Island Phosphate Hi P 0-11-0 (5 lb Box)

Seabird guanos have been used as a fertilizer for thousands of years; collected from the abandoned roosting areas of migratory birds. Seabird guanos high in phosphorus (fossilized) are from deposits accumulated over hundreds of years. The phosphorus is readily available and the high humus content makes it an excellent soil builder. Effectiveness is maximized by foliar application.

• Work or water it into the soil at 5 lb/100 sq ft.
• Use it as a foliar spray or injectable solution by preparing a guano tea: steep 3-5 lb in 5-10 gal of water for 1-2 days. Strain, dilute to 2-4 Tbs/gal of water and spray on plants.
• Tea can be used in fertigation and drip systems, if filtered

How Island Phosphate Hi P 0-11-0 (5 lb Box) fits a fertility plan

• Provides phosphorus to support root development, flowering, seed formation, and fruiting when soil levels and crop demand justify an application.
• Its low or zero nitrogen analysis can fit programs that need phosphorus without a large additional nitrogen input.
• The package size and formulation shown in the title help match the product to planting holes, beds, containers, orchards, or larger areas as allowed by the label.

Application guidance: Phosphorus moves slowly in many soils and can accumulate when overapplied. Use soil-test results, place or incorporate only as directed, and account for phosphorus already supplied by compost and other fertilizers. Follow label rates for the specific crop and growth stage.
