About The Product

Using Planters II you will be able to see results in the regular growing season in the form of increased plant vigor, a larger root system, increased drought resistance, increased chlorophyll, higher protein in grains and hay, larger grain heads, better flavor in fruit and vegetables, higher yields, and better soil tilth.

The mineral is a highly metamorphosed fresh water evaporate of the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian geologic transition period. It is approximately 30% water soluble in the first hour, the balance becoming available during the normal crop season, a natural timed released fertilizer.

There is no geological name for the mineral. The minerals are plant available, non-toxic (LD50>4gms/kg), they do not leach from the soil, and are size compatible with the current fertilizer spreaders (-6+12 mesh), weighing approximately 84lbs/cu ft in granular form.

Boron (B)	0.02%	Boron (B): It helps move sugars from cell to cell; controls starch formation; stimulates cell division, flower formation and pollination.
Sulfur (S)	5.00%	Sulfur (S): Raw material for certain amino acids and thus for proteins; necessary for legume nodule formation; raw material for certain oil compounds that give specific odors to some plants such as onions, garlic, mustard, etc.; it is also a raw material for certain protein forming enzymes - it increases oil production in flax and soybeans.
Calcium (Ca)	5.00%	Calcium (Ca): Raw material for material holding cell walls together and to raise pH; aids genetic stability; promotes root hair formation and early growth; stiffens straw.
Cobalt (Co)	0.0005%	Cobalt (Co): Needed by Rhizobium for nitrogen fixation; helps form vitamin B12; improves growth, water movement and photosynthesis; improves boll production in cotton; activates certain enzymes.
Magnesium (Mg)	0.50%	Magnesium (Mg): Raw material for chlorophyll formation; activates enzymes (causes them to function) particularly those involves with nitrogen reactions; it increases oil production in flax and soybeans; helps regulate uptake of other elements.
Molybdenum (Mo)	0.0005%	Molybdenum (Mo): Needed for nitrogen fixation and nitrogen use in the plant, specifically it is needed to make amino acids; it stimulates plant growth and vigor very much like nitrogen.
