GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:

NACHURS 3-18-18-1 is manufactured by utilizing quality raw materials including ammonia, urea, phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide to provide a very agronomically efficient source of N-P-K. The quality of the raw materials used to formulate NACHURS 3-18-18-1:

• maximizes plant nutrient solubility
• minimizes salt index
• minimizes equipment corrosion
• allows good cold weather storage
• is plant safe at recommended rates

One hundred percent of the phosphate is present in the orthophosphate form that is immediately available for plant absorption and metabolism. During times of limited phosphate and potassium availability (eg: cold and wet spring soil conditions present at planting), NACHURS 3-18-18-1 provides a phosphate and potassium source that is positionally and nutritionally available.

SELLER WARRANTS THAT THE ABOVE PRODUCT CONFORMS TO ITS CHEMICAL DESCRIPTION AND IS REASONABLY FIT FOR THE PURPOSE ON THE LABEL WHEN USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH DIRECTIONS UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE (INCLUDING NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS). NEITHER THIS WARRANTY NOR ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXTENDS TO THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT WHEN USED CONTRARY TO THE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS OR UNDER ABNORMAL CONDITIONS (INCLUDING ABNORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS), AND THE BUYER ASSUMES THE RISK OF ANY SUCH USE. NACHURS STARTER OR FOLIAR APPLICATIONS ARE INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT EXISTING SOIL FERTILITY PROGRAMS AND WILL NOT BY ITSELF PROVIDE ALL THE NUTRIENTS NORMALLY REQUIRED BY AGRICULTURAL CROPS.

 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

NACHURS 3-18-18-1 can mix with many crop production products.

• In a small container prior to full scale mixing, proportionally mix all the components to confirm compatibility.
• Thorough mixing of all blends is important.
• Temperature and storage time can influence the degree of success.
• Mix only the amount that will be immediately used.
• Long-term storage is not suggested.

NACHURS programs offer the following foliar products: micronutrients, N-P-K fertilizers, and slow release nitrogen products.

 

IN-FURROW RECOMMENDATIONS:

 

FOLIAR FEEDING GENERAL GUIDELINES*:

Corn: 1-3 gallons per acre. Foliar apply at the 3rd-5th leaf collar, and then 10-14 days later.**

Soybeans: 1-3 gallons per acre. Foliar apply at the 4th-6th trifoliate, and then 80-85% podset.**

Small Grains, Dry Beans, Sugar Beets and other row crops: 1-3 gallons per acre. Consult your NACHURS distributor or agronomist for specific fertility recommendations.

Vegetable Crops: Use 1-2 gallons per acre with 8-10 gallons of water every 7-10 days on vegetable crops starting 10-15 days after transplant or at 2”-5” tall on seeded crops.

Fruit Trees: Use 1 gallon with 8-10 gallons of water every 7-10 days starting at bud swell in the spring. You can also apply:

• 3-5 gallons at bud swell
• 3-5 gallons after petal fall
• 3-5 gallons 10-14 days later
• 3-5 gallons when fruit is sized***
• 3-5 gallons in the fall before dormancy***

*** 1 gallon 0-0-30 mixed with 3-18-18-1 is very beneficial at this stage.

What You Should Know When
Comparing Starter Fertilizers!

Is your 9-18-9 or 3-18-18 a premium starter? The above samples all represent the same fertilizer analysis, which proves that starter fertilizers come in all colors and viscosity. However, it’s what is in the starter that counts during planting and at harvest. Now, looking at the samples above, which starters would you apply through your liquid fertilizer equipment? We’ve all heard the saying, you get what you pay for, and that holds true for fertilizer too. That’s right, just because the analysis is 9-18-9 or 3-18-18 does not mean it is the same product. And just because a fertilizer is clear, it does not mean it does not have heavy metals or impurities.

A good sales representative can fool most of us, but they will not fool your crop. Bottom line: good raw materials are key to making a quality product! NACHURS® products are manufactured with the highest quality raw materials to provide available nutrients, seed safety, precision placement, and are corrosion-free. It’s these characteristics that make NACHURS liquid starters truly unique! Now let’s take a look how some fertilizer manufacturers are cutting costs on phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen

 

Phosphorus Sources:

Substitute 10-34-0 for superphosphoric acid.

• The more 10-34-0 the less ortho (available P) in the product
• By substituting 10-34-0, product price can be lowed by up to $.30/gallon

Substitute “spent acid” for superphosphoric acid.

• Spent acid is acid that has been used primarily for etching metal in the automobile industry. It contains high levels of heavy metals that could be toxic to seeds and/or other crops.
• By substituting spent acid, product price can be lowered by up to $.50/gallon.

Potassium Sources:

Substitute KCL (muriate of potash) for KOH (potassium hydroxide)

• Substituting KCL could change the agronomic performance and physical characteristics of the product. It could raise the salt index level, which could harm seed germination.
• By substituting KCL, product price can be reduced by up to $.20/gallon.

Nitrogen Sources:

• There are many different suppliers of urea, both foreign and domestic, with varying specifications in terms of quality and seed safety (biuret)
• Substituting high biuret urea would decrease nitrogen cost but jeopardizes seed safety
• Ammonium nitrogen dramatically increases P uptake
• Substituting cheaper grades of aqua ammonia can sacrifice quality
