am the advantages of Land Storage The fall application of fertilizer puts plant nutrients right where they re needed when they re needed regardless of the condition of your fields in spring It Land Storage good agronomics a well good economics Good agronomics is good economics With the bulk of your potash and a fair chunk of the phosphate ploughed down you can use a sound starter fertilizer such as a kgha of Com Starter to get plants started and then the fertilizer takes over Does Land Storage fertllizfr Include any nitrogen Some nitrogen from dlammonium phosphate may be positioned but only because this source Is the cheapest source Under Ontario conditions fall applied nitrogen is only onehall to twothirds as effective as spring applied nitrogen Land Storage fertilizer Is mainly phosphate and potash Will phosphate and potash by leaching over the winter No Phosphate and potash are tightly held by soil particles The only way a loss can occur is if you have erosion problems and actually lose soil Because phosphate and potash move little In the soil Land Storage means these nutrients are placed where the crop roots can take them up With cost of money today does it pay me lo

Green Plan The Green Plan Is designed to help you produce bigger and more economical crop yields Sound agronomics dictates placing fertilizer where it can best be utilized by the plant Land Storage
