Designed for pastoral agriculture with better handling and mixing properties
Used in forage cropping and vegetable production as well
Will not cause germination injury to seed when applied at recommended rates
Uses
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 Phosphate, Sulphur and small amount of Magnesium. It is often used for sowing directly with pasture seed, as it will not cause germination injury when applied at recommended rates.
Application rates and advice
Actual spreading rates will vary according to farm type, climate, productivity and soil type. Soil testing and fertiliser plans are available to ensure you use the right product at the correct rate. Call our Customer Centre for information.
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.
As with most solid fertilisers, Serpentine - Drilling Super can be stored over a season as long as it is kept in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Store bags in a dry place ensuring they are tightly sealed.
