1st Products Dry Fertilizer Applicators are designed to accurately meter dry granular material; blended fertilizers are produced from mixing basic primary fertilizers and other natural materials or additives to produce a desired formula. All fertilizer and additive materials are not necessarily compatible and some blends may produce undesirable effects when mixed together. These compatibility problems can include chemical reactions and physical effects which can cause handling difficulties, moisture migration, and stickiness giving rise to caking tendency. The undesirable effects of some blends may make the product unusable in dry fertilizer applicators.
