The Planters II Mineral
Other Minerals?
Many people ask us why we only list seven minerals when
our product contains more. The seven we list are tested and
proven to promote healthy plants and livestock. In fact,
based on these minerals, we, unlike many other companies, are able to
register our product as an actual fertilizer that works. This registration
is not a trivial task. Both legally and consciously, we cannot make claims on
other minerals that are not proven and accepted as beneficial. Accept no
substitute, only go with a product that is proven to work
and approved by the appropriate agencies.
The mineral is a highly metamorphosed fresh water evaporate of the
Mississippian-Pennsylvanian geologic transition period.
It is approximately 30% water soluble in the first hour, the
balance becoming available during the normal crop season, a
natural time released fertilizer.
There is no geological name for the mineral. The minerals are
plant available, non-toxic(LD50>4gms/kg), they do not leach
from the soil, and are size compatible with current
fertilizer spreaders (-8+12 mesh), weighing approximately
84lbs/cu ft in granular form.
You will be able to see results in the regular growing
season in the form of increased plant vigor, a
larger root system, increased drought resistance,
increased chlorophyll, higher protein in grains and hay,
larger grain heads, better flavor in fruit and vegetables,
higher yields and better soil tilth.
Calcium (Ca)
promotes early root formation
and influences intake of other plant foods.
Compared to gypsum Planters calcium is 20 times more reactive.
