Using AGGRAND to Grow Apples

Apples respond to foliar and soil applications of AGGRAND fertilizers. Peak foliar responses are obtained on perennial crops such as apples by applying AGGRAND fertilizers after the leaves open during pre-bloom, post-bloom, and fruit set. Too much N affects fruit quality and shelf life. While nitrogen (N) is an important nutrient in apple production, apple trees store N from season to season. If leaves are chlorotic after they open in spring then this condition is a symptom of an N deficiency, which may limit production. Adjust the N status of this crop by changing the foliar spray and soil application rates, type of fertilizer applied and the number of applications.

Foliar Applications:

Mix 1 to 2 gallons of AGGRAND 4-3-3 Natural Fertilizer in 50-100 gallons of water (depending on tree density, spray equipment, and canopy volume). Spray on one acre after the leaves open. After bloom, repeat the AGGRAND 4-3-3 application if the trees require more N.

Mix 2 to 4 quarts of AGGRAND 0-0-8 Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash with the same volume of water and apply after fruit set.

Repeat the second application 3 to 4 weeks before final harvest.

Rates vary according to soil fertility and other inputs used. Lower dilution rates are more effective than higher dilution rates. Two or three applications may be more effective than one heavy application. If other constraints only allow one trip over the field, then 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 the early morning or late evening. Do not apply before or after rainfall or irrigation. On standard field sprayers, use turbo flood jet nozzles when applying AGGRAND to reduce clogging.

If bitter pit is a problem then add 1 to 2 gallons of AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime to the spray tank to supply additional calcium.

To reduce susceptibility to attack of insects and disease causing organisms, apply 1 to 2 quarts of AGGRAND 0-0-8 Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash when signs of infestation first become apparent. AGGRAND added to the spray tank reduces the pesticide needed to obtain effective control by 1/3 to 1/2. Some growers find AGGRAND applications alone eliminate the need for pesticide applications when they are applied at the same time as pesticides.

Soil Applications:

Mix 3 gallons of AGGRAND 4-3-3 in 20 to 30 gallons of water. Apply solution to one acre (apply spring and fall if soil is hard and low in organic matter).

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.
