Harnessing Soil Biology

POWERFUL MICROORGANISMS

The world’s largest biodiversity exists in our soils. Our Biotechnology harnesses this complexity of soil microorganisms, mycorrhizae, organic matter, and organic nutrients into highly stable and condensed liquids and wettable powders. Our key objective is to provide the professional with multifunctional products that will restore depleted, poor soils, to a balanced, bio active and steady environment that improve soil quality and most importantly maintains a healthy environment for healthy thriving plants and turf.

INNOVATION

C6H4(OH)COOH - Also Known As Salicylic Acid

The Greek physician Hippocrates wrote in the 5th century BC about a bitter powder extracted from willow bark that could ease aches and pains and reduce fevers, the first use of salicylic Acid, the key ingredient in aspirin. Today, aspirin is one of the most widely used medications in the world. Plants can benefit from this technology too. Whether a plant is being challenged from abiotic stress, osmotic stress, insects or pathogens, salicylic acid initiates the plant’s defenses against the attack.

HIGH QUALITY INGREDIENTS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE CHELATION

What are the Benefits of Chelation?

Just like the vitamins we use to maintain our health, chelated minerals are easy for the body to absorb and utilize. Plants as well as humans require a health balance of nutrients such as iron, manganese, and calcium. Growth Products “chelates” these micronutrients in a process that combines them into a soluble liquid metal. This allows them to be quickly utilized by turf, trees and other crops to show immediate results. Yellow is the common visual symptom of a plant lacking micronutrients, and can be solved quickly turning a sick plant into a healthy one overnight.

Nitrogen is the nutrient most often deficient in plants and yet it is also the most over applied nutrient. Why is this contradiction? Nitrogen’s erratic behavior and industry’s less than technical approach has led to this waste in nitrogen applications that leach or volatilize. Growth Products slow release nitrogen methylene technology is a strong long carbon molecule that is slowly and systematically released as the plant requires it. It is sticky and adheres to soil and leaves, staying in place and feeding the plant consistently. Many of Growth Products’ fertilizers contain this special methylene nitrogen.

Nitrogen application varies according to climate and grass variety, so be sure to check the appropriate amount of nitrogen to apply per season as each grass variety will be different. Nitro-30 is compatible with most other turf insecticides and fungicides and can be used in place of granular and solubles, providing a non-phytotoxic, slow release nitrogen source. Nitro-30 is an environmentally sound product. You can apply lower nitrogen rates than with granular products while achieving better results.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION :

Nitro-30 Slow Release Nitrogen (30-0-0) Liquid Fertilizer is a safe, reliable, slow release nitrogen solution ideal for turf and horticultural applications. Nitro-30 SRN (30-0-0) provides a stable, highly concentrated liquid nitrogen source for spray applications. Nitro-30 is a reacted UF polymer (ureaform); a nitrogen/carbon chain material that is utilized by soil microorganisms. Nitro-30 is a true solution containing water soluble methylene urea along with small percentages of free urea. Nitro30 provides residual nitrogen release, low volatilization and reduced leaching. It does not contain nitrates. The release of nitrogen from Nitro-30 depends on soil microorganisms, hydrolysis and UV radiation. Since this molecule contains carbon, it provides an energy source for beneficial microorganisms. The nitrogen release works in conjunction with the increase in soil temperature, microbial activity and the plant’s increased need for nitrogen. This form of nitrogen molecule resists leaching and volatilization, making it a cost effective nitrogen source. Nitro-30 is not phytotoxic to plant materials. Nitro-30 contains no suspended particles, NEEDS NO SPECIAL AGITATION, and can be used along with other technical products. It is ideal for fertigation systems and is non-clogging and non-abrasive. Nitro-30 can be safely tank mixed with many acidic and alkaline materials. It is an exclusive proprietary product of Growth Products, Ltd.

