Agrotain dry concentrate
Agrotain dry concentrate is available for sale in Canada after a review by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s fertilizer section.
Agrotain dry concentrate has the same active ingredient as the current Agrotain liquid concentrate formulation. The new dry formulation was developed in response to marketplace demand.
With Agrotain’s DC formula, there is less product to handle and store, reducing storage requirements for dealers, distributors and users. Temperature-controlled storage is not required because Agrotain DC can be subjected to freezing temperatures without affecting performance. Handling and mixing in cold weather is also easier.
Agrotain products are licensed and sold in more than 62 countries.
