There’s an average of 30-40 good
field days in the Fall, 12 in the Spnng So it makes sense to use a
uniform single application of UNIPEL 20-10-10 in the Fall and save
those good Spnng days for com planting
UNIPEL 20-10-10 applied in the Fall aids decomposition and stores
nutrients in the soil for Spnng with little or no nsk of Nitrogen loss
on suitable soils So all of the quick-acting Nitrogen and Phosphorus
in each UNIPEL pellet gives young plants a fast start in the Spring
The long-lasting forms then provide continuous plant feeding
throughout the growing season
Should Fall slip away, Spnng’s not too late for a uniform single
application of UNIPEL 20-10-10
Let’s get together soon to talk about the profit advantages of
ORTHO UNIPEL 20-10-10 in a Fall fertilization program for com
