Application rates for vegetable and field crops
HOW OFTEN AND WHEN TO APPLY (Fish or Fish/Seaweed Blend)
For vegetable crops and sweet corn we recommend you apply 3 gallons per acre 4 times a year.
1st Application: At planting. Broadcast or drip furrow.
2nd Application: Foliar spray when 1st primary leaves come out on vegetables, or on corn when plants are 8 to 10 inches tall.
3rd Application: Pre-blossom or with corn, pre- tassel.
4th Application: Pre-harvest
Never waste a trip; if you're going to the field to spray anything add some fish to your mix. The fish will enable your inputs to stay in the soil longer and could allow you to cut your Application rates.
*REMEMBER, IT IS BETTER TO FERTILIZE MORE OFTEN WITH LESS, THAN LESS OFTEN WITH MORE.
FIELD CROPS (3 options)
On field crops we recommend you put 2 gallon per acre 3 or 4 times a year. If because of constraints with your equipment or you're not being able to get onto the fields four times, put 4 to 6 gallons when you are able.
OPTION 1:
1st Application: At planting.
2nd Application: When grain are 4 to 5 inches tall, corn 8 to 10 inches tall and beans have first true leaves.
3rd Application: Pre-boot, pre-tassel or pre-blossom.
4th Application: Pre-harvest.
OPTION 2:
1st Application: 2 gallons per acre; at planting, or when crop comes out of dormancy.
2nd Application: 2 gallons per acre; after cutting, or if grazed, after you rotate.
3rd Application: 2 gallons per acre; same as above.
OPTION 3:
1st Application: 3 gallons per acre; at planting.
