It has a high concentration of water-soluble Phosphorus that
gets to young seedlings quickly Helps plants establish a good
root system the starting point for top yields. Its quick-acting
and long-lasting Nitrogen team up to feed the young plants
for full yield potential, continually from sprouting to harvest
This is the Starter Special that corn growers know from good
experience It’s highly effective as a banded starter. And it’s
SAFE .no chance of ammonia damage to tender, young
seedlings when used as a “pop up” and applied directly with
the seed at 50 Ibs./acre
