DISEASE PREVENTION Companion® Biological Fungicide provides an

ecological approach to control a broad range of

fungal and bacterial diseases. A natural alternative to

overused chemical fungicides, which often lead to

resistance problems. Companion contains beneficial

rhizosphere bacteria that prevent root and foliar

diseases such as Pythium, Phytophthora, Fairy Ring,

and Fusarium. Once established in the soil, you have

the added benefits of improved nutrient uptake,

stronger roots, and better soil quality. Companion can

be used as a stand-alone fungicide or in conjunction

with chemical fungicides.

BIO-ORGANICS ARE IMPORTANTPROBLEM SOLVING TOOLS Today’s technology provides more organic solutions to

solving problems than ever before. Growth Products

emphasizes the importance of including these

beneficial ingredients in our products to correct difficult

growing conditions such as soil compaction, dry spots,

thatch build-up, pH problems, or salt accumulation.

Tired, overworked, poor soils will benefit from our

mycorrhizae and natural wetting agent, for a more

sustainable approach to plant health care, while

improving soil quality, reducing salt in soils and plant

stress.

FERTILITY THE GP WAY!Meeting the highest demands requires consistent

quality assurance, the purest raw materials, and

advance formulation technology. Our N-P-K fertilizers

achieve top agronomical efficacy because of our

proprietary slow release Smart Nitrogen, which

provides the benefit of controlled long lasting nitrogen

release. No other fertilizer brand can match our low

salt index and environmental benefits, such as no

chlorides. Product stand-outs include TKO Phosphite

0-29-26 that has a neutral pH for safe application,

and tapping innovative raw materials such as

potassium carbonate for soluble crystal clear solutions.

Harnessing Soil BiologyThe world’s largest biodiversity exists in our soils. Our Bio-technology harnesses this complexity of soilmicroorganisms, mycorrhizae, organic matter, and organicnutrients into highly stable and condensed liquids andwettable powders. Our key objective is to provide theprofessional with multifunctional products that will restoredepleted, poor soils, to a balanced, bio active and steadyenvironment that improve soil quality and most importantlymaintains a healthy environment for healthy thriving plantsand turf.

POWERFUL MICROORGANISMS

INNOVATIONC6H4(OH)COOH - Also Known AsSalicylic Acid The Greek physician Hippocrates wrote in the 5th centuryBC about a bitter powder extracted from willow bark thatcould ease aches and pains and reduce fevers, the first useof salicylic Acid, the key ingredient in aspirin. Today, aspirinis one of the most widely used medications in the world.Plants can benefit from this technology too. Whether aplant is being challenged from abiotic stress, osmoticstress, insects or pathogens, salicylic acid initiates theplant’s defenses against the attack.

Smart Slow Release Nitrogen Nitrogen is the nutrient most often deficient in plants andyet it is also the most over applied nutrient. Why is thiscontradiction? Nitrogen’s erratic behavior and industry’sless than technical approach has led to this waste innitrogen applications that leach or volatilize. GrowthProducts slow release nitrogen methylene technology is astrong long carbon molecule that is slowly andsystematically released as the plant requires it. It is stickyand adheres to soil and leaves, staying in place and feedingthe plant consistently. Many of Growth Products’ fertilizerscontain this special methylene nitrogen.

TECHNOLOGY

CHELATIONWhat are the Benefits of Chelation?Just like the vitamins we use to maintain our health,chelated minerals are easy for the body to absorb andutilize. Plants as well as humans require a health balance ofnutrients such as iron, manganese, and calcium. GrowthProducts “chelates” these micronutrients in a process thatcombines them into a soluble liquid metal. This allows themto be quickly utilized by turf, trees and other crops to showimmediate results. Yellow is the common visual symptom ofa plant lacking micronutrients, and can be solved quicklyturning a sick plant into a healthy one overnight.

Nitro-30 SRN (30-0-0) provides a sta-ble, highly concentrated liquid nitrogen source for spray applica-tions. Nitro-30 is a reacted UF polymer (ureaform); anitrogen/carbon chain material that is utilized by soil microor-ganisms. Nitro-30 is a true solution containing water solublemethylene urea along with small percentages of free urea. Nitro-30 provides residual nitrogen release, low volatilization andreduced leaching. It does not contain nitrates. The release ofnitrogen from Nitro-30 depends on soil microorganisms, hydrol-ysis and UV radiation. Since this molecule contains carbon, itprovides an energy source for beneficial microorganisms. Thenitrogen release works in conjunction with the increase in soiltemperature, microbial activity and the plant’s increased need fornitrogen. This form of nitrogen molecule resists leaching andvolatilization, making it a cost effective nitrogen source. Nitro-30is not phytotoxic to plant materials. Nitro-30 contains no sus-pended particles, NEEDS NO SPECIAL AGITATION, and can beused along with other technical products. It is ideal for fertigationsystems and is non-clogging and non-abrasive. Nitro-30 can besafely tank mixed with many acidic and alkaline materials. It is anexclusive proprietary product of Growth Products, Ltd.

