Fall-plowed
UNIPEL
fertilizer
yields benefits all other three seasons.
A Unipel Single Application for Fall plowdown provides basic com fertility for the
next growing season with these benefits:
• Eliminates Spring soil compaction (often responsible for significant yield
reductions), saves your valuable Spring time for planting;
• Two forms of Nitrogen provide both quick response and continuous feeding for
com plants through planting and growing seasons;
• Long-lasting form of Phosphate resists fixation in acid soils, remains readily
available for plant use during the growing season;
• The chemical combination of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in a pellet enhances
Phosphate uptake by the plant and increases overall fertilizer efficiency,
• Low calcium-carbonate equivalent helps maintain more favorable soil pH and
reduces liming costs
