Foliar: Nitro-30 can be used on all field crops, vegetables and permanent crops such as fruit and nut trees, as a foliar spray application or via irrigation system to correct nitrogen deficiencies. Nitro-30 can be applied as a ground spray. Always apply with enough water to obtain adequate plant coverage. It can be applied by aerial application as a concentrate with sufficient water to achieve adequate plant coverage. Fertigation: Nitro-30 can also be applied to soil as a band, sidedress or injected through the irrigation system; sprinkler, drip or center pivot.

Nitro-30 liquid slow release nitrogen is a unique technology that provides crops with high quality, steady, uniform and safe feed of nitrogen. As a foliar feed, it is absorbed into the leaf cuticle and reserved there. The nitrogen is steadily released and is absorbed through the stomatal openings as the plant requires it, avoiding unwanted rapid growth spurts. Studies show that Nitro-30 has reduced nitrogen leaching and volatilization by up to 75%, so that the amount of soil applied nitrogen can be reduced, while improving crop yield. Nitro-30 will provide up to a twelve week nitrogen release, saving you the time and labor of repeated fertilizer applications. Field studies in Europe and the US have confirmed that foliar application of Nitro-30 quickly corrects nitrogen deficiencies and that nitrogen rates can be reduced to less than ½ of soil applied rates. Nitro-30 has the lowest salt index of all nitrogen fertilizers (salt index of 2 - 4), significantly reducing burn potential that results from urea, ammonia, and nitrates. It can also be used as a sticker to enhance pesticide uptake. It can be applied to soil as banded, sidedress or injected through the irrigation system; sprinkler, drip or center pivot or by low volume aerial application, as a concentrate, with sufficient water to achieve adequate plant coverage.

GREENHOUSE & NURSERY:

Nitro-30 is a high quality, concentrated, slow release nitrogen solution. It has the lowest salt index of any nitrogen source at 2 - 4. It is ideal for both supplement feeding and constant feed of nursery stock, for both foliar and root uptake. This clear liquid can be injected through fertigation, drip irrigation or overhead sprinkler systems. For Supplemental Feeding: Use between applications of granular coated fertilizer to level off nutrients that are often not available or depleted because of adverse weather conditions. This will extend nutrient availability at the end of feeding cycle to avoid costly hand topdressing. Apply at the end of growing cycle prior to shipment, and as a final feed to avoid labor, waste and spillage. For Constant Feed: Use on all nursery stock, potted and containerized plants as both foliar or root feeding.

TREES & ORNAMENTALS :

The nitrogen release period for deep root injection extends 3 to 6 months depending on soil and climate conditions. There is no danger of phytotoxicity. No special agitation is required. For trees, apply 1 lb. nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. (under canopy). Inject 4" - 8" below soil surface, into root zone, with correctly calibrated tree fertilizer injection equipment. For ornamentals, apply ¾ lb. nitrogen twice a year as a soil drench.

MIXING PROCEDURES :

• Fill water spray tank with approximately ½ water. • Begin mixing or circulation. • Add desired amount of Nitro-30. • Add compatible micronutrients.

Boron is an essential element for many agriculture crops including vegetable, tree fruit and nut crops, as well as forage crops. Nitro-26 CB has a very low salt index making it safe to use on many crops and can be applied at low water rates.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS :

Foliar: Nitro-26 CB can be used on all field crops, vegetables and permanent crops such as fruit and nut trees, as a foliar spray application to correct nitrogen and Boron deficiencies, and to improve crop growth and yield. Nitro-26 CB can be applied as a ground spray, sprinkler, and through drip or aerial application, with sufficient water, to achieve adequate plant coverage. For Drip irrigation apply 1 to 4 gallons per acre, 3 - 6 times during the growing season. For fruit and nut trees apply when roots are actively growing. See expanded application chart for rates on other crops. Mix with sufficient water to assure adequate coverage unless otherwise indicated. Fertigation: Nitro-26 CB can also be applied to soil as a band, sidedress or injected through the irrigation system; sprinkler, drip or center pivot.

STORAGE & HANDLING :

Storage: All Growth Products professional liquid fertilizers can be stored in normal warehouse areas and are not affected by freezing temperatures. Nitro-26 CB has a pH of 10.

COMPATIBILITY:

Fertilizer Blends: Nitro-26 CB can be combined with other N-P-K materials to enhance their absorption, efficacy, and sticking properties. It is compatible with many potassium, phosphorus, micronutrient and crop protection chemicals. Be sure to always read

Nitro+K (22-0-16) is a highly effective, crystal clear liquid nitrogen / potassium solution that can be applied by ground or by air. Because of the sticker benefit of the slow release nitrogen, there is improved K uptake. Nitro+K does not contain any chlorides or nitrates. The low salt formulation was developed to supplement standard soil fertility practices as a foliar feed on crops. Used as a foliar applied nitrogen / potassium source the amount of soil applied nitrogen can be reduced, thus decreasing losses from leaching and volatilization. Each gallon of Nitro+K contains 2.66 lbs. nitrogen and 1.9 lbs. potassium. Nitro+K can also be used as a sticker to enhance pesticide uptake.

