Ortho Umpel STARTER SPECIAL.
A starter 7 As a “pop-up" 7 It has to be special.
It is STARTER SPECIAL is a completely unique product.
Heres why
Physical Uniformity. STARTER SPECIAL pellets are made
to the same shape and density for maximum consistency and
control in application.
Chemical Uniformity Each and every STARTER SPECIAL
pellet has all three primary nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium chemically homogenized m precisely the most
desirable ratio 13-34-10 The nutrients can’t separate or
segregate during handling as with troublesome, hard-to
regulate “dry blends.”
- Double Duty Nutrients STARTER SPECIAL has both
quick-acting and long-lasting nitrogen and phosphorus for
thorough plant feeding There is no urea or diammonium
phosphate that might endanger the seed through liberation
of free ammonia
Of course, these features also make it highly effective as
a banded starter But, with only slight adaptation of most
planters, it can be applied directly with the seed in exacting
measurement for safety and maximum response.
With this kind of control, you apply much less material
only 1/3 the amount needed for banding And the reduced
material handling could cut your planting time in half!
So, save time, trouble, and money at planting time. See US i
soon about applying STARTER SPECIAL this spring as a i
dry “pop up”. ;
