At what temperature does HI-COTE begin to release? Does HI-COTE release N below 50o F?

HI-COTE is designed to begin releasing nitrogen at the seed germination temperature, which is typically around 50 o F at the planting depth. Below this temperature, the release of nitrogen is very slow. The release rate increases gradually as the temperature rises, aligning with the crop’s nitrogen demand throughout the growing season.