Do NOT store below 32o F for long periods of time. Freezing temperatures will cause Nitro-30 to become viscous and coagulate. If frozen, place in warmer temperatures and mix with warm water Nitro-30 will regain its normal fluid state. Freezing does not affect the agronomic quality of this product. Bulk Storage: Nitro-30 can be stored in polypropylene, fiberglass, stainless or mild steel tanks. Heat does not affect this product. Recommended storage temperature for Nitro-30 is 40o F and above. When stored outside for long periods of time in temperatures <32o F it is recommended to dilute the concentrate with water by 10-15% to assure fluidity. If outside temperature is less than 20o F, store inside warehouse. Nitro-30 SRN does not require any special agitation. It is not corrosive to most metals with a slightly alkaline pH and can be used through any irrigation or spray equipment. Dilution: Nitro-30 can be diluted by either adding the concentrate to water or the water to concentrate without any detrimental effects on the final mixed product. Appropriate quantities of water should be added prior to adding potassium and phosphates or pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Mixing: Nitro-30 SRN must first be diluted with water prior to mixing with other nutrients or pesticides. Do not mix concentrated technical materials together without first diluting with water. Care should be taken when blending Nitro-30 SRN with highly acidic materials such as phosphoric acid or ammonium sulfate. Neutralize these materials to a pH of 7 or above. Potassium phosphate, potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, urea and urea ammonium nitrate or phosphorus solutions may be readily blended with Nitro-30 SRN after dilution with water. The following mixing procedures should be used after Nitro-30 has been diluted with water. Add products to mix in this order: 1. wettable powders, 2. flowables, 3. water solubles, 4. surfactants, 5. emulsifiable concentrates. Be sure to agitate during each addition.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Nitro+K combines two important elements, nitrogen, and potassium, for quality turf maintenance. This concentrate solution provides the most efficient and reliable sources of nitrogen and potassium. Nitro+K contains a reacted UF polymer (methylene urea), which is a carbon/nitrogen chain. It resists leaching and volatilization, and provides a food source for soil microbes. Nitro+K is a safe and immediately available potassium source. With the adherence properties of this foliar solution, a turf manager can reduce yearly application rates of N and K by up to 40%, making Nitro+K a cost effective fertilizer for tees, greens, and fairways. Since potassium can be quickly absorbed by leaf tissue, turf will respond within a few days of application. The slow release nitrogen provides consistent nitrogen release without producing flush growth. This reduces unwanted thatch and possible disease problems. Flush growth has been shown to contribute to an unhealthy root system. The production of excess shoot growth takes away energy needed by the plant to produce a healthy root system. Nitro+K does not contain any chlorides, nitrates, or sulfates. This is of special importance, since these will build up unwanted salts in the soil, interfering with seed germination and causing severe plant injury.

Nitro+K is non-corrosive and can be applied through a fertigation system. The use of a product that contains a high amount of slow release nitrogen has been shown to eliminate surge growth that produces unwanted thatch. Nitro+K can be tank mixed with most pesticides. Applications of 22-0-16, in combination with PGRs, have shown to eliminate the unwanted discoloration that often occurs when

Nitro+K liquid fertilizer solution is a safe, low phytotoxic nitrogen/potassium source for all turfgrass applications (including cool, warm and transitional grasses). Nitro+K can be used with other technical materials for foliar applications. It will enhance the adhesion of some fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides (making them rainfast). When used in combination with PGRs, Nitro+K has been shown to reduce the discoloration that commonly occurs with the use of PGRs. Nitro+K is non-corrosive and non-abrasive, and can be used through any fertigation equipment.

TREE CARE RECOMMENDATIONS :

Root Application Rates: For determining tree fertilization rates, measure the trunk diameter of the tree (DBH) 4 1/2 feet above ground. Growth Products liquid fertilizers should be injected into the top 4 to 8 inches of soil where feeder roots extend. Start application of fertilizer approximately 2 - 3 feet from tree trunk and extend the same distance from the drip line. A grid pattern should be laid out, and spacing should be every 2 1/2 ft. A minimum of 5 gallons of tank mix should be applied per inch of tree diameter. Inject approximately 1/2 gal. of fertilizer solution at each point. Trees & Ornamentals: Growth Products liquid fertilizers contain methylene urea, which has an extremely low salt index and resists leaching. 18-0-6 is a true solution and is ideal for root injection and for use through IPM units. Inject no lower than 8" below ground with correctly calibrated fertilizer injector equipment. See Injection Application Rate Chart.

Application

Foliar Turf Applications Rate

Apply 1 – 2 gallons per acre (3 – 6 oz. per Fairways, 1,000 sq. ft.) every 14 to 28 days during active Roughs, Sports growth period. Apply in a minimum of 87 gallons Turf, Sod and of water per acre (minimum of 2 gallons of water Lawns per 1,000 sq. ft).

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Nitro-22 combines the benefits of slow release nitrogen with cost -effect economics of ammonium sulfate. It provides quick absorption by the plant resulting in greener turf, even at low soil temperatures. Use when a liquid type of ammoniacal nitrogen source and sulfur is required. Nitro-22 has a neutral to slightly basic (7.5-8) pH and is a clear liquid solution, containing 22% nitrogen and 4% sulfur. It is compatible with most liquid fertilizer materials. Nitrogen and sulfur are important components of proteins. Sulfur deficiency can affect the plant’s ability to utilize nitrogen for protein synthesis. When applied to soils, ammonium sulfate decomposes quickly in the soil to give sulfate sulfur (SO4-2). This sulfur is immediately available for plant uptake, whereas elemental sulfur (S) must undergo oxidation for longer term release. The advantage of Nitro-22 is that the sulfur needed for plant growth becomes available over several weeks. The sulfur in Nitro-22 will help reduce the pH of soils that are too alkaline.

Fertigation

Apply 1 – 2 gallons per acre (3 – 6 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft.) with the irrigation water. Repeat as needed every 14 days during active growth period.

APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS :

Do not apply Nitro-22 directly on or below germinating seeds such as in a “pop up” fertilizer. Dry soil condition and/or combination with other starter fertilizers may damage germination. Always irrigate with sufficient water to reduce the possibility of fertilizer injury. Avoid application during mid day when temperatures are high. Do not mix Nitro-22 with acids or other acidic materials below a pH of 6. Prior to any fertilizer or pesticide application, all spray

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Recover RX 3-18-18 is a highly soluble foliar, low salt index formulation developed to supplement standard soil fertility practice. It also provides a full 8 oz of Salicylic Acid in every gallon. Recover RX is designed to be used in concert with soil and tissue tests and professional recommendations to manage the nutrient levels and nutrient balance. All Field Crops or Direct Seeded Crops: Recover RX placed immediately under the seed can speed early growth and strengthen young plants. Apply 1 to 3 gallons per acre banded in the seed bed not in direct contact with seed. On light textured or sandy soils (CEC 20 or below) use 1 to 2 gallons per acre. Do not apply directly under seed on cotton. Do not apply to soils with inadequate moisture for germination unless seeds will be irrigated. Warning: Application to soils with in adequate moisture may result in germination problems. Early Applications for Seeded Crops: Applications of Recover RX early in the plant’s life can encourage earlier development, increased growth, vigor and resistance. Recover RX may effectively be applied at the first to second true leaf stage as a directed spray to the small plant. When spraying young plants, use ground application equipment and use “sprayed acres” to determine amounts of spray to be applied.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Palm Pro 12 -4-12 can be used on all palm varieties. Many palm species that are not native have special fertility needs and are more susceptible to developing nutrient deficiencies and diseases. Palm Pro can be used for a low water volume palm program as recommended for urban plantings where paved areas make it difficult to apply large volumes of water. Palm Pro has been formulated and tested for low salts so that it will not injure palms. This program utilizes five times less water than a standard program. Be sure to follow all mixing instruction carefully. Established Palms: The vast majority of palms planted are planted in sandy soils, which have a very low cation capacity and tend to quickly leach nutrients. Established palms require fertilization a minimum of twice per year, ideally four times per year. Palm Pro has an ideal ratio of nitrogen to potassium, which is essential for healthy palms. Palm Pro contains 60% slow release nitrogen, which is important to maintain a continuous feed of nitrogen.

Product Description: ® Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide is a broad-spectrum biological fungicide used for the prevention, control, and suppression of a® broad range of important soil borne and foliar diseases. Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide contains the active ingredient Bacillus subtilis GB03 for the control of Anthracnose (Colletotrichum graminicola), Brown Patch (Rhizoctonia spp.), Dollar Spot (Sclerotinia), Summer Patch (Magnaporthe poae), Fusarium Patch (Fusarium nivale), Pythium (Pythium spp.) and Root ® Rot (Phytophthora). Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide’s unique liquid formulation contains Bacillus subtilis GB03 spores that remain stable for ® more than two years. Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide's rich organic solution acts as a food source to help the Bacillus subtilis multiply and establish colonies. Bacillus subtilis GB03 is a gram-positive (spore-forming) soil bacterium. ® Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide is most effective when applied ® prior to the onset of disease. Use Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide in combination and rotation with chemical fungicides to enhance disease control. To insure optimal results in the field, it is important to store, handle, and apply the product in an appropriate manner. Modes of Action: ® Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide has multiple modes of action in preventing and controlling plant diseases. It produces a broad-spectrum antibiotic (Iturin) that disrupts pathogen cell-wall formation. It is a competitive and fast colonizing rhizosphere bacterium, which occupies the plant’s root hairs preventing the growth and antagonistic effects of soil borne ® pathogens. Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide is known to stimulate phytohormones, which trigger the plant’s systemic resistance to disease ISR (Induced Systemic Resistance), the defense mechanisms of the plant for prolonged periods of time. It is non-selective to plant materials. PGPR (Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria): ® Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide’s Bacillus subtilis GB03 is classified as a Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR are free-living bacteria that have beneficial effects on plants as they enhance rooting and stimulate growth.

INTEGRATED PEST (DISEASE) MANAGEMENT (IPM)

Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide is an important tool in sound dis-® ease management whenever fungicide use is necessary. Apply Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide alone or in combination and / or rotation with chemical fungicides. This will result in reduced susceptibility to disease and overall reduction in the use of chemical fungicides. Consult local agricultural authorities for specific IPM strategies developed for your crop (s) and location. ®

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide is an important tool to prevent the development of resistant pathogens that often occurs with chemical fungi® cide products. Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide’s multiple and unique modes of®action inhibit the pathogen’s ability to develop resistance. Use Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide in combination with lower rates of chemical fungicide for improved efficacy and /or in rotation with chemical fungicides to reduce chemical applications. ®

• STIMULATES ROOT & PLANT GROWTH • CONTAINS 21 NATURAL L-AMINO ACIDS

uble humic acid, humus and cellulose fiber will help to replenish soils that have been depleted of organic matter. Essential will improve poor or subsoil conditions and compaction. Essential will improve plant physiology with sugars, 21 amino acids and nutrients that are not available in N-P-K fertilizers.

FOOD SOURCE FOR MICROBIAL ACTIVITY:

Beneficial microorganisms need organic matter as a food source to survive and increase their population. Essential has a high carbon content that slowly decomposes, restoring organic matter back into the soil. This is especially important in overworked urban settings such as golf courses, estates, corporate sites, and other manicured landscape settings.