CROP TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS :

STORAGE & DISPOSAL :

All recommendations are based on broadcast spray application. When band or directed sprays are used, calculate the rate for the "sprayed acre" only. For most field and horticultural crops the early season applications are directed sprays. For treatment of individual trees and vines, divide rate per acre by number of trees or vines per acre.

Bananas

Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. Triple rinse container; empty rinsate into spray tank. Dispose of the empty container according to approved local practices; contact county agricultural commissioner for disposal information.

NITRO-22 combines the benefits of SMART (slow release) nitrogen with the cost-effective economics of Ammonium Sulfate. Quick absorption by the plant results in faster start up, even at low soil temperatures, with the added benefit of SMART Nitrogen. 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, ammonium sulfate decomposes quickly in the soil to form sulfate sulfur. 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. Application

• DO use TKO Phosphite 0-29-26 under conditions of optimum plant growth including; highest humidity, moderate temperatures and adequate soil moisture. • DO add, as a minimum, equal amount of water. Do use sufficient water to provide thorough coverage. • DO a jar test before mixing chemicals in your tank. • DO dilute “TKO” Phosphite 0-29-26 with water prior to mixing with other nutrients or pesticides. The following mixing procedures should be used after TKO Phosphite has been diluted with water. Add products to mix in this order: 1. wettable powders, 2. flowables, 3. water solubles, 4. emulsifiable concentrates. • DO agitate during each addition. Be sure each product is mixed well before adding the next technical material. It is recommended to apply all of mixture in one day. • DO use the correct label spray rates of any pesticide used with “TKO” Phosphite 0-29-26. • DO consult your local distributor for rate and application instructions. • DO NOT use surfactants or adjuvants with this product. • DO NOT use when crop is under heavy stress from pests, heat or inadequate moisture levels. • DO NOT apply by aircraft if surface wind is greater than 5 miles /hour to assure adequate crop coverage and droplet deposition. • DO NOT apply during the heat of the day.

“TKO” Phosphite 0-29-26 is a clear, highly concentrated P/K solution containing mono- and di-potassium salts of phosphorous acid. The Phosphite in TKO is more soluble than phosphate. It is rapidly absorbed into plant tissue through leaves and roots with excellent movement in both xylem and phloem. Translocation in phloem allows TKO to move from leaf tissues to the branches, crowns and roots. Because of this unique property, phosphonates are viewed as excellent to improve the plant’s resistance by stimulation of natural host defenses against environment and other stresses. Phosphonates are absorbed by plants and incorporated into cells as phosphite ions (H2 PO3). Over time, phosphonate fertilizer can be converted by bacteria to phosphate in soil, where it can be taken up and metabolized by plants. Phosphites have greater solubility and are more readily available to microorganisms and plant roots than phosphates. At appropriate rates, TKO can provide stimulation to plants to make a broad spectrum of biologically active metabolites, which does not occur with phosphates. TKO foliar sprays can induce system protection against stress conditions. TKO Phosphite has proven to be more readily absorbed into citrus and avocado leaves than conventional phosphates. A prebloom foliar application will produce growth-stimulating properties increasing flower number, yield, fruit size and total solids. TKO can be use on all crops, including but not limited to; leafy vegetables, legumes, tubers, and fruit and nut trees. See Crop application recommendations.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS :

TKO is a clear liquid solution with a near neutral pH. It can be tank mixed with conventional fertilizers, most micronutrients, organic supplements and most biological fungicides. Be sure to add sufficient water to ensure adequate spray coverage. Always use a jar test with appropriate concentrations before mixing chemicals in your tank. All recommendations are based on broadcast spray application. When band or directed sprays are used, calculate the rate for the "sprayed acre" only. For most field and horticultural crops the early season applications are directed sprays. For treatment of individual trees and vines, divide rate per acre by number of trees or vines per acre.

STORAGE & HANDLING :

CAUTION:

Storage: TKO liquid can be stored in normal warehouse areas and are not affected by freezing temperatures. TKO Phosphite 029-26 has a pH of 6.5.

The following conditions must be observed in order to apply Phosphite 0-29-26 successfully. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the plant.

Our PolyKPhos 3-18-18 is a highly soluble, foliar, low salt index formulation developed to supplement standard soil fertility practice. It provides an additional source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutrients during the growing seasons. 3-18-18 is designed to be used in concert with soil and tissue tests and professional recommendations, to manage the nutrient levels and nutrient balance within the crop. In a form readily absorbed by plant tissue 3-18-18 corrects deficiencies quickly. All Field Crops or Direct Seeded Crops: PolyKPhos 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 inadequate moisture may result in germination problems. Early Applications for Seeded Crops: Applications of PolyKPhos early in the plant’s life can encourage earlier development, increased growth and vigor. 3-18-18 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 “sprayed acres” to determine amounts of spray to be applied. Application

Crop Treatment Recommendations: All recommendations are based on broadcast spray application. When band or directed sprays are used, calculate the rate for the sprayed acre only. For most filed and horticultural crops the early season applications are directed sprays. For treatment of individual trees or vines, divide per acre by number of trees or vines per acre. Do add, as minimum, equal amounts of water.

