Super Rainbow 3-7-28 for Peanuts
Super Rainbow 3-9-18 for Peanuts

As a peanut grower, you know that maximum economic yields are the way to profitability.  Outside of weather, nothing influences quality and yields more than your fertilizer program. Peanuts demand high levels of nutrients, particularly as management intensifies. With this in mind, balanced fertilization is critical, and the balanced nutrition in Rainbow fertilizers helps farmers grow the best peanuts possible. When high yields and quality are critical, growers rely on Rainbow to provide the essential nutrients to produce a healthy and bountiful crop. Inside its tiny granular shell, the product contains potassium, magnesium, zinc, boron, manganese, calcium and sulfur. The right combination for the highest quality crops.

A Balanced Diet:

Peanuts need a proper balance of nutrients to grow, and achieve the higher yields of today’s super hybrids. Basic NPK is not enough. A peanut plant needs 13 different plant nutrients to grow to the right size and yield potential. Practically all soils in the coastal plain are in a magnesium, sulfur, manganese, and boron deficient area, so unless a good available secondary & micronutrient source is supplied in your fertilizer, your crop may suffer. The best source for these nutrients especially adequate quantities of Manganese is with a fertilizer that can give you uniform coverage in the fields like Rainbow fertilizers do.

Readily Available Nutrients:

Nutrients in Rainbow fertilizers exist in a highly available water-soluble sulfate form, so they can move quickly through the soil profile to reach peanut roots in time to promote healthy, hearty crops. Rainbow contains 2% Water Soluble Magnesium and 1% Manganese to ensure you achieve higher yields!

Application Recommendation:

There are certain variables you’ll want to consider before applying Rainbow Plant Food to feed your crops. It’s important to know what is already in your soil prior to deciding on additional nutrients. Soil testing is the first step to understanding what your crops need. Knowing what is in your soil will help to avoid over-application of any nutrient, and subsequently avoid a toxicity problem that could negatively impact your yields.

Geographic location plays a big role in soil type and will impact when the ideal time is for you to apply.
