Two Year Planting Tablets For Root Zone Feeding Of Trees, Shrubs & Ground Covers.With Minors!Agriform Planting Tablets contain micronutrients derived from sulfates. Micronutrients derived fromsulfates are generally more available during the life of the tablet. This results in more micronutrientsbeing utilized by plants.

How Agriform Planting Tablets WorkThese compact, easy-to-use fertilizer tablets eliminate the need for measuring small quantities of drymaterials, and provide a safe, scientifically complete plant food which feeds for up to two years.

Planting Tablets fill the continuing need of all plants for a full range of nutrients. During the first year ofestablishment, the demand for plant food is not great in terms of pounds of nutrients, but continuousavailability is critical for the development of healthy roots and vigorous top growth.

Roots completely surround Agriform Planting Tablets to pick up the nutrients that are gradually released bythe action of soil bacteria. The absorbed nutrients are transported throughout the plant by the sap stream.

Ureaformaldehyde is the total Nitrogen source, supplying prolonged-release, nonleaching Nitrogen to theplant roots. Adequate quantities of available Phosphorus, Potassium, and secondary and minor elementscomplete the formula.

Soil bacteria acting on the surface of the tablets gradually convert the slow-releasing nutrients to a formthat can be absorbed by the roots. The rate of conversion varies with the soil temperature, just as a plant’srequirement for Nitrogen varies with the season of the year.

Special Advantages• Safe, easy to handle, convenient.• Agriform Planting Tablets feed for up to two years in warm climates. This reduces labor and materials

for reapplications.• The simplicity of premeasured tablets insures uniform and adequate fertilization.• Supervisory time is reduced. Count and placement of tablets can easily be verified by inspection after

installation.• Root zone placement eliminates feeding surface rooted weeds and grass. No surface residue to wash

away.• Leach-resistant properties of tablets protect underground water from pollution.

2. Insert 1 of 3 nail stakes through each of the U-brackets. Nails should rest in the undisturbed soil at the bottom of the tree pit. All nails should fit snug against the side of the rootball. (For hand or machine dug trees, it may be necessary to penetrate 1" – 4" of outer area of the rootball with the nail.)

3. Nail stakes should be driven straight down into the undisturbed soil below the rootball. The nails are now caging the rootball in place, while the top bracket pins the rootball down. After the tree stake is installed, a layer of mulch can be added over the stake. Remove Root Anchor after tree is established.