Apply at 2 - 3 week intervals. 20 - 30 applications per year.

Apply after transplanting or prior to bloom. Repeat every 10 - 15 days. Apply three times each season starting when first early-set is 3 inches, then at midseason, and then 2 - 3 weeks prior to harvest. Apply first application pre-bloom. Apply subsequent applications at mid-crop, and 3 - 4 weeks prior to harvest, or as needed to supplement nutritional requirements. Apply at early head formation and repeat 10 - 15 days later. At planting, apply as a starter. Apply after transplanting, thinning, or at 2nd true leaf stage. Apply 1 - 2 subsequent applications at 10 - 15 day intervals. Use as needed to supplement nutritional requirements. Apply at flag leaf emergence or early bloom and repeat in 14 - 21 day intervals. Assure good coverage.

Apply after transplanting, thinning, or at 2nd true leaf stage. Apply subsequent application at 10 - 15 day intervals. Use as needed to supplement nutritional requirements. Apply three to four times per season. Apply at first full leaf, then at post bloom berry size, and three to four weeks prior to harvest. Apply in early spring for good growth, then apply monthly and again after harvesting. Apply after planting and reapply after harvesting.

Apply 3 - 4 times during season. The first application at early emergence, three to four weeks later, and at prebloom.

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.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS :

8-32-5 needs no mixing and will not settle out of solution. Like all Growth Products, it is ideal for any type of fertigation system, drip irrigation or spray equipment. Use 8-32-5 on all types of bedding plants, perennials, cut flowers, plugs, ornamentals, nursery crops, trees, foliage and container plants. Direct Siphon: 8-32-5 can be siphoned directly from the original container. This can be done with a variable proportioner that can be set to high ratios. This eliminates the need to mix stock concentrates or stir the mixing barrels. For 100 PPM phosphorus, set injector to 1:4400; for 200 PPM, set injector to 1:2200. Parts Per Million: Use the Parts Per Million chart to choose desired phosphorus ratio. Foliar Feeding: When using overhead irrigation, 8-32-5 gives you dual efficiency since the nutrients will be absorbed by both the leaves and roots. For tender plants and greenhouse foliar spray applications use one-half the rate (PPM) you would normally use for drip irrigation feeding. Hand Watering: Mix ½ to ¾ teaspoon 8-32-5 per gallon of water. Saturate soil with mix. Application

Rate Notes Foliar Spray: 1 - 2 quarts per 100 gal of water (250 - 500 ml Thoroughly spray to Containerized and per 100 L water) Field Grown Crops, Rate per Gallon: 1¼ - point of run-off. Apply every 2 - 4 weeks. (including but not 2½ oz per gallon or limited to): Deciduous 2½ - 5 tbs per gallon and Evergreen Trees, of water Foliage, Ornamental Injector Ratio: 3 - 6 oz Grasses, Perennials, per gallon of stock tank Apply monthly or as Tropicals, Woody water. Set injector at needed to supplement Ornamentals nutritional 1:100 requirements. (23 - 47 ml per liter stock tank water)

8-32-5 is perfect as a high phosphorus plant starter. 8-32-5 is excellent for seedlings, young plants and overseeding. The solution contains 4% Time-Released Nitrogen from our exclusive methylene urea. The Time-Released Nitrogen helps to feed young plants consistently, avoiding flush growth, which can be detrimental and contribute to disease susceptibility. Methylene Urea is known to be a very consistent and reliable nitrogen source that remains present and available to your plants for a longer period of time. Methylene Urea is not easily broken down, and its nitrogen will only be released by a combination of factors (heat, humidity, and microbial activity). The phosphorus and potassium are completely soluble and therefore immediately available for plant uptake. You can use less 8-32-5 than granular high phosphorus products since there is no need to wait for particle breakdown. 8-32-5 contains no chlorides, therefore making it safer to tender plants.

tend nutrient availability at the end of feeding cycle to avoid costly hand topdressing. Apply at the end of growing cycle, prior to shipment, as a final feed to avoid labor, waste and spillage. For Constant Feed: Use on all nursery stock, potted and containerized plants as both foliar or root feeding.

TREE CARE RECOMMENDATIONS :

Root Application Rates: For determining tree fertilization rates, measure the trunk diameter of the tree (DBH) 4½ 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 2½ ft. A minimum of 5 gallons of tank mix should be applied per inch of tree diameter. Inject approximately ½ gal. of fertilizer solution at each point. Foliar Feeding: Apply this product through overhead, microjet or center pivot sprinkler irrigation. Nursery Star gives you dual efficiency since the nutrients will be absorbed by both the leaves and roots. See PPM chart for rates. For tender plants and greenhouse foliar spray applications, use one-half the rate (PPM) you would normally use for drip irrigation feeding. For Hand spray use 1¼ oz to 2½ oz per gallon of water. Spray to full coverage. Trees & Ornamentals: Growth Products liquid fertilizers contain Methylene Polymer Nitrogen, which has an extremely low salt index and resists leaching. 18-6-12 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.

