Split Field Test Results
In split field test trials PowerRich consistently out performs the regular PKS fertilizer program. The single most important reason is that PowerRich is fortified with a full spectrum of micronutrients in a form that is usable by the crop.
Plants require a wide variety of nutrients for maximum growth, health and yield. By adding PowerRich to your present Nitrogen fertilizer program, you'll be stage feeding your crops with a complete, balanced fertilizer in a form that is usable by your crop. Granular, soluble and foliar blends are all available to fit your existing application methods.
| All growing plants require these nutrients in a balanced, readily-available form. |

Peas & Lentils: Apply 10 - 20 lbs/acre of PowerPak (6-17-17) with the seed. Foliar feed prior to flowering with 5 lbs/acre of PowerFol (23-17-17). This may lengthen podding time and increase seed set.
With all crops use PowerRich in conjunction with your regular Nitrogen program. |
Alfalfa: With the PowerRich Balanced Fertility Program, protein and glucose content may be consistently higher. As well, finer stems and more leaves may give you a higher tonnage per acre.
For established stands Foliar feed with 5 lbs/acre of PowerFol (23-17-17) after each cutting |

Testimonials
| "From the wheat grown from the PowerRich program we were awarded the No. 1 Aggregate prize at the Lethbridge [Alberta] Agribition." Darrell McElroy, McElroy Seed Farm |
| "I wanted to let you know how we are doing with the PowerFol foliar fertilizer on alfalfa. We treated 120 acres of Alfalfa with 5 lbs/acre of PowerFol foliar. We left one check strip (0 lbs/acre) and one strip we went with 10 lbs/acre. The visual differences were... dramatic. [T]he most convincing viability of this product... was the fact that this field regrew well enough to get a third cut while the remaining acreage... did not regrow sufficiently to get that critical third cut." Kent Lamoureux, Sturgeon Valley Fertilizers Ltd. |
