Liquid.
Easy way to feed and weed.
Knock off two important jobs in one.easy
trip. Just add a proper herbicide to Arcadian
Golden Ur\.\® or SLF mixed liquid fertilizer
while the circulator pump is running, and
weed as you feed in one trip over your field.
One feed and weed application can do away
with several time-consuming cultivations and
die resulting crop thinning, root damage and
soil compaction.
Your crops grow faster when roots don’t
ha\e to compete with weeds for plant food
and moisture And the bigger \ lelds are easier
to hanest in weed-free fields.
Only liquid makes feed and weed so easy.
It's easier still when you have us do the job
lor >ou. Our custom application will free you
