Serpentine Super is a magnesium-fortified superphosphate product, manufactured at our Awarua plant.
 

The phosphorus, sulphur and magnesium that it contains are readily available to plants, and the product is free of residual acid, which makes it suitable for use when fertiliser needs to be sown "down the spout" with seed. However due to granule size consistency we would not recommend for precision drills.
 

SerpentineSuper® is ideal for use as a maintenance fertiliser in a range of pastoral settings with livestock.

SerpentineSuper is also suitable for use on home gardens to replace macro-nutrients removed when vegetable crops have been harvested.

Benefits
• Suitable for use as a maintenance fertiliser in a range of pastoral settings.
• Contains a very high proportion of citric acid-soluble phosphate, which is slowly released for plant uptake.
• Provides a long-term supply of slowly released magnesium.

Directions for use
SerpentineSuper can be broadcasted, drilled or applied by aerial application to pasture, crop or soil.
Suitable for drilling with seed - however we do not recommend for precision drills.

To avoid animal health issues arising from fluoride poisoning after application of SerpentineSuper, pastures should not be grazed until 25 mm of rain has fallen.
This will be sufficient to wash any fertiliser residues off foliage and into the soil.

Storage information
To maintain product quality, SerpentineSuper should be stored in cool, dry conditions and should not be stored for a prolonged period.

Keep out of reach from children and pets.

WARNING - Avoid placement near waterways.
For detailed advice on good fertiliser spreading practice, see the guidelines in the Code of Practice for Nutrient Management, which can be downloaded from fertiliser.org.nz.
