  • Use to reduce phosphorus tie-up by of Ca2+, Fe3+ or Al3+.
  • Use to supplement a well-balanced soil fertility program.

What to Expect?

  • Improved root and shoot development and crop establishment.
  • Strong advantage of the crop over the weeds.
  • Enhanced tolerance to early season environmental stress.
  • Less signs of phosphorus deficiency on the seedlings (purpling).