SUGGESTED USES:Nitro-30 SRN (30-0-0) Liquid Fertilizer solution is a safe, non-burning, reliable nitrogen source for all turf grass applications(including cool, warm and transitional grasses), tree and orna-mental applications. Nitro-30 can be used along with other tech-nical products for low volume foliar spraying. Nitro-30 willenhance contact herbicides and insecticides. It is ideal for ferti-gation systems since it will not clog or cause abrasion.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:Turf Applications: Nitro-30 can be applied throughout the grow-

ing season on cool, warm and transitional grasses. Dilute withwater according to desired nitrogen rate per 1,000 sq. ft. (seeTank Mixing Chart for exact quantities for various rates of nitro-gen and different volume spraying). Because of Nitro-30’s effica-cy, yearly nitrogen application rates can be reduced by 1/3 ascompared to granular applications. Nitro-30 is ideal for low vol-ume spraying and is compatible with other N-P-K materials andtechnical products.

TEES, GREENS & FAIRWAYS:Nitro-30 is recommended for all types of grasses, includingKentucky Blue, Bent, Fescue, Perennial Rye, Bermuda, St.Augustine, Bahia, Zoysia and Centipede. Nitrogen applicationvaries according to climate and grass variety, so be sure to checkthe appropriate amount of nitrogen to apply per season as eachgrass variety will be different. Nitro-30 is compatible with mostother turf insecticides and fungicides and can be used in place ofgranular and solubles, providing a non-phytotoxic, slow releasenitrogen source. Nitro-30 is an environmentally sound product. You can applylower nitrogen rates than with granular products while achievingbetter results.

TREES & ORNAMENTALS:The nitrogen release period for deep root injection extends 3 to6 months depending on soil and climate conditions. There is nodanger of phytotoxicity. No special agitation is required. Fortrees, apply 1 lb. Nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. (under canopy). Inject4"-8" below soil surface, into root zone, with correctly calibratedtree fertilizer injection equipment. For ornamentals, apply 3/4 lb.Nitrogen twice a year as a soil drench.

GREENHOUSE & NURSERY:Nitro-30 is a high quality, concentrated slow release nitrogensolution. It has the lowest salt index of any nitrogen source at 0-4. It is ideal for both supplement feeding and constant feed ofnursery stock for both foliar and root uptake. This clear liquid canbe injected through fertigation, drip irrigation or overhead sprin-kler systems. For Supplemental Feeding: Use between applications of granularcoated fertilizer to level off nutrients that are often not availableor depleted because of adverse weather conditions. This will

extend nutrient availability at the end of feeding cycle to avoidcostly hand topdressing. Apply at the end of growing cycle priorto shipment, as a final feed to avoid labor, waste and spillage. For Constant Feed: Use on all nursery stock, potted and con-tainerized plants as both foliar or root feeding.

STORAGE & HANDLING:Do NOT store below 32o F for long periods of time. Freezing tem-peratures will cause Nitro-30 to become viscous and coagulate.If frozen, place in warmer temperatures and mix with warm waterNitro-30 will regain its normal fluid state. Freezing does not affectthe agronomic quality of this product.Bulk Storage: Nitro-30 can be stored in polypropylene, fiber-glass, stainless or mild steel tanks. Heat does not affect this prod-uct. Recommended storage temperature for Nitro-30 is 40o F andabove. When stored outside for long periods of time in tempera-tures <32o F it is recommended to dilute the concentrate withwater by 10-15% to assure fluidity. If outside temperature is lessthan 20o F, store inside warehouse. Nitro-30 SRN does notrequire any special agitation. It is not corrosive to most metalswith a slightly alkaline pH and can be used through any irriga-tion or spray equipment.Dilution: Nitro-30 can be diluted by either adding the concen-trate to water or the water to concentrate without any detrimentaleffects on the final mixed product. Appropriate quantities of watershould be added prior to adding potassium and phosphates orpesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Mixing: Nitro-30 SRN must first be diluted with water prior to mix-ing with other nutrients or pesticides. Do not mix concentratedtechnical materials together without first diluting with water. Careshould be taken when blending Nitro-30 SRN with highly acidicmaterials such as phosphoric acid or ammonium sulfate.Neutralize these materials to a pH of 7 or above. Potassiumphosphate, potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, urea and ureaammonium nitrate or phosphorus solutions may be readilyblended with Nitro-30 SRN after dilution with water.The following mixing procedures should be used after Nitro-30has been diluted with water. Add products to mix in this order: 1.wettable powders, 2. flowables, 3. water solubles, 4. surfactants,5. emulsifiable concentrates. Be sure to agitate during each addi-tion. Be sure each product is mixed well before adding next andapply all of the mixture that day. Nitro-30 can be mixed with cop-per based fungicides.


