" THERE’S MORE TO IT THAN JUST NPK"
For over 47 years, fanners throughout the Mid-Atlantic Area from New York to
Virginia have produced millions of dollars of crops using Lebanon Extra fertilizer.
Lebanon Extra is an ammohiated, homogenous, granular NPK fertilizer. With the
increased emphasis on using less and precise applications of plant food, Lebanon
Extra provides the nutrient sources that you can depend on, and not just NPK but also
secondary and six micro-nutrients. The nutrient integrity of Lebanon Extra is superior
to bulk blend fertilizer products. When using row applications or banding accurate
amounts of plant food it can be important to use a safe, quality, uniform grade product.
If you are using a blend with MAP compare the value of Lebanon Extra.