ENHANCES PLANT PHYSIOLOGY:

Turf, trees, ornamentals, and nursery and greenhouse stock need more than just N-P-K fertilizers to remain in superior health. Essential contains vitamins, enzymes, carbohydrates, sugars, amino acids and root stimulators (from kelp). These nutrients are absorbed and utilized by the plant to enhance growth, vitality and stress resistance. Essential contains natural plant growth regulators that encourage cell division, root development and seed germination.

REJUVENATES SOIL STRUCTURE :

Essential contains high percentages of active, soluble humates, plant extracts, cellulose fiber and a natural wetting agent which are critical to maintain healthy soil. By adding organic matter back into soils that have been depleted, even the most difficult soil conditions can be improved. These ingredients also reduce compaction and improve cation exchange capacities.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS :

Essential is 100% soluble for spray applications foliar feeding, soil injection, or use in irrigation systems. Essential may be mixed with other technical materials and sprayed in one application, saving labor. Essential can be used on all types of turf grass, shrubs, trees, evergreens and flowering plants, as well as organically grown food crops.

SUGGESTED USES :

USGA Spec Tees & Greens: Essential should be part of the regular maintenance program to increase the organic matter content in soils and feed beneficial soil microorganisms. Essential should be used on newly built tees and greens to increase the cation exchange capacity. Regular use of Essential will improve the ability of sandy soils to hold nutrients. Essential will improve seed germination and stimulate root growth.

Clay Soils: Calcareous soils often lead to compaction and nutrient availability problems because of the lack of organic matter. Fertilizers cannot correct the problem and often lead to the build up salts. Essential’s high concentration of organic matter and natural wetting agent can penetrate the encrusted soil and begin restoration. Apply Essential throughout the entire growing season. Immediately apply after aeration has been completed or top dressing has been applied.

New Seeding & Overseeding

Lawn Care and Landscaping: Essential should be used in conjunction with a regular fertilization program or as a stand alone product when a natural organic program is required. Essential should be applied to all renovated areas and construction sites, where soil has been removed or adequate top soil is lacking. Tree Care: Established trees and ornamentals in urban settings are often deprived of renewable organic matter during the course of grooming. Essential can be used for year round tree care, to enhance liquid and soluble fertilizer programs. Essential should be used in the summer to reduce stress problems. All newly transplanted trees and ornamentals should have Essential applied. Transplants need additional care to promote root development and enhance the uptake of usable nutrients and storage of carbohydrates. Essential will decrease transplant shock and stimulate root growth. In excavation areas and construction sites Essential should be applied at double the normal maintenance rate. Renovation problems such as compaction and lack of microbial activity that result in plant stress and death can be avoided with Essential.

CONTAINS BENEFICIAL BACTERIA

The unique nitrogen source contained in Control De-Thatcher is a synthetic organic compound (carbon / nitrogen molecule). This slowly available nitrogen provides both carbon and nitrogen for soil microorganisms. With the addition of De-Thatcher, the C/N ratio -as it narrows- further encourages decomposition of organic residues. The slow release nitrogen source discourages the formation of additional thatch that is produced as a result of fast release nitrogen sources. Since, De-Thatcher contains 10% SRN, you can reduce the nitrogen rates in your fertility program. M IXING : De-Thatcher can be tank mixed with other technical materials.

Control De-Thatcher is a unique blend of carbon based raw materials, slow release nitrogen from a carbon / nitrogen source and a concentrated source of naturally occurring soil microorganisms. Control De-thatcher contains powerful enzymes that break down specific components of thatch. The breakdown of complex organic materials like thatch is often very difficult because of the high ratio of lignin and cellulose fibers. It requires a balance of naturally occurring soil microbes, select enzymes and an adjustment in the ratio of carbon to nitrogen for this breakdown to occur. Thatch requires microbial activity to break down and become a food source for plant materials. If any one of these elements is missing, thatch formation will increase, severely interfering with the turf's ability to absorb nutrients and water. The specific microbes contained in Control De-Thatcher when applied to the soil produce significant quantities of protease and

(118 - 177 ml per 4 L Media (60 - 118 ml per 4L water) water)

SOIL CONDITIONER:

Turf Applications: Many calcareous soils have very high pH ranges (above 7) that make turf grass maintenance difficult. This also tends to tie up many micronutrients, leaving turf grasses chlorotic. USGA spec sands and top dressings usually have a high pH and need to be lowered to an ideal range of 6 to 6.5 pH. Apply at a rate of 2 to 6 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. on a monthly basis. Some soils contain high levels of minors that are often in an unavailable, oxidized form not available for plant uptake. By applying citric acid solutions, minors can be chelated and made more available for turf grasses. pH reducer can be used in place of sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate. Trees and Ornamentals: Many plant materials prefer acid soil in the pH range of 5 to 6.5. Soil pH is often above 7 from high calcium levels. By applying pH reducer as a root injection or soil drench, soil pH can be lowered slowly and gently without any detrimental effects to the plant materials. Apply at a rate of 2 to 4 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 1 qt. of pH reducer in 100 gal of water. Greenhouse Soil Mixes: pH reducer is an ideal product to help reduce the pH of many soils and soil less mixes.

