STARTER SPECIAL is a completely unique product. Here’s 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 in 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 diammomum 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 tw soon about applying STARTER SPECIAL this spring as a dry "pop-up".