18-6-12 Nursery Star with 60% Time-Released Nitrogen is a professional liquid fertilizer solution made from only the highest quality N-P-K raw materials to ensure a safe, reliable and efficient product. 18-6-12 provides a balance of Quick Release Nitrogen for initial green up and 60% Time-Released Nitrogen for continuous steady feeding. 18-6-12 contains Methylene Polymer Nitrogen from Nitro-30 (MDU), which resists leaching and provides a release over 8 - 12 weeks. The phosphorus and potassium are readily available for both foliar and root uptake. The K is a nonchloride source. 18-6-12 provides fast green up without producing flush growth. Since all Growth Products are TRUE CLEAR SOLUTIONS, they are ideal for spray and nursery applications, foliar feeding of trees, container crops and woody ornamentals. Growth Products solutions are non-clogging and non-abrasive to equipment. No special agitation is needed. 18-6-12 does not contain any nitrates, and avoids nitrate leaching. It is compatible with fungicides, herbicides and insecticides and can be mixed and sprayed in one application.

STORAGE & HANDLING :

Storage: All Growth Products professional liquid fertilizers can be stored in normal warehouse areas and are not affected by heat or freezing temperatures. 18-6-12 is non-corrosive & non-abrasive. Dilution: 18-6-12 can be diluted by either adding the concentrate to water or water to concentrate without any detrimental effects on the final product. Appropriate quantities of water should be added to the tank prior to adding pesticides, fungicides or herbicides. Never mix concentrated materials together without first diluting with water. Mixing: The following mixing procedures should be used after 186-12 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

Parts Per Million: Use the Parts Per Million chart to choose desired nitrogen ratio. Foliar Feeding: When using overhead irrigation, Triple Ten gives you dual efficiency since the nutrients will be absorbed by both the leaves and roots. For tender plants and greenhouse foliar spray applications use one-half the rate (PPM) you would normally use for drip irrigation feeding. Hand Watering: Mix ¾ to 1 teaspoon of Triple Ten per gallon of water. Saturate soil with mix. Tissue Cultured Plantlets: Tissue cultured plantlets require special attention. They must acclimate from completely sterile "lab conditions" into the greenhouse environment. Special care must be taken with stage II microcuttings regarding temperature, pH and nutrients. It is important to note, since Stage II plantlets do not have a cuticle, they are more susceptible to fertilizer salt damage and desiccation. Once a tray is completely planted, apply a very low rate (100 PPM) of Triple Ten. It is extremely critical to use low salt index fertilizers (like Triple Ten) at low rates. Capillary Mat Systems: Because 10-10-10 has an extremely low salt content it can be used in capillary mat systems and will eliminate the build up of salts in the mat system.

Triple Ten is a concentrated, water-clear solution containing an equal ratio of N, P, and K, as well as slow release nitrogen. This equal ratio is a staple for greenhouse and nursery crops. The solution contains 4% Slow Release Nitrogen from our exclusive Methylene Urea. Methylene Urea is known to be a very consistent and reliable nitrogen source that remains present and available to your plants for a longer period of time. Methylene Urea is not easily broken down, and its nitrogen will only be released by a combination of factors (heat, humidity, and microbial activity). Triple Ten’s slow release nitrogen produces a more consistent nitrogen feeding curve. Timing between fertilization can be extended. The slow release nitrogen is ‘tackified’ and is less likely to leach or volatilize. The phosphorus and potassium are completely soluble and therefore immediately available for plant uptake. The Methylene Urea portion will not break down into ammonia as it becomes available for the plant.

STORAGE & HANDLING :

Storage: All Growth Products horticultural fertilizers can be stored in normal warehouse areas. Triple Ten has a neutral pH and is not corrosive. Always store in original container and keep sealed. Mixing: Triple Ten is compatible with other technical chemicals including fungicides and insecticides and can be mixed and sprayed in one application.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS :

Triple Ten needs no mixing and will not settle out of solution. Like all Growth Products formulations, it is ideal for any type of fertigation system, drip irrigation or spray equipment. Use Triple Ten on all types of bedding plants, perennials, cut flowers, plugs, ornamentals, nursery crops, trees, foliage and container plants. Direct Siphon: Triple Ten can be siphoned directly from the original container. This can be done with a variable proportioner that can be set to high ratios. This eliminates the need to mix stock concentrates or stir mixing barrels. For 100 PPM nitrogen, set injector to 1:1200; for 200 PPM, set injector to 1:600.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS :

14-7-14 needs no mixing and will not settle out of solution. Like all Growth Products formulations, it is ideal for any type of fertigation system, drip irrigation or spray equipment. Use 14-7-14 on all types of bedding plants, perennials, cut flowers, plugs, ornamentals, nursery crops, trees, foliage and container plants. Direct Siphon: 14-7-14 can be siphoned directly from the original container. This can be done with a variable proportioner that can be set to high ratios. This eliminates the need to mix stock concentrates or stir mixing barrels. For 100 PPM nitrogen, set injector to 1:1900; for 200 PPM, set injector to 1:950. Parts Per Million: Use the Parts Per Million chart to choose desired nitrogen ratio. Foliar Feeding: When using overhead irrigation, 14-7-14 gives you dual efficiency since the nutrients will be absorbed by both the leaves and roots. For tender plants and greenhouse foliar spray applications use one-half the rate (PPM) you would normally use for drip irrigation feeding. Hand Watering: Mix ½ to ¾ teaspoon of 14-7-14 per gallon of water. Saturate soil with mix. Capillary Mat Systems: Because 14-7-14 has an extremely low salt content it can be used in capillary mat systems and will eliminate the build up of salts in the mat system.