Hand Watering

How To Determine Buffering Capacity

Rate / Frequency Before adding any other chemicals or fertilizers to tank Highly mix. Begin with the addition of 2 fl oz per 100 gallons Alkaline of tank mix. Measure pH of water to determine shift. Irrigation Add another 2 fl oz of pH Reducer until acceptable pH Water is reached.(60 ml per 400 L water)

WATER PH REDUCER:

Many water supplies have very high pH levels, and continuous application of this water will tend to raise the pH of many soils. By adding citric acid solution, hard water levels can be lowered. This will also reduce the possibility of soil pH drifting upwards. The buffer capacity of every water supply differs. Be sure to slowly add citric acid to a tank mix and check with a pH meter or litmus paper until the desired pH is reached. If tank mix is not used the same day it is mixed, be sure to check pH again and adjust if necessary.

EQUIPMENT & TANK CLEANING :

Mixing: pH Reducer is acidic. It must first be diluted with water prior to mixing with other nutrients or technical materials. pH reducer should not be added in concentrate to highly alkaline materials. Hard and alkaline water sources will leave residues and mineral build up on tanks, lines and irrigation heads. Flush tanks and lines with a solution of 1 gallon citric acid to 100 gallons of water. Follow by flushing with water to rinse out lines to clean out drip irrigation systems. Manufactured By:

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

KnockOut is a new and unique combination product that contains readily available calcium and a natural surfactant/wetting agent from yucca. It is an effective tool to reduce sodium levels in soils or bicarbonate accumulation from irrigation water. KnockOut quickly penetrates even the most difficult soils. It will also increase the permeability of soils while reducing soluble salts that build up in soils from high water salinity. It can be used on soilless media where excessive salt build up often occurs from continued use of pesticides and high salt fertilizers. Soil salinity is one of the most serious turf problems especially, in high pH soils. KnockOut’s calcium is in a 100% soluble form that is immediately available to react with the sodium, unlike gypsum based products. Calcium cation ranges between 65 - 70% (Cation Exchange Capacity - CEC). CEC measures the soil’s ability to hold nutrients such as potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca) as well as other positively charged ions such as sodium (Na) and hydrogen(H). It is a much safer alternative to chlorides and sulfates. KnockOut will improve soil structure, enhance better rooting, water infiltration and improve overall turf quality.

2 - 3 ounces per gallon of water. Thoroughly drench soil around planted area (59 - 88 ml per 4 L water) Repeat as needed.

Soil Drench:

STORAGE & HANDLING :

Store in normal warehouse areas. Keep from Freezing.

MIXING :

The following mixing procedure should be followed after KnockOut has been diluted with appropriate amounts of water. Add products to mix in this order: 1. wettable powders, 2. flowables, 3. water solubles, 4. surfactants, 5. emulsifiable concentrates. Be sure to agitate during each addition. Be sure each product is mixed well before adding the next. Apply all of mixture in same day. Always use a jar test before mixing KnockOut with pesticides and fertilizers in your tank.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS :

Correcting harmful saline-sodic and sodic soils must be carried out in steps beginning with restoration, followed by continued maintenance. Make repeated applications 2 - 4 weeks apart. Following treatment, apply adequate irrigation to wash product into the soil.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

BioNutrients is a unique, dry, 100% soluble blend of humic acid, natural wetting agent, kelp, natural L-amino acids and our exclusive combination of beneficial soil bacteria along with fortified natural carriers that add rich organic material to soils. It has the added advantage of containing a natural biostiumulant to promote strong rooting. BioNutrients can be used on all fairway grasses, sports turf, lawn care and hydroseeding applications. The BioNutrients formulation is designed to improve soil quality by adding rich organic nutrients that are often depleted in old and over worked soils. A powerful natural wetting agent insures deep penetration into even the most difficult and compacted soils. Once in the rhizosphere, a combination of L-amino acids, kelp and natural soil bacteria colonize and revitalize the soil with active communities of living soil microbes. The humic acid and plant extracts are rich in carbon which becomes a food and energy source for the soil bacteria colonies.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS :

Mix one packet of Total-Pak in 50 gallons of water. For ground area method, measure below drip line of tree. Use standard soil injection equipment. Pump requirements of between 100 - 200 psi is needed for good coverage. Be sure to calibrate your equipment by using a pre-measured container and time how long it takes to fill the container using the feeding needle.

ROOT INJECTION RATES :

Total-Pak should be injected into the top 4" to 8" inches of soil where feeder roots extend. Start application approximately 2-3 feet from tree trunk. Extend the same distance beyond drip line. Lay out a grid pattern, and spacing should be every 2 1/2 ft. A minimum of 1 quart of tank mix should be applied per hole. Be sure to measure the tree DBH in order to calculate the total amount of mix needed. For difficult, compacted soils it is desirable to add a natural wetting agent such as Hydro-Max. CAUTION: Keep out of reach of children. In case of contact with eyes, flush immediately with copious amounts of water. Contact a physician. Do not take internally.

