Understanding Salt And It's Impact on Plant Material

• Virtually all fertilizers have a salt index (a measure of the salt concentration).
• Sodium nitrate has a value of 100. Either fertilizers have a value less than or greater than sodium nitrate.
• The higher the salt index the potential damage to plant increases.

Smart Nitrogen™ From Nitro-30® is the First Step In Avoiding Salts

• Nitro-30 has the lowest salt index of any nitrogen source.
• Avoid root and foliar salt burn with low salt fertilizers.
• Low volume spray is both safe and highly effective with Growth Products Nitro based fertilizers
• Reduces water usage
• Less trips for refilling tank saving time and labor

Devastating Effects of Salt

• High salts burn both roots and foliage
• Reduces the amount of water available to plant
• Stunted growth
• Continues to accumulate
• Growth becomes water logged and plant becomes more prone to disease

Avoiding Salts

• Use Growth Products low salt products
• Organic products which contains Humic acid, L-amino acids absorb sodium ions.
• Incorporate products that contain high % of organic matter such as Essential Plus into your regular maintenance program.
