NITROGATION SERVICE
Your distributor metera Shell NH,

directly into the irrigation water. From
his experience with local crops, he knows
exactly how much ammonia to apply.
Then the nitrogen-rich ammonia, in
Vie proper concentration, is distributed
evenly by the water. . . soaks with the
water into the soil where it immediately
begins to feed the growing plants.
NITROJECTION SERVICE
This is a direct soil-injection of
Shell NH3, made with special

distributor. Again, from his local
experience, he knows the proper
depth to which the ammonia
should be injected, and the exact
amount to be applied. As a result,
the nitrogen-rich ammonia goes
where it will do the crop the most
