Look up the contents listed in the MSDS and see if there's anything different from ordinary liquid starter. Many a planter honey is nothing more than N, P, and K in water with a highly inflated price. Sometimes not even all three.

What Gerald J. said. Most of those products aren't real sound agronomically and are grossly over priced for what you get. Check the analysis tag for the product. That tag should give the analysis per pound. Some unscrupulous venders were giving the analysis per gallon a few years ago but, if the claims they were making had been true those gallons would have weighed 25 to 30 pounds. Granted they are a premium fertilzer product, but in the end it still takes a certain amount of NPK to produce a bushel of grain or a ton of hay.

my son uses it for both corn and beans and it works. After planting you should check root deveolment on treated area vs untreaded. you will be surprised how much better the root growth is on the treated ones. you can see the differnce up to harvest. He has used for 2 years and plans to use in 2012. He is cheap and will use anything that will not make him money.
