Maximizing Phosphorus Use Efficiency
ANALYSIS (9-32-2 WITH STARTER TECHNOLOGY™)
What is It?
- Starter fertilizer for in-furrow.
- High Phosphorus content.
- Formulated with 70% Ortho- (readily available form) and 30% Poly-phosphate (converts slowly as soil warms up).

- No chloride.
- Seed safe.
- The product is available in bulk, 450L and 1000L IBC’s.
When & Why Use It?
- When seeding into cold and wet conditions.
- In soils with high levels of Ca2+, Fe3+ or Al3+.
- Use to improve early-season availability and uptake of Phosphorus.
- 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).
