Agway Energy Products Introduces Leaded-Gasoline Replacement
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Major
refiners are now starting to elimi
nate leaded regular gasoline from
their product lines due to limited
consumer demand. These actions
are leaving many Northeast farm
ers without an adequate fuel to run
their older equipment. To meet the
needs of this market Agway Ener
gy Products is introducing Power-
Shield Plus TM, an 89-octane

Burn Of Seed
DeKALB, IL. ‘Two conse
cutive years of dry top soils have
intensified the effects of improper
fertilizer placement within the
seed zone,” said a seed company
agronomist. “The result is fertiliz
er salt injury causing the death of
germinating seed, poor early root
development, severe stand reduc
tions and significant yield losses,”
stated Rick of Dekalb-
Pfizer Genetics.
“Injury is due to nitrogen, phos
phorus and potassium fertilizers,
with ‘high salt indexes’ being
placed too near the seed or young
plant root systems.” Mason
explained. “Soil moisture moves
from zones of low to high salt con
centration. When the salt concent
ration inside the seed or root is
lower than “salty” soil around it,
the seed is prevented from germi
nating; or the young com plant
wilts and dies from the lack of
ability to take up moisture.”
“Salt damage is more likely to
occur when a dry period follows
spring plantings having normal
moisture,” according to the seed
company specialist. “Moisture
evaporating within the seed or
root zone leaves a highly concen
trated salt solution near growing
plant tissue.”
Mason advises the best way of
avoiding the sale injury risk is
proper fertilizer placement at
planting. Adjust equipment so
placement averages 2 inches to the
side and 2 inches below the seed
or seedling. Farmers should also
apply anhydrous ammonia, high
or low ammonia pressure nitrogen
solutions, diammonium phosphate
and urea at least one week before
planting to avoid seedling
damage.

Power Shield Plus provides
valve seat protection at low-lead
levels equivalent to that of a
leaded gasoline while maintaining
the higher 89-octane needed for
older engines. It also helps clean
up carburetors, injectors and fuel
systems and keeps them clean.

oxides protects valve seats against
impact and abrasion. Convention
al unleaded fuels do not provide
this protection and their use can
result in a loss of power and fuel
economy. Eventually, the valves
will no longer seal effectively and
the cylinder head will probably
have to be replaced.
