03/30/07 Avail through Simplot

Avail is a water soluble additive for granular or liquid phosphorus fertilizer. Specialty Fertilizer Products marketing manger Jake Sanders says Avail provides greater phosphate fertilizer efficiency. SANDERS "Avail acts like a shield and what it does is it protects the fertilizer from the elements in the soil that would normally tie it up and keep it from getting into that plant." Research shows Avail increases phosphate availability and yield and Avail can be used on potatoes, corn, wheat, sugar beets and onions. The JR Simplot Company is the exclusive Western US distributor. SANDERS "Avail can be applied granularly at the dealership level. Just spray it on the blender. Simplot actually has a pre-coated phosphorous that they sell called SSP and also if you're going out liquid wise it can be mixed up and taken out in the field. Just a little bit of recirculation and it's ready to go." Want more info? Go call 888-446-GROW or visit this website, www.specialtyfertilizer.com. SANDERS "Completely biodegradable. Its water soluble, Non toxic and it leaves no environmental footprint. So there's no after effects of Avail. Just good technology and hopefully good yields at the end of the season."
