Nutri-Phos Guano contains 13% phosphorus, which will not lock up and become insoluble. It also contains 30% calcium and good trace element levels, including 1400 ppm of zinc.
Nutri-Phos Guano can be used in planting blends as 30% of the phosphate component is immediately plant-available. Reactive rock phosphate can take two years to release its phosphorus load, and in alkaline soils it will never become plant-available.. Nutri-Phos Guano, by contrast, combines rapid-release characteristics with a controlled release pattern, to ensure adequate phosphate supply throughout the season

Benefits
- Combines rapid-release characteristics with a controlled release pattern, to ensure adequate phosphate supply throughout the season.
- Ideal for use as a granulated starter P.
- Contains a significant percentage of citrate-soluble phosphate and can be used as a highly effective starter phosphate. Almost 5% of the 13% phosphorus content of Nutri-Phos Guano is citrate-soluble, and this is plenty for vigorous root growth.
- Cadmium-free - unlike chemically treated commercial phosphates, which contain problem levels of the heavy metal cadmium, Nutri-Phos Guano is virtually cadmium-free.
- Has tremendous potential for cost-effective supplementation of live stock, as it contains less than 0.2% flouride.
- Biological Farmers of Australia (B.F.A.) Registered Product 456AI.