STORAGE & HANDLING :

Storage: All Growth Products horticultural fertilizers can be stored in normal warehouse areas. 14-7-14 has an alkaline pH and is not corrosive. Always store in original container and keep sealed. Mixing: 14-7-14 is compatible with other technical chemicals including fungicides and insecticides and can be mixed and sprayed in one application. Do not mix products with high calcium content together with 14-7-14.

14-7-14 is a concentrated, crystal-clear, liquid solution in the 2-1-2 ratio that the horticultural industry favors, plus important micronutrients. The solution contains 7% Slow Released Nitrogen from our exclusive Methylene Urea. Methylene Nitrogen is the smart approach to nitrogen application. It has been University tested and found to be a very consistent and reliable nitrogen source that remains present and available to your plants for a longer period of time. It does not leach or volatilize and is not easily broken down. Its nitrogen will only be released by a combination of factors (heat, humidity, and microbial activity). This product’s control release nitrogen produces a more consistent nitrogen feeding curve. Timing between fertilization can be extended. The slow release nitrogen is a tackifier and will not leach or volatilize. The potassium is completely soluble and therefore immediately available for plant uptake. It is ideal to use when plants are maturing and blooming.

centrates or stir the mixing barrels. For 100 PPM potassium, set injector to 1:3300; for 200 PPM, set injector to 1:1650. Parts Per Million: Use the Parts Per Million chart to choose desired potassium ratio. Foliar Feeding: When using overhead irrigation, 0-0-25 gives you dual efficiency since the nutrients will be absorbed by both the leaves and roots. For tender plants and greenhouse foliar spray applications use one-half the rate (PPM) you would normally use for drip irrigation feeding. Foliar feeding should not be used when plants are in bloom. Hand Watering: Mix ½ to ¾ teaspoon 0-0-25 per gallon of water. Saturate soil with mix.

0-0-25 is a crystal clear, concentrate solution containing a very safe and reliable source of potassium from potassium carbonate. Each gallon of 0-0-25 contains 2.9 lbs. of potassium. It does not contain any chlorides and has the lowest salt index of any potassium source. Potassium deficiencies can be quickly corrected for both greenhouse and nursery crops. It is extremely efficient as a foliar feed to correct potassium deficiencies. Because of 0-0-25's low salt index, the volume of irrigation water can be reduced during the application to avoid over saturation of soil. For newly planted plants, 0-0-25 can be applied as soon as the seeds have emerged. 0-0-25 will raise both water and soil pH. It is important to check the pH of any mix prior to use. Each soil mix will have a different buffering capacity (resistance to a change in pH levels). For example, bark is more resistant than other soilless mixes. Be sure to check the pH of your mix after each application. 0-0-25 can be mixed with other lime or flowable lime products to make their slurry more flowable and increase the performance of those products. It can be applied through overhead irrigation as a foliar spray, or drenched into the roots. 0-0-25 crystal clear solution does not settle out as a concentrate or when diluted for use, and therefore provides the precise analysis of nutrients throughout its entire use. A major advantage of 0-0-25 is that it can be directly siphoned from the original container with a high ratio proportioner. 0-0-25 is alkaline, with a pH of 12. As a result, it will raise the pH of your stock tank and your soils.

STORAGE & HANDLING:

Storage: All Growth Products horticultural fertilizers can be stored in normal warehouse areas.0-0-25 has an alkaline pH of 12. Always store in original container and keep sealed. Mixing: 0-0-25 can NOT be mixed with calcium or magnesium materials. Be sure to check all other technical materials prior to mixing with pH Booster. 0-0-25 is alkaline and has a pH of 11. Do a jar test before use with other technical materials. 0-0-25 will raise the pH of your stock tank and your soils.

