WHAT IT DOES
What, Specifically, will Calphos do?
By offering growing plants a constant, non
leachable source of phosphorus and trace
minerals capable of absorbing its own weight
in moisture, Calphos spells lush and greener,
more drouth resistant growth. Calphos also
stimulates early root formation, hastens
maturity and encourages growth of ear
thworm and soil bacteria populations. Since
phosphorus is the one element most lacking
in most soils, its use is a must for maximum
results.

WHEN TO SPREAD
When should Calphos be put out?
Whenever time permits. Many farmers
spread it in the fall, during: the slack days
following harvest, since Calphos is not water
soluble and winter rains will not wash it
away.

grows better with
MiHer said he “really likes
farming and Angus cattle.”
-He wishes there was more
profit in the investment a
farmer puts out for “the only
thing the government can
trade in a foreign country.”
Robert Miller is a man
genuinely interested and
concerned with the welfare
of the American farmer.
