McGeary Organics 3-5-3 has a high phosphorous level, essential for good root development. It is recommended for early planting when soil temperatures are still cold and phosphorous deficiency a problem. Row application promotes vigorous seedling start that jumps ahead of weed growth. McGeary Organics 3-5-3 is a multi-nutrient blend with high-quality compost as its base. Other ingredients include colloidal phosphate, Langbeinite (potassium magnesium double sulfate), porcine blood meal, steamed bone meal, and plant protein products. Together with the compost, these add needed secondary nutrients. They are released slowly, reducing loss from leaching. It is OMRI listed for organic production and conforms to NOP standards. Rate of Application: for best results, refer to a recent soil test. Rates are based on the nutrient needs of moderately high yielding crops being grown in soils of low to moderate fertility. Soils that have been well fertilized in the recent past, or have received manure or compost within the past year should be fertilized at rates lower, in some cases considerably lower, than those listed here. General: 400 lbs/acre Corn: up to 600 lbs/acre, based on manure applications and soil test. Put in row at planting. Small Jug Contents: Approximately 4 lbs (Weight varies per shipment due to moisture content.)
