How do I know my crop needs magnesium sulphate?
Older, lower leaves turn yellow between the veins while the veins stay green. CNF Magnesium Sulphate supplies 9.5% magnesium and 12% sulphur, and can go on the soil, through drip or as a foliar spray. More about magnesium sulphate.
Is CNF Booster a fertilizer?
No. Booster is a granulated bentonite soil conditioner. It helps soil hold water and the nutrients you apply. More about Booster.
How much should I apply per acre?
The label dose for PROM, PDM and Booster is 300 to 400 kg per hectare, about 120 to 160 kg (two and a half to three bags) per acre. Water-soluble grades depend on crop and stage; ask us for a schedule.
Can I mix CNF products with other fertilizers?
PROM, PDM and Booster can go in together as a basal dose. In a drip tank, do not mix calcium nitrate with phosphate or sulphate grades.
How should I store the bags?
In the original bag, tightly closed, in a dry, airy place off the floor and away from other chemicals.
