Since its conception in 1976, DCM has continuously strived to care more than the rest. In a time when chemical fertilizers were considered the only option, we were committed to bring sustainability into performance fertilizers. With the introduction of our MINIGRAN® fertilizers, organic and organic-mineral fertilizers became the new standards for European professionals – not only for organic production, but for conventional cultivation alike.

While market leadership has never been our primary objective, our approach to developing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative and environmentally friendly high-per-forming plant nutrition products has made us a pioneer and major European player in the field of premium organic and organic-mineral fertilizers.

Today, we proudly introduce DCM USA to make MINIGRAN® fertilizers available to the US market. We look forward to working closely with our distributors to support their custom-ers to the best of our capabilities. Making sure that growers and superintendents who use DCM products are successful and profitable is both our lifeblood and foundation. After all, we Do Care More. It has been in our nature for over 40 years.

Soil fertility re-definedOrganic matter is a key component of soil that affects

its physical, chemical, and biological properties –

contributing greatly to its proper functioning on which

growers and superintendents depend.

How does MINIGRAN® generate great results?

We discovered that plants need more than just NPK

nutritional programs. Soils also need organic matter rich

in different carbon sources to attract diverse beneficial

soil life such as bacteria and fungi. When soils contain

multiple high-quality carbon sources, the resulting

beneficial microbiome greatly promotes plant health.

Last, but not least, soil organic matter also improves soil

structure and reduces erosion, leading to improved water

quality and decreased negative impacts to ecosystems.

Repeatedly, experiments have shown that DCM

fertilizers significantly leach less into the environment,

thereby increasing efficiency.

BIODIVERSEDCM organic fertilizers are meticulously built from more than 30 different high-quality organic sources. Most of these raw materials are of plant or animal origin that are derived from residual flows from the human food industry. These ingredients are carefully integrated with high-quality mineral components to create DCM organic-mineral fertilizers.

CONTROLLED ORGANIC RELEASEEach raw material has its own nutrient release characteristics. These release characteristics can be modified additionally by a variety of proprietary pre-treatments. By properly combining the right ingredients and carefully pretreating certain ingredients, a prill can be designed to release its nutrients in a controlled and gradual manner.

UNIFORM DISTRIBUTIONBecause of the unique production process, MINIGRAN® fertilizers contain the same nutrients in each individual granule. Furthermore, the relatively small SGN sizes compared to pellets and crumbles allow for a perfect distribution when applied on turf or soils, or when blended into growing media or root-zone mixes. This uniform distribution ensures even growth and color, leaving no spot pattern when applied on turf.

IMPROVED ROOT DEVELOPMENTA deep and well-developed root system is important for a strong plant, which is more resistant to environmental stresses and wear. To stimulate growth and regeneration of roots, DCM has developed MINIGRAN® formulations where mineral and organic phosphorus sources are combined to ensure both a quick and long-lasting phosphorus release.
