Nitrophos Fall Special Fertilizer

Nitrophos Fall Special Fertilizer, manufactured by Nitrophos, is a winterizing fertilizer designed to give your turfgrass a boost in growth during the fall and winter months, helping it resist disease growth and quickly green up in the spring.

Its high nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium formula helps promote deep rooting of turfgrass by working as a slow-release fertilizer. Due to this mode of action, the granules provide a slow amount of nutrients needed to repair turf stressed from the previous summer damages and upcoming winter weather.

Nitrophos Fall Special Fertilizer is specially designed for the southern region's St. Augustine and Bermuda grasses. With the necessary amount of nutrients from this long-lasting fertilizer, treated turf will be able to prevent winter diseases while promoting early spring-up.

Tools Needed

You will need a push spreader.  Be sure to follow the proper calibration settings of your sprayer before applying.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Nitrophos Fall Special Fertilizer to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To find the square footage, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Apply 5 lbs. of Nitrophos Fall Special Fertilizer per 1000 sq. ft. 
• Step 2: Based on your calculations, load the appropriate amount of Nitrophos Fall Special fertilizer into your spreader. Read the label for proper calibration settings for your spreader model.
• Step 3: Spread the Nitrophos Fall Special Fertilizer evenly across your lawn and water in. For the best coverage, you may need to do two pass-throughs perpendicular to one another.

Where to Use

Nitrophos Fall Special Fertilizer can be used on St. Augustine and Bermuda turfgrasses on commercial or residential lawns and landscapes.

When to Use

This fertilizer is best-used mid-fall to establish winter hardiness and resistance to disease and other stressors.

Safety Information

Nitrophos Fall Special Fertilizer is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying this product.  

Do not apply where children and pets can come into contact with it until it has been sufficiently watered in and absorbed into the ground surface.

Do not apply this product on turf where animals may graze. 

Special Considerations

After application, it is important to water the Nitrophos Fall Special Fertilizer down immediately so none of the fertilizer is left on the blades of grass. You want to ensure that it reaches the soil to be most effective. If you get any on your pavement or walkways, sweep or wash it off quickly. You will run the risk of staining the pavement or concrete areas if left.
