Completely Safe, Will Not Burn Plants
Nutra-Flo "foliar plant food" is completely safe for foliar application.

• made from 100% orthophosphate
• chloride-free
• 100% water soluble
Improves Soybean, Corn & Alfalfa yields
Research shows foliar feeding boosts maturity, quality and yield. Plants get an immediate
source of N-P-K when soil nutrients are unavailable. Large applications of nitrogen, high
organic matter, high or low pH, dry conditions, excess moisture, extreme heat or cold can
reduce macro or micronutrient availability.

Soybeans • Improves and increases pod set Uptol2bu/A
• Hastens maturity

Easy to Apply with Post-Emerge Chemicals
Nutra-Flo foliar plant food can be piggy-backed with most insecticide and herbicide
applications. It meets Monsanto's strict compatibility specifications for combining liquid
N-P-K with Roundup® Ultra for application on Roundup Ready® soybeans.
