GENERAL
INFORMATION
Hard,
compacted soil and hardpan can be a very expensive problem for
the farmer in many ways.
*Water
standing in fields delays planting.
*Delayed
planting is a delayed harvest.
*May Stunt root growth to
Reduces yields.
*Increases
fuel costs from trying to break up hard soils.
*Adds
stress on equipment.
*Poor
seed germination.
*Poor
root growth.
*Less
air getting to the roots.
S.S.P. is engineered to loosen compacted
soil and break up hardpan, which causes these problems. It is a full 60%
solution of Ammonium Laureth Sulphate, the strongest we know of on the market.
The Competition
While some
products advertised to do the same job, are actually wetting agents that just
help drain excess water, by breaking down water size. This allows the water
to seep into cracks in the soil. Those are only temporary fixes to be
used after every rainfall.
Using
S.S.P. will
increase the downward movement of water which makes it more available to the
plant. The results are:
*More
uniform stands.
*Improved
root growth (by breaking up compaction).
*Allows
more air to get to the roots.
*Reduction
in erosion.
*Easier
tillage.
*Quicker
seed emergence.
*Less
wear on equipment.
*Save
on fuel.
*A
more mellow loose soil.
*Increased
microbial activity, essential in providing healthy soils.
*Detoxifying
soil for improved plant health.
*Improved
water movement for reduced fungus problems.
S.S.P. actually
works on the soil itself to improve flocculation and tilth, thus insuring moisture
movement down and back up around the root system. More growers
are experiencing the results of S S PTM,
with easier tillage in the spring, summer and fall. Saving time,
fuel, and equipment wear / tear.
"No till planting" with S.S.P..
The soil is more loose
and the downward movement of water is increased.
“Optimum
soil conditions means quicker seed emergence, deeper rooting, spring and fall
plowing conditions are greatly improved with more mellow, aerated soil. Also,
increases microorganism activity, loosens hardpan, aids in harvesting with an
improved permeability and reduced plasticity.”
Safe
to use, nontoxic to plants or animals, and bio-degradable.*When used as directed*
EASY
& EFFICIENT TO USE: A little goes a long ways.
SOIL: Apply
at the rate of 12 oz. per 1 acre with a minimum of 50 gallons of water -or-
Apply 1 gal. S S PTM with
sufficient water to cover per 10 acres. With minimum of 100 gallons of water.
Broadcast
directly onto soil via any applicator or irrigation system. Extreme hardpan
may require repeated applications. Can be used as a preventative in a
regular program at the rate of 1 gallon to 30 acres. Use also to prevent
pre-emergence crusting at the rate of 1 gallon to 30 acres. Can be mixed
with most other soil amendments. Jar-test to ensure compatibility. Add
S.S.P. to the tank last to prevent excess foaming.
