Description
17-18-5 special fertiliser for corn is formulated for maize and corn, a crop that grows fast, roots deep and removes a great deal of nutrient in a short season. Corn is unforgiving of a shortage at rapid growth, so this analysis is built around carrying the crop through that period rather than feeding it evenly across the year. Phosphorus leads this analysis at 18%, against 17% nitrogen and 5% potassium. Phosphorus is the establishment nutrient – root development, early vigour, flower and seed set – and it moves very little in soil, so it has to be placed where young roots will find it. A phosphorus-dominant analysis is a sowing and planting product rather than a mid-season one. 40 units of nutrient in total. Supplied in bulk, bulka bags or bagged, minimum order 10 MT, delivered Australia-wide and shipped worldwide. A Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet are issued against the batch you receive.
