Universol: tried and tested by enthusiastic growers across Europe
Universol is one of the leading water soluble fertilizer brands. Because Universol
delivers on its promises time after time, the number of users is rising every year. An
investment in Universol quality is a worthwhile investment!
Whichever formula you choose, Universol offers you certainty
Buyers demand top quality plants. You as a grower therefore have high standards
during cultivation. Fertilizers are fully tailored to optimise the growth of your plants.
Using Universol also gives you the certainty that all the nutrients are provided. Every
Universol product contains a full spectrum of chelated trace elements.
Strict quality assurance on raw materials and the production process guarantee a
consistently high quality, giving you a sense of security.

Choose the Universol formula to suit your situation
Universol offers a powerful range of products for every situation. Thanks to the
broad-based application possibilities, it is easy to choose the right formula for your
needs and so that you can easily recognise each product, they all have their own
distinctive colour. You may sometimes need to combine an NPK mix with calcium
nitrate in a so-called ‘two-tray system.’ Universol Basic has been specially developed
for use in combination with simple fertilizers. Increased amounts of trace elements
keep them at effective levels even after blending. Universol Basic can also be used to
harden off your crop!
The new Universol colour system
Universol has a new colour system. The improved performance is down to a
granulated dye originally developed for the food industry. That granular structure
keeps your hands and the irrigation system cleaner. The colours remain true in
your diluted feeds, and you always know exactly which formula you are giving your
plants.
The ‘Bright Solution System’ for clear results
Universol gives better results. Carefully selected
ingredients ensure the highest quality. The Bright
Solution System gives clear results and a clean system.
Clear packaging gives you the right information
Improved Universol is packaged in sturdy polyethylene bags of 25 kg. The packaging
is easily recognisable and the NPK ratios are displayed clearly. As always, the Scotts
logo on the bags is your guarantee of the high quality to which you are accustomed.
Easy to use, best results every time
The new improved Universol is more powerful than ever. This brochure provides
you with all the technical information you need regarding the new Universol, as well
as recommended dosages for pot plants, bedding plants and container arboriculture.
If you would like tailored advice, please contact your Scotts fertilizer supplier, or