CALCIUM / MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCIES :

Calcium and Magnesium are very important secondary nutrients and part of the chlorophyll molecule which is necessary for sugar formation. Inadequate amounts of Magnesium will first appear as a general loss of green color at bottoms of older leaves (interveinal chlorosis). Continued deficiency will also affect younger leaves, followed by formation of lesions. Calcium and Magnesium deficiencies occur mostly in soils with a high pH over 8 and acidic soils with a pH less than 6.5. High levels of calcium and potassium will also reduce Magnesium uptake. Turf Applications: Soil testing is necessary to determine levels. Where Calcium and Magnesium levels are deficient or marginal, apply Cal Mag Max throughout the growing season. This can be added to any fertilizer spray solution.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Organic Iron 5% is a new ORGANIC CHELATE made from a Glucoheptonate chelating agent. Organic Iron 5% is formulated for year round application on all varieties of turf grasses. It can be used in early spring for soil injection of trees and ornamentals. Organic Iron 5% is excellent as a foliar spray on all plant materials that are showing iron deficiencies. These are naturally fermented sugar acids that form soluble molecules with mineral elements. Organic Iron 5% is a very stable chelate and is a perfect choice for higher pH soils where minor elements often become unavailable to the plant. In this soil condition, Organic Iron 5% will remain available longer than other types of chelates. Plants can become deficient in iron elements because of pH imbalances. Organic Iron 5% can prevent compound deficiencies in turf and many plant materials. University studies indicate that glucoheptonates are ideal for foliar applications and are more efficient than EDTA chelates in high pH soils.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Cal-Tec Calcium Glucoheptonate 9% is a unique sugar acid chelate that forms a 100% soluble calcium / nitrogen. This provides immediate plant uptake to correct deficiencies through both the leaves and root tissue. Calcium is known to be essential for plant membrane integrity, proper cell division and overall plant vigor and stiffness. It is important in cell wall bonding and promotes enzyme activation for starch conversion. Cal-Tec 9% can be used during hot weather to reduce stress during times of high transpiration. Calcium is also important to improve soil structure, reduce salt build up and soil compaction from road salts and urban stress. Calcium is often used to improve the cation exchange capacity of the soil, raise pH of soil and help reduce the build up of toxic salts.

5 oz per gal water (148 ml in 4 L water)

Nursery Applications

When determining the application rates of Cal-Tec 9%, it is important to check both tissue and soil sample analysis for calcium levels. Since calcium is the second highest percentage in plant tissue, correct any deficiencies early in the spring and continue to apply throughout the growing season. Cal-Tec 9% provides immediately available calcium along with nitrogen for correction of calcium deficiencies. Hot weather will also aggravate calcium deficiencies. Calcium deficiencies become evident at terminal bud growth, with hooked malformation and finally dying back.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Landscape Plantings, Trees, Shrubs & Ornamentals

Manganese Chelate 5% is an organic chelate, which keeps the manganese in soluble form for plant uptake. This chelate is ideal for both soil and foliar uptake, since this chelate is absorbed through foliar spray. Manganese Chelate 5% is made from organic sugars that are easily absorbed intact along with the chelated metal. Mn is available for microbial activity in the soil. The pH of Manganese Chelate 5% is 7.5, making it ideal for mixing with pH acid sensitive products. It is not affected by soil conditions, other nutrients or technical grade materials. Manganese Chelate 5% will remain in a soluble form for plant uptake since it remains as a negative charge ion and is not attracted to negatively charged soil particles. Manganese Chelate 5% is compatible with all Growth Products professional fertilizers and can be combined in all tank mix solutions for spoon feeding. Be sure to read mixing instructions and do a jar test before use. University studies indicate that Glucoheptonates are ideal for foliar applications and are more efficient than EDTA chelates in high pH soils.

Magnesium Chelate 3% is environmentally sound, and is made from organic sugars that are easily absorbed intact along with the chelated metal and utilized in the plant cell. Magnesium Chelate 3% is available for microbial activity in the soil. This type of chelate is especially efficient in high pH soils, or calcareous soils and is recommended over EDTA chelates. Magnesium Chelate 3% is a near neutral pH of 6.5 and is ideal for mixing with pH acid sensitive products. It is not affected by soil conditions, other nutrients or technical grade materials. Magnesium Chelate 3% will remain in a soluble form for plant uptake since it remains a double ++ charge ion and is not attracted to negatively charged soil particles. Magnesium Chelate 3% is compatible with all Growth Products professional fertilizers. Be sure to read all mix instructions prior to tank mix solutions.

MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCIES :

Magnesium is a very important secondary nutrient. It is part of the chlorophyll molecule, and is necessary for sugar formation. Inadequate amounts of magnesium will first appear as a general loss of green color at bottoms of older leaves (interveinal chlorosis). Continued deficiency will also affect younger leaves, followed by formation of lesions. Magnesium deficiencies occur mostly in sandy soils and in extremely high pH soils. High levels of calcium and potassium will also reduce magnesium uptake. Turf Applications: Soil testing is necessary to determine magnesium levels. Where magnesium levels are deficient or marginal, apply Magnesium Chelate 3% throughout the growing season. This can be added to any fertilizer spray solution. Trees, Ornamentals & Palms: Magnesium Chelate 3% can be used as a soil or foliar spray to correct Magnesium deficiencies. Dilute 24-36 oz. in 100 gallons of water. Spray leaf surface until covered.

STORAGE & HANDLING :

Mixing: Magnesium Chelate 3% is NOT compatible with phosphate fertilizers, and must be mixed and applied separately. Manufactured By:

CAUTION: Keep out of reach of children. In case of contact with eyes, flush immediately with copious amounts of water. Contact a physician. Do not take internally.

A GUIDE TO THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A TREE AND SHRUB FERTILIZATION PROGRAM Whether it is the agronomics or the dynamics of Growth Products liquids, you can provide your customer with results while increasing your bottom line.

Time Savers & Other Helpful Hints

• If part of the root zone is covered (i.e. driveway, house, pool, etc...), place injections closer together in the uncovered area. • Always monitor gallonage being used on each tree in order to avoid using too much or not enough.

• Find the ease of handling and mixing liquid products in any type of equipment • With Growth Products Arbor Care products, you have a choice of varying N-P-K ratios and any minor elements to meet your specific needs • Liquid products diffuse throughout the soil providing uniform coverage • The use of true liquid solutions eliminates costly down time and worn parts • Versatile, effective and safe applications by root injection, foliar and soil drench

• If the ground is excessively compacted, a soil drench containing Essential will help loosen the soil and allow for needle penetration.

• Soil drenches and foliar sprays are also recommended for smaller shrubs and ornamentals planted in mulch, chips or landscape stones.

• In order to avoid damaging shrubs and ornamentals from dragging hoses through and around planted and landscaped areas, liquids can be used as a foliar or soil drench.

A balanced fertilization program is one of the most important cultural practices for improving the health and appearance of landscape, trees and ornamentals. Most insect problems, diseases and physical stress are the symptoms of bigger problems beneath the soil. Many landscape areas have poor soil that is unable to maintain good, healthy growth. Such problems can be attributed pH imbalances, related macro or micronutrient deficiencies, low organic matter, or may be the result of toxins in the soil. The list of potential problems is growing as we learn more about the nutrient requirements of a healthy plant.

• For ornamentals and smaller plants, a rule of thumb is to place holes closer together and apply less fertilizer mixture per hole.

•Foliar applications of micronutrients will rapidly correct discoloration caused by chlorosis. This should be done in conjunction with a pH test and soil injection to permanently correct the problem. • Apply fertilizer to shrubs and flower beds at time of remulching.

• With Growth Products liquid solutions, there are no broken or solidified bags, no settling, no clogging, and no worn out parts from abrasion.

In the forest, and in other natural environments, the recycling of nutrients occurs naturally when leaves and other organic materials decompose. Problems occur, however, on landscapes where this natural cycle is disrupted. Most trees and shrubs on a landscaped property have to compete for nutrients with grasses and other ground covers. Without new organic matter being introduced, the soil is soon depleted. With a balanced fertilizer program, one cannot only improve the health and appearance of these plants, but also reduce the amount of damage caused by pests and physical stress. This will save time and money by reducing pesticide usage. It will also generate savings through a reduction of tree and shrub removal and replacement.

• All of our products are safe because of their low salt index and slow release nitrogen sources, the “smart” nitrogen from Nitro-30 SRN.

2) For deep root injection, pump requirement 100-200 psi for good coverage. 3) ½” – ¾” spray or garden hose.

Getting Started:

4) Fertilizing needles. There are several products available through a variety of distributors.

Fertilizing trees and shrubs is not nearly as involved as it sounds. You may already own most of the equipment needed. The following is a list of this equipment:

With these three items, one operator, fertilizer, and water you can run a very effective and preventative program.

1) Clean sprayer unit, 100 gallons or greater.

Design the Correct Fertilizer Program:

Calibration Method:

Fertilizer blends you use are extremely crucial when designing a program. Many of the products offered in the market contain high salts, insoluble materials and chlorine. Granular products can cause problems in pumps such as clogging or parts wearing out from abrasion, resulting in considerable downtime. With Growth Products liquid fertilizers, you will not have any of these concerns. Our program is designed by looking at the entire soil picture. It is designed to fine tune the application of N-P-K, micronutrients and natural organics.

Using a pre-measured container, time how long it takes to fill the container using the feeding needle. This will give you a more accurate determination of how long to hold the valve open per hole to reach the desired amount of ½ gal of mix per hole. This depends upon the flow rate valve output and psi. Gallons/ Minute output

Time in Seconds to Hold Injection Wand in Hole

Estimating Gallons Needed:

Timing of Applications:

Our recommendations are based upon applying 2 - 3 gallons of mix per inch DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) Example: a 12 inch tree would require 35 - 49 gallons of diluted fertilizer.

