Rustica Red

A compound NPK fertiliser for dry spread application that meets the complete nutritional demand of fruit, vegetables, flowers, vines, turf and ornamental crops with a high phosphorus demand. Containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, calcium, zinc and boron.

Nutrient Forms:

Nitrogen is present as both nitrate and ammonium. The readily available nitrate-nitrogen gives an immediate growth response, while more slowly available ammonium-nitrogen ensures a long lasting effect.

Phosphorus is in a soluble form, allowing ready uptake by plant roots and is essential for establishment and early development.

Potassium is present as sulphate of potash only, which makes the product chloride free.

Secondary Nutrient and Micronutrients are present in amounts tailored to horticultural production.

Material Safety Data Sheet

Advantages:

Campbells Rustica Red has the ideal nutrient ratio for a vast range of horticultural crops.

Rustica Red is suited to sustained, long term farm production as it has a low salt index and hence minimizes the potential to scorch. It is near neutral in its effect on soil pH, which helps maintain a productive soil environment.

Rustica Red is a true compound fertiliser, not just a mixture of different fertiliser blended together. The consistent granule size range allows for uniform with no separation of nutrients.

Application:

Campbells Rustica Red is ideal as a base or top dressing. It is non-dusting, free flowing product that can be applied as a band or broadcast or can be incorporated into the soil or growing medium prior to planting.

Rates:

General rates for horticultural crops are between 150-600 kg/ha. The actual rates and number of applications and their timing will vary considerably for different crops and for different districts.  As with any fertiliser program, it is best to seek advice from your Campbells Rustica Red or your local agronomist.
