Description
Serpentine/Drilling Super is a 75:25 blend of Superphosphate and magnesium silicate (serpentine or dunite). The colour of this fertiliser can vary, depending on the source of the components.
Uses and Benefits
Serpentine/Drilling Super was originally designed for pastoral agriculture because of its better handling and mixing properties. However, it is used in forage cropping and vegetable production as well. It is also used for its magnesium content.
Serpentine/Drilling Super is an effective general pastoral fertiliser providing a supply of readily available P, S and small amount of Mg. It is often used for sowing directly with pasture seed, as it will not cause germination injury when applied at recommended rates.
Application
Serpentine/Drilling Super has better granulation than Superphosphate. Its physical properties make it flow better in application machinery. It is important to calibrate your equipment. Serpentine/Drilling Super is compatible with other materials such as Potassium Chloride and even Urea and Ammonium Sulphate.
Pastoral - use to boost pasture growth at 125-500kg/ha
Storage and Handling
Normal care and attention of machinery should be used. Serpentine/Drilling Super can be handled safely and needs no special precautions to be taken.