Flow Rate of 5 GPM 6

A comprehensive tree and shrub fertilization program should include both early spring and early fall application program. It is recommended that a lower nitrogen, higher phosphorus and higher potassium analysis is used for a fall application. A 1:2:2 N-P-K ratio in the fall helps prepare the tree for winter stress and improve root and carbohydrate reserves for the winter. A spring application ratio of 1:1:1 for deciduous and 3:2:1 ratio for evergreens is ideal. Applications can begin in the spring when the soil is thawed to permit fertilization. During heat and drought stress conditions, the late spring – summer application of Essential Plus – a natural organic – can help strengthen the tree without any salt stress.

Fertilizer, the Procedure:

The proper method for sub surface fertilization of trees is by injection of diluted fertilizer approximately 4 - 8 inches below the surface. Fertilization should begin 2 - 3 times the DBH from the base of the tree and extend the same distance outside the drip line of the tree canopy. Each injection should be placed 2 - 3 feet apart in a grid pattern throughout the under story of the tree (see diagram)

PALM PROGRAM There are many needs to consider when fertilizing palm trees, since many of the species are not native palms and are therefore, more apt to develop nutrient deficiencies and diseases. In general, native palms are more tolerant to stress. A good fertility program should incorporate a reliable slow release nitrogen source, manganese, magnesium and iron which are common nutritional disorders in palms. In addition, soils are often lacking in organic matter and lack beneficial soil bacteria. In many urban situations, paved areas often make it difficult to apply large volumes of water. In these instances, a low water volume palm program is recommended. All of the products recommended by Growth Products for this type of application have been formulated and tested to ensure low salt indices (i.e. plant materials will not be injured by chemical salts). The following program utilizes five times less water than a standard program. It is imperative to carefully follow all mixing instructions.

Transplant Fertilization:

Foliar Fertilization:

Drench both the root ball and soil where the palm will be planted with a blend of Growth Products Palm Pro 12-4-12 with 60% slow release nitrogen. Palms do not like heavy muck or clay soils and will very quickly become water logged. If it is not possible to supplement soil mixes of this consistency with a sand/peat mix, be sure to add Essential® Plus along with Companion® Microbial Inoculant at the time of transplant. This will help loosen the clay structure and allow more drainage. For a granular supplement program add 8 oz. Landscapers Companion® or Growers Companion® for two 15 gal. palms. Mix thoroughly into soil before planting.

Foliar fertilization with high quality liquids can be used as a supplemental program for normal soil fertilization. While foliar applications will correct many nutrient deficiencies, soil fertilization will provide longer lasting results. Both Mg and Mn chelate foliar sprays are also effective against deficiencies.

Nutrient disorders:

N- Nitrogen deficiency is common in many areas of the county where non-native species are planted. Palm trees manifest this deficiency with a light green color and decreased vigor. - K - Potassium deficiency is more widespread and most common in Florida palms. Symptoms - which appear as a translucent yellow or orange color in the leaflets -occur first on the oldest leaves and then in newer leaves. If not corrected, new growth will be affected and if left untreated, the palm will die. Potassium deficiencies are common in most palm species found in Florida. - Mg - The signs of a magnesium deficiency first occur in the palm’s oldest leaves and then spreads up through the canopy with a light yellow band along the margin of the oldest leaves, while the center remains green. While Mg deficiencies affect most species of palms, Date Palms are the most susceptible. - Mn - Manganese deficiencies affect most palms. If the deficiency is severe, the palm will take on a “frizzled” look.

Established Palms:

The vast majority of palms planted in the US are non-native species and are planted in sandy soils, which have an extremely low cation capacity and a tendency to leach nutrients quickly. Established palms must be fertilized a minimum of twice per year, and 4 fertilizations per year are ideal. Growth Products’ 12-4-12 contains an ideal ratio of nitrogen to potassium (crucial for healthy palms). And since Palm Pro contains 60% slow release nitrogen, the palms will receive an even, continuous feed of nitrogen.

Soil Injection:

Begin root injection approximately two to four feet away from the trunk and out to the drip line of the tree. Check the flow rate by timing gallons per minute into a bucket. At 2 gallons per minute, it will take 15 seconds to inject ½ gallon per injection hole. Inject to a depth of 6 to 8 inches for trees. Inject at a rate of ½ gal of tank mix per injection site. Check “Palm Program” and “Low Water Palm Program” for dilution rates.

SALT REDUCTION PROGRAM Application Rate:

This program has been designed to correct high salts that are found in many soils referred to as salination. Storm damage, ice melt winter applications, over application of high salt fertilizers or pesticides and to mitigate the effects of herbicide damage. Irrigation water especially effluent (reclaimed) water can be a constant source of salts or from salt laden water table. Keep in mind that salts will build up in the soil over time unless neutralized or leached out and often become visible on the surface of the soil. Excessive salts will cause degradation of the soil and the vegetation. This program will help manage salt accumulation. Be sure to use low salt fertilizers for maximum growth and recovery such Growth Products turf and tree care program. Application Timing
