Corn results with Uniper 20-10-10 will outweigh “bargain programs.” Don’t be fooled by prices for the “cheaper spread” when you’re planning a corn fertilizer program The great differences you’ll observe and get by using a good Umpel program vs bargain blends will cost less in the long run and return more We have results showing that a heavy Spring application of Umpel 20-10-10 not only reached the goal but yielded up to 30 bushels an acre more than a blend of the same 2-1-1 analysis made from ammonium nitrate, 0-46-0 and 0-0-60 The difference of $12.15 invested in Umpels returned an additional profit over $B5 above fertilizer investment On a per ton basis, the Ortho Umpel 20-10-10 produced an extra $195 worth of corn Umpels combination of 2 forms of Nitrogen and Phosphorus, with Potash, in each pellet provides a lot of plant-growing advantages One is that both Nitrogen and Phosphorus occur in quick-acting and long-lasting forms to give a fast growth ‘ kick’ at the start—even in cool weather—and then feed continuously throughout the season The intimate chemical combination of Nitrogen and Phosphorus "interacts’’ to increase Phosphorus uptake 50% more than separate or blended applications of N & P The Phosphorus in Umpel 20-10-10 is able to resist Phospho rus fixation m the soil and feed continu ously, even in low-P and acid soils So. when thinking about corn fertilizer this Spring, think Umpel results not blend bargains We II gladly recommend a Umpel 20-10-10 program that will make you signif icantly better off in yields and profits P.