HOW

DETERMINE

THE

BUFFERING CAPACITY:

The buffering capacity is different for every water supply and soil. The buffering capacity is the ability to resist change in pH. Bringing about a pH change in a weakly buffered medium/water will require less pH Reducer than in a highly buffered medium/water. Remember that it is better to begin by adding too less pH Reducer than to add too much. Acidifying Alkaline Irrigation Water: As a starting point, add 2 fl oz of pH Reducer to 100 gallons of tank mix before any other chemicals have been added. Measure the pH of the water to determine its shift. Add another 2 fl oz of pH reducer until an acceptable pH is reached. Some water sources may require several additions of pH Reducer. Adjusting Medium pH: Begin by mixing 4 fl oz pH Reducer with one gallon water (100 PPM rate) and moisten a sample of growing medium. Let stand 24 hours and take pH reading. Adjust rate of pH Reducer accordingly. Do not exceed 6 fl oz pH Reducer (150 PPM) per gallon per irrigation. Instead adust medium pH, with 24 oz pH reducer over several waterings.

also increase enzyme activity. As with Humic Acid, Fulvic acts as a chelating agent and thereby increases the efficiency of the plant to uptake nutrients that are most often unavailable. What is unique about Fulv-Ex is the ratio of two parts pure Humic acid to one part pure Fulvic Acid. The highly soluble Fulvic provides the quick and immediate action of stimulating new root growth and triggers the plant’s immune system to function more efficiently. Organic matter in soils plays an essential role in soil quality and ultimately crop yield. Humates are known to physically alter the soil to allow better water and air movement. They also chemically change the soil’s environment. Soil aggregate stability is a strong indicator of the recovery of degraded soil quality. They encourage soil microbial activity and improve the cation exchange capacity of soils. It is a known fact that herbicide laden soils containing glyphosates, copper, or high bi-carbonates, can be detoxified by the application of organic rich materials such as FulvEx. It contains our exclusive methylene urea from Nitro-30 which enhances uptake and acts as a sticker / spreader.

Growth Products new soil remediation, Fulv-Ex (13-0-5), contains both Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid. Fulvic Acid is obtained by a highly refined extraction process from Humic Acid, resulting in a lighter (smaller) molecule which is a chemically distinct compound. Fulvic Acid has greater mobility (gets to where it is needed faster) and is a powerful organic electrolyte. It has a higher solubility which translates into faster absorption into plant tissue (foliar and root). For Damaged Roots! Organic substances in the soil can have dramatic physiological effects on enhancing plant growth. Compounds with growth-promoting properties, such as humic substances, are often referred to as having auxin-like growth responses, increasing root cell division and elongation. Fulvic will Citrus

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Sil-Guard is a liquid supplement that contains soluble potassium and soluble silicate, two important elements to help strengthen plant cell walls. Silica hardens the leaf and helps strengthen the xylem vessels (stem) of plants. This is especially important during times of high transpiration which will reduce water loss and environmental stress in both plants and cuttings. Potassium silicate will significantly reduce the effects of salt stress on roots, stems and leaves of plants. Sil-Guard also contains Potassium Phosphite which promotes plant health and increases the plant’s resistance to disease and pests. Potassium builds carbohydrate reserves. Nutrient uptake is increased through the leaf and root tissue with the addition of humic acid. It can be applied as a foliar application on all plant varieties. A continuous source of soluble silicate is very important to enhance the plants’ resistance to sucking insects and promotes the natural defense to fungal diseases.

potassium (NPK) fertilizers. Essential Plus provides a safe alternative to chemical hormones. It is ideal for use at plug production to ensure seed germination and good rooting. When used at the time of plug transplant to the field, Essential Plus will help eliminate transplant shock and provide better establishment. The ingredients will add organic matter to depleted soils reducing the effects of compaction, improving water penetration and nutrient holding capacity. Essential Plus provides an important food source for beneficial soil microbes. The high carbon content creates an environment suitable for beneficial microorganism growth. Essential Plus corrects soil alkalinity and is ideal to reduce and neutralize salts in high salt soils. The active humic acid in Essential Plus retains nutrient ions from leaching through soils and holds them in a form readily available for plant uptake. Essential Plus is rich in organic materials that have a high absorption and exchange capacity for nutrient cations. Humic acid will help mobilize phosphates that have been tied up in soils. Essential Plus is 100% Organic and is classified safe for the applicator and the environment.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS :

Essential Plus needs no mixing and will not settle out of solution. It can be applied through any type of fertigation system, drip irrigation or spray equipment. Use Essential Plus on all types of softwood cuttings, hardwood cuttings, vegetable plugs, bedding plants, perennials, small and large transplants and for seed germination. Essential Plus is an easy, labor saving alternative to IBA dip. Simply use as a drench when planting cuttings. (Rates below) Foliar Feeding: Apply this product through overhead, microjet, center pivot sprinkler irrigation. Essential Plus 1-0-1 gives you dual efficiency since the nutrients will be absorbed by both the leaves and roots. For tender plants and greenhouse foliar spray applications use one-half the rate (PPM) you would normally use for drip irrigation feeding. Follow rates for “Injection Systems”. For Hand spray use 1¼ oz to 2½ oz per gallon of water. Spray to full coverage.

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.

Once in the rhizosphere, the combination of beneficial bacteria and the rich food source promote colonization of the bacterial on the root hair surface. By increasing the diversity of the soil’s microbial populations, the natural soil bacteria colonize the root hair surface and revitalize the soil with living, active communities of soil microbes. The BioNutrients formulation is also 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 ensures deep penetration into even the most difficult and compacted soils. The humic acid and plant extracts are rich in carbon which becomes a food and energy source for the soil bacteria colonies and improves the cation capacity of soils.

Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide contains the active ingredient Bacillus subtilis GB03 which is a rhizosphere bacterium that quickly establishes beneficial colonies on the plant’s roots and leaves. It stimulates healthier roots, accelerates plant growth and activates the defense system of the plant. Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide is non-selective. Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide is most effective when applied prior to the onset of disease. Use Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide in combination and/or rotation with chemical fungicides to enhance disease control. For use on all outdoor field grown food crops including vegetables, herbs, small fruits, berries and fruit and nut trees. Use in greenhouse plug production and hydroponics operations. Modes of Action: Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide has multiple modes of action in preventing, controlling and suppressing plant diseases. It produces a broadspectrum antibiotic (Iturin) that disrupts pathogen cell-wall formation. It is a competitive and fast colonizing rhizosphere bacterium, which occupies the plant’s root hairs and leaves preventing the growth and antagonistic effects of soil borne and foliar pathogens. GB03 is known to stimulate phytohormones, which trigger the plant’s systemic resistance to disease (Induced Systemic Resistance), the defense mechanisms of the plant for prolonged periods of time. It is non-selective to plant materials.

Modes of Action: Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide has multiple modes of action in preventing, controlling and suppressing 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 or leaf surfaces preventing the growth and antagonistic effects of soil borne and foliar pathogens. The active ingredient is known to stimulate phytohormones, which trigger the plant’s systemic resistance to disease Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR), 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 is classified as a Plant GrowthPromoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR are free-living bacteria that have beneficial effects on plants as they enhance seed emergence, rooting, and stimulate growth.

INTEGRATED PEST (DISEASE) MANAGEMENT (IPM)

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide is an important tool to prevent the development of resistant pathogens that often occur with chemical fungicide 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. ®

PREHARVEST INTERVAL – AGRICULTURAL USE

Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide can be applied up to and including the day of harvest. ®

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Tank Mixing: SHAKE WELL before use and before mixing with water. Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide must be diluted with water prior to use. It can be used in all commonly used spray and injection equipment. Special care should be taken when tank mixing. Clean tanks before use. Add water to 3/4 level of the tank. Add specific amount of Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide to the tank. Mix thoroughly. Maintain agitation while spraying. DO NOT let stand overnight. Compatibility: Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide is compatible with most high quality fertilizers, micronutrients, organic materials, wetting agents, surfactants, fungicides, herbicides and insecticides. Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide can also be mixed and applied with Contact and Systemic Fungicides. Do NOT mix with copper based fungicides, concentrated acids such as sulfuric acid, solvents, oxidizing agents or bactericides. Do not mix

with products with a pH below 4 or above 9. Apply all of tank mix solution the same day to assure viability of spores. Observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and precautions of all products used in mixtures. Consult your Growth Products representative for more information on Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide compatibility.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Irrigation Systems: Since Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide is a homogenous solution that is 100% miscible in water it may be applied through all types of irrigation systems such as overhead boom and mist-type systems, sprinklers such as impact or micro-sprinklers, pressurized drench or drip–trickle systems, micro-irrigation such as spaghetti-tube or individual tube irrigation, hand-held calibrated irrigation equipment such as hand-held wand with injector, hydroponics, continuous feed and ebb and flood systems. Direct Siphon: Companion® Liquid Biological Fungicide can be siphoned directly from the original container. This can be done with a variable proportioner that can be set to high ratios. This eliminates the need to mix stock concentrates or stir the mixing barrels. For 100 PPM set injector to 1:800.

MicroTech CT is a special formulation of essential micronutrients, nitrogen and organic enhancers that can be used on citrus crops, peaches, pecans, cotton, small fruit, and vegetable crops. It contains Seaweed extract (Kelp), Yucca and Humic Acid that are known to enhance plant hardiness, resistance to environmental conditions and increase nutrient uptake. Each of these three organics play important roles in plant physiology, which improves phytosynthesis and chlorophyll production. Kelp also contains cytokinins, natural plant hormones that increase bloom and fruit set. Citrus and tomatoes sprayed with Kelp (Seaweed extract) are known to have reduced damage from early frost, and are able to withstand extreme heat and lack of moisture. Humic acid accelerates the absorption and uptake of nutrients while providing biostimulant effects. Yucca is both a natural wetting agent and acts as a natural steroid that stimulates plant growth and increases cell wall permeability for better absorption. MicroTech CT contains 4% nitrogen so it does not need to be mixed with other nitrogen products.

Zinc Chelate is recommended for use on all types of soils. Because this is a concentrated solution, it should be diluted with water before using to ensure uniform coverage. Soil applications can be made by drip, sprinkler or furrow irrigation systems or in band or broadcast. For trees or individual plants, the Zinc chelate may be diluted (as above) and sprinkled directly on the soil under the plant’s drip line and watered in.

