WHY UNIPEL 9
20-10-10/24-8-8/21-7-14
fertilizer is great for
planter applications:
Is one of your aims to produce high corn yields while re
ducing fertilizer application rates and expense? Then
consider a planter application of high N analysis UNIPEL
fertilizer to yield the best return oh your fertilizer dollar.
Where soil test P & K availabilities are high to excessive,
use UNIPEL 20-10-10 or 24-8-8 through the planter to
supply the 20 to 40 Ibs./A. of phosphate and potash
necessary for a vigorous corn start, and at the same
time, supply most or all of the N your corn crop will need
to produce a top yield. This program has been proven
effective compared to traditional high rate broadcast
programs. Get together with your UNIPEL dealer to find
how the planter applica-
tion can YIELD
