Using AGGRAND to Grow Citrus Fruits

Nitrogen is typically the limiting macronutrient in citrus production. Recommendations when using chemical fertilizers are one quarter to one half pound of actual nitrogen per tree per year. However, organically growing citrus requires only 5 percent to 10 percent of that amount because biological activity in the soil fixes nitrogen from the atmosphere, releases nitrogen from organic matter applied as compost, cover crops, and AGGRAND fish and kelp products.

Minor nutrient deficiencies are usually the only other disorders that necessitate the application of corrective measures. Most often, application of AGGRAND fertilizers corrects any deficiencies.

Applications of AGGRAND fertilizers stimulate soil biological activity, supply macro and micronutrients, and release nutrients from the soil. Application of AGGRAND products along with organic matter, improves plant cell structure and the water-holding capacity of the soil.

Foliar Applications

The foliar application of AGGRAND fish and kelp fertilizers corrects many micronutrient deficiencies and increases drought, heat and cold tolerance of citrus. Foliar applications of AGGRAND fertilizers reduce pest problems in citrus production. Foliar application of AGGRAND products as part of an early bloom, summer and fall spray program effectively reduces the number of insect pests.

Mix 1 to 2 gallons of AGGRAND 4-3-3 with 50 to 100 gallons of water. Thoroughly cover the leaves with a fine mist. Apply with pre-bloom, post-bloom and summer sprays. Optimize results by adding 1 to 2 quarts of AGGRAND 0-0-8 to the mix.

Mix 1 to 2 quarts of AGGRAND 0-0-8 in 50 to 100 gallons of water. Apply with fall spray and 1 to 2 months before harvest (pre-harvest application increases the shelf life of fruit).

The addition of fulvic acid increases penetration of the leaf cuticle. Add 1 to 2 pints to the spray tank along with the fertilizer. Use 1 pint when applying AGGRAND 4-3-3 and 0-0-8 together.
Rates vary according to soil fertility and other inputs.

Higher dilution rates are more effective than lower dilutions rates. Do not exceed a 3 percent dilution rate (3 gallons of AGGRAND to 100 gallons of water).

The addition of a biodegradable surfactant increases uptake by increasing adhesion to the leaf surface. Apply AGGRAND in early morning or late evening. Do not apply before or after rainfall or irrigation. On standard sprayers, use turbo flood jet nozzles when applying AGGRAND to reduce clogging.

Soil Applications

Apply 2 to 3 gallons of AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer 4-3-3 diluted in 20 to 80 gallons of water. Apply to 1 acre with a field sprayer in spring and fall.

Root Applications

Apply with irrigation water 2 to 4 times per month between pre-bloom periods to one month after harvest (apply more often on lighter soils with low organic matter content). When applying AGGRAND with irrigation water use a dilution rate that results in 6 to 20 gallons acre/year.

General Applications

Apply ½ - 1-1/2 quarts per tree per year or 12 to 45 gallons an acre/year (rates depend on tree population, soil fertility, and the use of cover crops and/or application of compost or manure). The total amount includes soil and foliar applications.

The application of compost, composted manure, and incorporation of green manure crops improves soil structure, nutrient, and water holding capacity of desert soils. Annual medics (medicago spp) such as barrel medic (medicago trancatula), strand medic (m.littoralis) and snail medic (m. scutellata) are low growing and adapted to neutral to alkaline soils. These species will grow during the cool season and go to seed before summer. They add organic matter and nitrogen to the soil. They must be kept short by mowing to 3-5” in height.

Organic Citrus Production in Desert Climates

Soil Factors

Coarser textured soils with good drainage produce the highest yields, but citrus production is also possible with finer textured soils with good drainage.

Natural Organic Fertilizer 4-3-3

Naturally Effective

• Excellent results on flowers, fruits, vegetables, lawns, trees, and crops
• Effective as either a foliar feed or soil application
• Demonstrated performance in the commercial fruit and vegetable market
• Enhances plant vigor which contributes to disease and stress resistance
• Convenient liquid concentrate

AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer is a multi-purpose liquid
This product is ideal for all-around use on flowers, vegetables, fruits, lawns, shrubs, trees and field crops. Now, with our new odor-absorbing ingredient, AGGRAND is perfect for houseplants as well!

AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer provides nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K) in a 4-3-3 ratio.
These essential nutrients promote vigorous growth, increased root development and improved disease and stress tolerance.

Natural Organic Liquid Bonemeal

Corrects Calcium Deficiency

• Provides a readily usable source of phosphorus and calcium
• Releases slowly over the growing season
• Perfect for all bulbs and transplants
• Outstanding performance on root and fruit crops
• Ideal for flowers
• Convenient liquid concentrate

AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal is an important part of any soil fertility and plant nutrition program.
AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal contains 12% readily available phosphorus (P), which is reflected by the grade of 0-12-0 (N-P-K). Phosphorus aids in plant establishment and production of prolific blooms and high yields of top quality fruits.

Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash

An Important Part of Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrition

• Provides increased heat, cold and drought tolerance
• Decreases susceptibility to insect attack and infection
• Aids in early plant growth and development
• Promotes early ripening
• Improves quality and extends shelf-life of fruits and vegetables
• Aids in seed formation
• Convenient liquid concentrate
• Increases nitrogen use efficiency
• Increases nitrogen fixation in legumes

Potassium is considered the "universal helper"
AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash is an important part of any soil fertility/plant nutrition program. It contains 8% readily available Potash, a grade of 0-0-8 (N-P-K). Potassium (K) is considered the "universal helper" and is a major contributor to plant health because it regulates so many important processes in the plant. AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash also contains 2% sulfur (S). Sulfur, called the "fourth major nutrient," has many important functions in plant growth and must be present in sufficient amounts in the soil and plant tissue to realize the benefits of nitrogen and potassium.

Kelp enhances heat, drought and cold tolerance.
AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash utilizes kelp concentrate from the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. Kelp from this source contains high levels of plant growth hormones, amino acids, micronutrients and potassium. When used as fertilizer, kelp makes plants more robust and healthy by enhancing their heat, drought and cold tolerance. In addition, kelp increases the plant growth rate and fruit production, size, and quality.

Natural Liquid Lime

Quickly Increases Soil's pH

• Micronized formulation for immediate availability to plants
• Permeates entire soil profile

AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime provides a readily available source of calcium and magnesium.
The liquid formula penetrates the soil and enters the root zone where it quickly increases the soil's pH. Calcium and magnesium stimulate plants, speed growth and provide quick green-up of foliage. Mix Liquid Lime with water and till it into soil before planting, or spray on soil of established lawns, gardens, flower beds, trees and shrubs.
