Description
NovaTec® N-Max 24-5-5 is a high-quality fertiliser with a nitrification inhibitor to reduce nitrogen leaching and increase fertiliser efficiency. It can be used on grassland, grazing paddocks, pastures, and hay fields. NovaTec N-Max feeds grass for a period of 4-10 weeks and is formulated to be low in potassium and phosphorus so is ideal for use on soils with a good supply of these nutrients. Two sources of nitrogen are used in the fertiliser alongside the nitrification inhibitor to ensure even nutrient release over a 4-10 week period.
Each granule of NovaTec N-Max fertiliser contains the three major nutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium which support strong, healthy leaf and root growth and improve stress resilience. Magnesium and sulphur are also included in the formulation to assist with photosynthesis and effective use of nitrogen.
