DESCRIPTION:POLYON®, POLYMER-COATED UREA (PCU), IS A NEW ADVANCEDFERTILIZER COATING TECHNOLOGY WHICH VERY PRECISELYCONTROLS THE RELEASE OF NUTRIENTS TO MEET THE
PROLONGED FEEDING REQUIREMENTS OF TURFGRASS AND
ORNAMENTALS.

BENEFITS: POLYON® 42:lllll

all the nutrients (100%) are controlled-release, no immediate release.
turf response of 12-16 weeks can be expected. All the nutrients are released during that time
period, (no unreleased portions remaining).
is very tough and durable. Polyon resists breakage during blending, bagging and spreading.
No quick premature release of nitrogen to burn foliage from cracked or damaged particles.
release mechanism by osmosis for a constant gradual diffusion of nutrients through the ultra
thin polymer coating.
Release is unaffected by varying amounts of soil moisture, microbes or pH levels.
is environmentally sound technology. Metered release of nutrients closely match plant nutrient
uptake capacities.

NOTE: POLYON 42 is 100% controlled release, no initial quick green-up should be expected. Allow approximately 5 to 7
days for visible turf response. Adequate phosphorus and potassium should be available for optimum plant growth.
GROUNDCOVER: Broadcast at 4 lbs. per 1,000 sq.ft. (1/2 lb. per 100 sq.ft.).
SHRUBS & EVERGREENS: Sprinkle 1/2 cup evenly around dripline of plant and work into top 1 inch of soil.
TREES: Apply 1/2 lb. per 1 inch of trunk diameter. Distribute evenly under branches out to dripline.
TREE & SHRUB NURSERIES: In early spring, as soon as soil is passible, broadcast at 300 lbs. per acre between rows. Adjust
P & K according to soils. For nursery and forestry seed or propagation beds, apply 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. along with adequate
phosphate and potash.
CONTAINER & GREENHOUSE SOIL MIXES: Seedlings–1/2 lb. plus 1 lb. superphosphate and 1/2 lbs. sulfate of potash or otherlow salt index equivalent per cubic yard of mix.
NOTE: Liquid measuring cups are very close in estimating the weight of dry granular fertilizers.
Example: an 8 oz. (1 cup) measuring cup holds approximately 8 oz. of dry granular fertilizer.

APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS:ll

Keep away from pools, ponds, etc. Do not contaminate potable water.
Do not apply with a drop type spreader. The grinding action of these spreaders can destroy thecoating of Polymer-Coated Urea and can cause burn potential.
