Protect your fertiliser, protect your yields

Fertiliser enhancers from SFP take your fertiliser investment further. They work all season long to inhibit unwanted soil processes that rob your crop of essential nutrients.

AVAIL® Phosphorous Fertiliser Enhancer forms an active shield around phosphorus, so that more is available to the plant.

NutriSphere-N® Nitrogen Fertiliser Manager helps stop unwanted leaching and volatilisation, keeping more nitrogen available to your crop.

More nutrient availability and uptake can lead to better yields. In field after field, crop after crop, NutriSphere-N and AVAIL have increased yield potential 10– 15%. Ask your dealer or visit www.specialtyfertilizer.com
