen is split across three forms — ammoniacal (2%), ureic (3.5%), and organically-bound (4.5%) — delivering an immediate response followed by sustained release over 75 to 100 days, eliminating the growth stagnation and flush-and-fade cycle of purely mineral programmes.

Q3. Which crops and growing situations is DCM Mix 5 best suited to?

DCM Mix 5 is particularly well-suited to fast-growing nursery stock requiring structural firmness (boxwood, yew), brassica-family vegetables (leeks, cabbage, celery), fruit and
root vegetables, ornamentals including roses and bulbous plants, and lawns and sports turf for establishment and maintenance.

2. MINIGRAN® Technology
Q4. What is MINIGRAN® Technology and what does it mean in practice?

MINIGRAN® is DCM’s microgranule format — granules of 800 to 2,500 micron, with at least 80% between 1,000 and 2,000 micron — delivering up to 60% more even distribution
than standard granular fertilisers, with dust-free application and
compatibility with all professional spreaders.

3. Application rates
Q5. What are the recommended application rates for DCM Mix 5?

Field rates range from 6–20 kg/100 m² depending on crop — with higher rates for fruit and root vegetables, and lower rates for turf maintenance — adjusted for soil nutrient reserve, crop type, irrigation intensity, and time of application.

4. Practical & commercial
Q6. How does DCM Mix 5 differ from DCM Mix 2, and when would I choose each?

DCM Mix 5 (NPK 10-4-8) has a higher nitrogen content and is classified as a fully organic fertiliser, making it the choice for nitrogen-demanding crops requiring sustained firm
growth; DCM Mix 2 (NPK 7-6-12) emphasises potassium, making it the choice for flowering, fruiting, and autumn hardening situations.

Q7. How is DCM Mix 5 packaged and is it available in bulk?

DCM Mix 5 is available in 25 kg bags (36 bags per euro pallet, 900 kg per pallet) and uniquely within this range is also available in big bags for larger-volume operations.
