FAQ's

1. What it is & how it works
Q1. What is DCM Vivifos® and when should I use it?

DCM Vivifos® is a phosphorus-specialist organo-mineral fertiliser (NP 4-30) for situations of specific phosphorus need — particularly at transplanting, rooting, and flowering stages where strong root development and nutrient uptake establishment are the priority.

Q2. Why is organically-bound phosphorus better than straight mineral phosphorus?

Organically-bound phosphorus in DCM Vivifos® remains plant-available for several weeks after application because it is released gradually through microbial activity, rather than locking up rapidly in soil as insoluble compounds the way straight mineral phosphate does.

Q3. Which crops and situations benefit most from DCM Vivifos®?

DCM Vivifos® is most valuable at transplanting and establishment, in fluorine-sensitive crops, on soils where phosphorus lock-up is known to occur, and at the start of flowering in fruiting vegetables where phosphorus demand peaks.

2. Application rates & method
Q4. What are the recommended rates for DCM Vivifos® across different crops and uses?

Field application rates range from 2–8 kg/100 m² depending on crop; potting mix rates are 0.5–3 kg/m³ for base fertilisation or 0.5–2 g/L as a top dressing; fruiting vegetables at flowering are applied at 20–40 g per plant directly to the base.

Q5. How should DCM Vivifos® be incorporated when laying out turf or lawns?

For new turf or lawn establishment, spread DCM Vivifos® at 4–6 kg/100 m² during soil preparation and incorporate into the top 10–15 cm using a rotary cultivator or rolling harrow — always use alongside a base fertiliser, not as a standalone product.

3. Practical & commercial
Q6. How does DCM Vivifos® fit alongside DCM Vital-Green and DCM Mix 2 in a programme?

Vivifos® addresses specific phosphorus needs at key growth stages; Vital-Green provides balanced NPK for managed turf with nitrogen emphasis; Mix 2 supplies broad-spectrum NPK
with a potassium emphasis for flowering and fruiting crops — the three products are complementary and often used in sequence within the same growing programme.

Q7. How is DCM Vivifos® packaged?

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