| Pre-Plant |
GOAL |
REASON |
Normal Soil
32 oz. AIM per acre
|
Aid in air and water exchange
|
These are water management tools that aid in air and water exchange critical to stimulating microorganisms in preparation for planting. RECLAIM also detoxifies and flushes harmful effects of sodium or carryover herbicides. Good for recovery from use of fungicides.
NOTE: *For pH higher than 6.8 and/or high sodium content. Also good for chemically damaged fields.
|
*Alkali/Sodium Soil
32 oz. RECLAIM per acre
|
Planting |
GOAL |
REASON |
4-6 oz. RENEW per acre
Spray over seedbed
|
Stimulate soil microorganisms and trigger for growth and disease resistance.
|
The application of RENEW is going to stimulate the soil microorganisms activity to give a ready supply of nutrients to the new onion plants.
|
Spray Program |
GOAL |
REASON |
1st spraying:
8-16 ounces of FOLIARPLEX per acre
Subsequent Sprayings
16-32 oz. FOLIARPLEX per acre
|
Increase growth/bulking, disease resistance, trigger plant reaction
|
Each spray application can be applied with fungicides and/or insecticides. We suggest using their lowest recommended label rates. FOLIARPLEX helps make the fungicides and insecticides act in a systemic way for longer retention and kill effects. Most growers extend spray program 2 to 4 days beyond normal rotation, eliminating two to three sprayings per growing season.
|
| Herbicide Spray Program |
Apply 16 fl. oz. FLAME per 100 gallon tank mix with contact herbicides.
|
| Fungicide Spray Program |
Apply 16 - 32 fl. oz. SS 9 per 100 gallon tank mix with fungicide.
|
| Insecticide Spray Program |
Apply 16 to 32 oz Insect-X-Citer per 100 tank mix with insecticides.
|
Note about Spraying:
We strongly recommend using an adjuvant with your spray program. AgPro™ specialty surfactants (SS 9, SPREADER STICKER, FLAME, INSECT-X-CIDER) have proven cost effective with spray applications of chemicals (fungicides, herbicides, pesticides) to allow lowest label rates with better results. The synergy can add potency and extend the chemical life and have allowed some growers to experiment and get exceptional results with well under label rates.
Please ask your AgPro™ representative for the appropriate product for your needs and grower's experiences in your area.
