Andersons - 4-22-0 SmartPhos Dispersing Granules - SGN 75 - 40 LB BAG

Product Label Download SDS

Smartphos DG will greatly reduce ball, shoe and mower pickup on golf turf when irrigating at a minimum of 0.2" after application. This product should be used when a soil test has been conducted, within the last 36 months, and the test indicates that the soil is deficient in plant available phosphorous or the intended use is for establishing grass or repairing damaged grass during the growing season in which the grass is established.

DG Technology

With DG Technology, particles are more rapidly and efficiently broken down. Upon contact with water, each DG granule disperses into thousands of micro particles that move through the turf canopy into the root zone. This level of dispersibility delivers precise nutrient delivery, while eliminating issues associated with runoff and nutrient loss.

Optimized Nutrition

No Mower Pickup - Following irrigation, DG products immediately begin dispersing down into the soil, eliminating mower pickup and delivering 100% of the applied nutrients right where you need them. Mower pickup of conventional granular fertilizers is reported to be as high as 15-25%.

No Particle Movement - DG products disperse quickly and completely when watered, moving directly into the soil. In a heavy rain or over-irrigation, conventional fertilizers may float and be carried off the intended application area, or be deposited in low lying areas, where they may cause damage.

No Mower Damage or Residual Shells - DG particles do not rely on a physical coating to release nutrients. Coated fertilizers (used by our competitors) are very susceptible to damage from mowers, resulting in premature nutrient release.

Improved Playing Conditions

Less Interruption of Play - The fact that products utilizing our DG Technology require less watering to disperse the nutrient granules means that you can enjoy less downtime, along with a drier and firmer playing surface.

No Sticky Residue - With DG Technology, you can enjoy a line of products that melt directly into the soil. The result is no sticky fertilizer residue, which can accumulate on shoes, balls and other equipment.

Humic Acid Precursor

Humic acid precursor contains a soluble form of organic carbon which releases into the soil as Nutri DG and DG Pro granules disperse. Through biochemical reactions in the soil, humic acid precursor is transformed into humic and fulvic acids, which help chelate nutrients in the soil. The optimum rate of humic acid precursor is applied when Nutri DG and DG Pro are applied at label rates.

Active Ingredient: Plant nutrients derived from magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate.

Application

40 LBS feeds 17,300 SQ FT (0.40 acre) with 0.5 LB P2O5/1,000 SQ FT at the LOW RATE (2.3 LBS/1,000 SQ FT )
40 LBS feeds 8,600 SQ FT (0.20 acre) with 1.0 LB P2O5/1,000 SQ FT at the MEDIUM RATE (4.6 LBS/1,000 SQ FT )
40 LBS feeds 5,700 SQ FT (0.13 acre) with 1.5 LB P2O5/1,000 SQ FT at the HIGH RATE (7.0 LBS/1,000 SQ FT )

It is recommended that this product be applied to dry turf only. Use at HALF the rate of normal phosphorous applications. Cold weather (lower than 7°C/45°F) can result in slower particle dispersion. Apply at the LOW to HIGH during the growing season or for seeding. Use the LOW or MEDIUM RATE during mid-summer.
Exception: On bentgrass and Poa annua, apply at the LOW RATE if temperatures are 85°F or above.

Product selection and application rates should be based on individual grower practices. Some factors that influence selection include:

• Climate
• Specific Crop
• Type of Growing Media
• Other Nutrient Sources
• Irrigation Type
• Rainfall Amount

See Label for complete application instructions.
