Lesco PolyPlus MOP Starter Fertilizer

This formula features a high phosphorus content (24%), which is essential for stimulating strong root development in newly seeded lawns. It provides the specific nutrients young grass needs to establish itself before transitioning to a standard maintenance fertilizer.

One 50 lb bag is designed to cover up to 12,000 square feet. Be sure to calibrate your spreader according to the bag's instructions to ensure even distribution across your entire seeding project.

The Nitrogen Optimizing System is designed to improve nutrient uptake and efficiency. It allows for a more controlled, slow-release feeding, which helps maintain a consistent green color for your lawn over a longer period.

While it is formulated as a starter fertilizer for new grass, it can be used on established lawns if you are looking to address phosphorus deficiencies or promote root growth. However, for general maintenance of mature grass, you may eventually want to switch to a fertilizer with a different NPK ratio.

This product utilizes a slow-release formulation. This is beneficial for new grass as it provides a steady supply of nutrients rather than a sudden surge, reducing the risk of burning delicate seedlings.
