APPLICATION TIMING

Basal dressings, where required, should be applied at seedbed preparation time.
Top dressings should be applied only when the plant can take them up.
Fertilizers should not be applied during periods of heavy rain, waterlogging or unusual climatic conditions when the dangers of leaching or other barriers to immediate take-up are high.
