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.
CROP
Soybeans • Improves and increases pod set Up to 12 bu/A
• Hastens maturity

Easy to Apply with Post-Emerge Chemicals
Nutra-Flo foliar plant food can be piggy-backed with most insecticide and herbicide