This convenient, clear liquid is recommended for foliar spray or soil applications and provides calcium in a soluble, readily available form for plant uptake. Calcium can correct minor deficiencies or can be used in a regular growing program where crops and soils are known to be deficient. It is important to treat calcium deficiency before the symptoms become visual to ensure proper crop yield. Rates of Calcium will vary depending upon the severity of the deficiency, climate, soil conditions and method of application. Soil analysis can determine pH and available calcium. It’s compatible and can be used with most fertilizers and technical materials. Calcium promotes early root formation and growth, improves plant vigor and fruit integrity, and helps control cork spot and bitter pit on apples and pears. Calcium influences the uptake of other nutrients and encourages grain and seed production. Use in hot weather to reduce heat stress. APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS :

plants. Direct Siphon: Cal-Tec can be siphoned directly from the original container. This can be done with a variable proportioner that can be set to high ratios. This eliminates the need to mix stock concentrates or stir the mixing barrels. For 100 PPM calcium, set injector to 1:1000; for 200 PPM, set injector to 1:500. Soil & Tissue Testing: Have horticulturists identify micronutrient deficiencies. Whenever possible, run these tests prior to micronutrient applications in order to prescribe the deficient micro. Foliar Feeding: When using overhead irrigation, Cal-Tec gives you dual efficiency as the nutrients will be absorbed by both the leaf and roots of the plant. For tender plants and greenhouse foliar spray applications use one-half the rate (PPM) you would normally use for drip irrigation feeding. Hand Watering: Mix ½ to ¾ teaspoon Cal-Tec per gallon of water. Saturate soil with mix.

CROP TREATMENT RECOMMENDATION:

Foliar Application: Dilute with water according to label recommendations to apply as a foliar spray. Always spray on leaf until run-off. See chart for crop rates. For conventional sprayers, use a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre (200 L of water per Ha). For best results spray in early morning or late afternoon. Do not spray in the heat of day. For best results, spray when the crop is in an active growth state, after irrigation or natural rainfall. Deficiency Symptoms: Terminal bud growth will be hooked or distorted. Leaves have a wrinkled appearance. Application

Containerized and Field Grown Crops Foliar Spray: 1 - 2 (including but not limited to): Deciduous quarts per 100 gal of and Evergreen Trees, water Foliage, Ornamental (250 - 500 ml in Grasses, Perennials, 100 L water Tropicals, Woody Ornamentals

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, it is important to correct any deficiencies early in the spring and continue to apply throughout the growing season. Hot weather will also aggravate calcium deficiencies. Calcium deficiencies become evident at terminal bud growth, with hooked malformation and finally dying back. Like all Growth Products, it is ideal for any type of fertigation system, drip irrigation or spray equipment. Use Cal-Tec on all types of bedding plants, perennials, cut flowers, plugs, ornamentals, nursery crops, trees, foliage, ornamental grasses, and container

Magnesium Chelate 3% is an organic chelate that provides magnesium in a soluble form, making it readily available for both soil and foliar applications. 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. This type of chelate is especially efficient in high pH soils, or calcareous soils and is recommended over EDTA chelates. Magnesium Chelate 3% has 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 doubly ++ charged 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 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 the 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. Direct Siphon: Magnesium Chelate 3% can be siphoned directly from the original container. This can be done with a variable proportioner that can be set to high ratios and eliminates the need to mix stock concentrates or stir the mixing barrels. For 100 PPM magnesium, set injector to 1:350; for 200 PPM, set injector to 1:175. Soil & Tissue Testing: Have horticulturists accurately identify micronutrient deficiencies. Whenever possible, run these tests prior to micronutrients applications in order to prescribe the deficient micros.

CITRUS PROGRAM

LOW VOLUME FOLIAR PROGRAM FORMULATED FOR GREENING Growth Product’s Low Volume Foliar Program has gained widespread acceptance within the citrus industry as the Greening (HLB) Disease has spread throughout the United States. In Greening, the bacteria produced by the HLB disease prevents food and nutrients from being transported up and down the phloem, and infected trees starve and eventually die. With Growth Products foliar program, trees receive essential macro- and micro-nutrients through the leaves, and the trees can be sustained this way. Foliar application has always been the best practice for citrus nutrition, but with Greening Disease it’s absolutely critical. Growth Products are pH neutral and have extremely low salt indices. This allows the nutrients to be tank-mixed with insecticides that target the HLB disease-causing vector – the Asian citrus psyllid. Use with a low volume sprayer throughout entire grove every to 6 to 8 weeks with the insecticides, December through September. DORMANT BUD INDUCTION SPRAY Rate Per Acre

Nitro-30® (30-0-0) With 85% SRN

Comments

This program is designed to maximize root growth by stimulating rooting with gibberellic acid, proteins, amino acids and slow release nitrogen. It will also help prevent foot-rot and pythium infections with the addition of the biological fungicide and phosphite source. The organics in this program will promote and increase CEC in the soil for more efficient nutrient uptake.

1-2 gallons

During transplanting, tree roots are typically damaged when removed from their liners. Here, a Valencia orange on Swingle root stock was treated with Companion® /Essential® Plus drenching solution in order to prevent shock/stress and pythium root rot or foot rot.

Fifteen months later, the citrus tree has grown nicely. Follow-up applications of our young tree program have helped protect trees from HLB, Canker, Foot Rot and helped promote extensive and healthy root systems.
