"Food comes from the earth. The land with its waters gives us nourishment. The earth rewards richly the knowing and diligent, but punishes inexorably the ignorant and slothful. This partnership of land and grower is the rock foundation of our complex social structure." W. C. Lowdermilk
Agri-Solutions Starter Fertilizer
Agri-Solutions Foliar Fertilizer
All Agri-Solutions fertilizer has a pH of near 7:
he pH of a fertilizer can greatly change the pH of your soil. At a pH of 6.5-7, the greatest amount of nutrients are released. At Agri-Solutions all of our fertilizers have a near neutral pH of 7 which makes it optimal for creating an efficient soil pH and delivering the most available nutrients to the plant as possible. The chart to the right shows nutrient availability at given pH levels. As shown the majority of nutrients are available at a pH of 6.5-7. Microbial activity is also very sensitive to pH variability. Beneficial soil organisms thrive at a pH near neutral, and suffer in extremely alkaline or acidic soils. These organisms increase the root area, help increase uptake of water and nutrients, help release nutrients that may be tied up in the soil to the plant available form, and aid in the break down of organic matter in the soil.
All Agri-Solutions products are virtually non-corrosive.
