Using AGGRAND to Grow Field Tomatoes

Field tomatoes require sufficient levels of macro and micronutrients to set fruit. Calcium (Ca) and potassium (K), and nitrogen (N) are especially critical. Insufficient levels of these nutrients produce diseased plants and poor quality fruit. The application of AGGRAND products, biological activators, and/or aerobically composted manure (or other material), inoculates the soil with microorganisms. The microbes convert natural fertilizer nutrients and fix atmospheric nitrogen into plant available nutrients, which speeds plant growth and development.

Soil Applications

Mix 2 to 3 gallons AGGRAND 4-3-3 Natural Fertilizer, 2 to 3 gallons AGGRAND 0-12-0 Natural Liquid Bonemeal, and 1 to 2 quarts AGGRAND 0-0-8 Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash with at least 100 gallons of water. Apply solution to one acre.

Keep well watered between fertilizations.

Banded Soil Applications

Mix 3 to 4 gallons AGGRAND 4-3-3 with 6 to 10 gallons of water (use enough water to allow correct flow rate through the micro tubing). Apply below and to the side of the seed or transplants at planting. Apply solution to one acre. The addition of 1 to 2 gallons of AGGRAND 0-12-0 and 2 to 4 quarts of AGGRAND 0-0-8 along with 4-3-3 may also be beneficial especially when phosphorus soil test levels are below 40 ppm and potassium soil test levels are below 150 ppm.

Pre-Plant Soil Applications

Mix 3 to 6 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).

Foliar Applications

Apply AGGRAND 4-3-3 to the leaves of tomatoes to supply additional nutrients.

Mix 1 to 3 gallons of AGGRAND 4-3-3 with 50 to 100 gallons of water and apply as a fine mist to the tops and bottoms of leaves. Apply enough solution to wet the leaf surfaces. Apply in 14 to 21 day intervals after the plants reach 2 to 3 true leaves. The critical stages for foliar applications are 2 to 3 true leaves; pre-bloom and early cluster formation.

Rates vary according to other inputs that are applied. Lower dilution rates are more effective than higher dilution rates. Two or three lighter applications may be more effective than one or two heavier applications. If other constraints allow only one application, 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 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.

Using AGGRAND to Grow Greenhouse Tomatoes

Greenhouse tomato production requires sufficient levels of macro and micronutrients to set fruit. Calcium (Ca) and potassium (K) are especially critical. Insufficient levels of these nutrients produce diseased plants and poor quality fruit.

Development of an organic system that stimulates rapid early growth and development is critical. The addition of a biological activator, aerobically composted (or other material), worm castings, or used potting mix inoculate the media with microorganisms. The microbes convert natural fertilizer nutrients and fix atmospheric nitrogen into plant available nutrients which speeds plant growth and development.

Planting Mix

Mix peat moss, perlite, and coarse vermiculite in a 2:1:1 ratio.

Substitute sandy loam, pumice, compost, castings, and etc. for part or all of the vermiculite.

Add 5 lbs of high calcium lime and 2.5 lbs of dolomite lime to one cubic yard of mix.

Soak the media with enough water to thoroughly wet the peat moss. Mix 1 gallon of AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime, and 1 qt. of AGGRAND 4-3-3 Natural Fertilizer with the water and add to one cubic yard of mix. Use a wetting agent to aid in wetting the mix. Add a biological activator to further stimulate biological activity.

Up to 1/3 used mix may be substituted for new mix. Blend them together after steps 1-4 are complete. Allow the mix to sit for several weeks before planting.

Soil Applications

Once seedlings have emerged and have developed 2 to 3 true leaves then begin fertilizing the soil. AGGRAND can be applied through greenhouse injection or mixed in a bucket and applied with a watering can. Rates are given for weekly applications. Adjust rates accordingly when applying more or less often.

Mix 1.5 oz. AGGRAND 4-3-3, 1 oz. AGGRAND 0-12-0 Natural Liquid Bonemeal, and 0.5 oz. AGGRAND 0-0-8 Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash with 1 gallon of water. Apply 1 cup of solution to each gallon of media.

Keep well watered between fertilizations. Leach the media with plenty of fresh water every 8 weeks or at least once during the growing cycle.

Foliar Applications

AGGRAND 4-3-3 can be applied to the leaves of greenhouse tomatoes to supply additional nutrients. Mix 1-2 oz. AGGRAND 4-3-3 with 1 gallon of water and apply as a fine mist to the tops and bottoms of the leaves. Apply enough solution to wet the leaf surfaces. Apply in 14 to 21 day intervals after the plants reach 2 to 3 true leaves. The critical stages for foliar applications are: 2 to 3 true leaves, pre-bloom, and early cluster formation.

Rates vary according to other inputs that are applied. Lower dilution rates are more effective than higher dilution rates. Two or three lighter applications may be more effective than one or two heavier applications. If other constraints only allow one application then do not exceed a 3% dilution rate (3 oz. of AGGRAND to 1 gal.of water).

The addition of a biodegradable surfactant increases uptake by promoting adhesion to the leaf surface. Apply AGGRAND in the early morning or late evening.

To reduce susceptibility to attack of insects and disease causing organisms foliar, apply 2 oz. of AGGRAND 4-3-3 or 1 oz. of AGGRAND 0-0-8 mixed in 1 gal. of water when signs of infestation begin to become apparent.

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
