Will it be where the plants need it most?
Probably not, if you apply conventional fertilizer this
•spring. Come summer, the critical supply may be left
“high and dry."
During the heat of summer, roots are most active
down in the deeper zones where the moisture supply
is more abundant. Trouble is, that may not be where
the food is.
Phosphate, for example, loses much of its effectiveness
by becoming locked up through fixation in the soil.
But UNIPELS contain two forms of phosphorus (as
well as potash and two forms of nitrogen) for
continuous plant feeding throughout the growing season.
A unique “phospho-mtnc” process makes the
phosphate in UNIPELS 100% available, yet makes it
resist fixation regardless of how it is applied'
Come summer, the phosphorus and other nutrients
in UNIPELS are down in the rich moisture zone actually
stimulating root growth and proliferation for greater
nutrient intake
Make sure your fertilizer is where the plants need it
most this summer plowdown UNIPELS this spring.
