Talk:Controlled-release fertiliser

A few small improvements/updates in the text: In section manufacturers of controlled release fertilizers in the tables The Scotts Company is mentioned as producer of Agroblen and Osmocote, this has changed in early 2014: new owner is ICL (Israel Chemicals Limited), this business unit is also called the last few years Everris International as part of ICL's specialty fertilizer business unit. ICL did take over the professional business from Scotts, incl. production and brands in The Netherlands and USA. Agroblen polymer coated N is not correct: this is wax coated-SCU, made by the former parent company (The Scotts Company), known as Poly-S, made in the USA. Production of Polymer coated NPK (as Osmocote and Agroblen brands) is in Charleston-USA and Heerlen-The Netherlands.

Aglucon (correctly spelled as Aglukon) is mentioned as manufacturer of Plantacote. In 2013 this business incl. production plant is sold to SQM-Vitas, the legal entity is called Plantacote BV. The production plant is still in Germany, a new plant is probably built in The Netherlands in 2015/6.

In the short explanation at the beginning of Section Manufacturers Scotts Europe is mentioned: this is since beginning 2014 Everris International or better called ICL as parent company. All info can be found on their respective webistes. 91.231.4.143 (talk) 19:56, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
