Why Agroblen® Total performs better:• Nutrients supplied with Agroblen® Total are released constantly across the crop cycle. This results in
better crop uptake effieciency, root quality and higher yield. • Conventional uncoated fertilizers are inefficient often at a level 25-50%, Agroblen® Total meters out all
applied nutrients evenly and predictably across crop critical stages, maintaining optimum N, P, K levels in soil solution, even following heavy rains.
• Proven performance year after year.