CAUTION: Keep out of reach of children. In case of contact witheyes, flush immediately with copious amounts of water. Contact aphysician. Do not take internally.

This concentrate solution pro-vides the most efficient and reliable sources of nitrogen andpotassium. Nitro+K contains a reacted UF polymer (methyleneurea), which is a carbon/nitrogen chain. It resists leaching andvolatilization, and provides a food source for soil microbes.Nitro+K is a safe and immediately available potassium source.With the adherence properties of this foliar solution, a turf man-ager can reduce yearly application rates of N and K by up to40%, making Nitro+K a cost effective fertilizer for tees, greens,and fairways. Since potassium can be quickly absorbed by leaftissue, turf will respond within a few days of application. The slowrelease nitrogen provides consistent nitrogen release without pro-ducing flush growth. This reduces unwanted thatch and possibledisease problems. Flush growth has been shown to contribute toan unhealthy root system. The production of excess shoot growthtakes away energy needed by the plant to produce a healthy rootsystem. Nitro+K does not contain any chlorides, nitrates, or sul-fates. This is of special importance, since these will build upunwanted salts in the soil, interfering with seed germination andcausing severe plant injury.

SUGGESTED USES:Nitro+K liquid fertilizer solution is a safe, low phytotoxic nitro-gen/potassium source for all turfgrass applications (includingcool, warm and transitional grasses). Nitro+K can be used withother technical materials for foliar applications. It will enhancethe adhesion of some fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides(making them rainfast). When used in combination with PGRs,Nitro+K has been shown to reduce the discoloration that com-monly occurs with the use of PGRs. Nitro+K is non-corrosive andnon-abrasive, and can be used through any fertigation equip-ment.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:Tees & Greens: Apply to tees at a rate of 1/10 to 1/8 lb. N per1,000 sq. ft. every 7 to 14 days with a spray unit applying no lessthan 1-2 gallons of tank mix per 1,000 sq.ft. This is the recom-mended rate for all turfgrass species, including the new varietiesof bentgrass, such as A-4 and G-2. Applying slow release nitro-gen will limit excess growth, and reduce the buildup of unwantedthatch.

Fairways: Apply on fairways at a rate of 1/4 to 1/3 lb. N per1,000 sq. ft. every month with a spray unit applying no less than2 gallons of tank mix per 1,000 sq. ft. Nitro+K is non-corrosiveand can be applied through a fertigation system. The use of aproduct that contains a high amount of slow release nitrogen hasbeen shown to eliminate surge growth that produces unwantedthatch. Nitro+K can be tank mixed with most pesticides.Applications of 22-0-16, in combination with PGRs, have shownto eliminate the unwanted discoloration that often occurs when

PGRs are applied. Due to the dual efficiency (foliar and rootabsorption) of liquid fertilizers, you should use only 1/2 the rateof commonly used granular fertilizers. Always use a jar testbefore mixing pesticides in your tank. Although Nitro+K has a pHof 10.5, it is important to note that Nitro+K has an acidifyingeffect on soil. Be sure to check the labels of your technical prod-ucts for pH compatibility.

STORAGE & HANDLING:If stored below 32o F Nitro+K will become very viscous. No spe-cial agitation is needed. It can be tank mixed with other technicalmaterials. Nitro+K is alkaline (with a pH of 10.5) and compati-ble with copper-based fungicides. Mixing: Nitro+K must first be diluted with water prior to mixingwith other nutrients or pesticides. Do not mix concentrated tech-nical materials together without first diluting with water. Careshould be taken when blending Nitro+K with highly acidic mate-rials such as phosphoric acid or ammonium sulfate. Neutralizethese materials to a pH of 7 or above. Potassium phosphate,potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, urea and urea ammoniumnitrate or phosphorus solutions may be readily blended withNitro+K after dilution with water.The following mixing procedures should be used after Nitro+Khas been diluted with water. Add products to mix in this order: 1.wettable powders, 2. flowables, 3. water solubles, 4. surfactants,5. emulsifiable concentrates. Be sure to agitate during each addi-tion. Be sure each product is mixed well before adding next and

apply all of the mixture that day. Nitro+K can be mixed with cop-per based fungicides.

patible with most technical turf products. Always use a jar testbefore mixing pesticides in your tank. In Southern areas whereRye overseeding is practiced, use 18-0-6 at a rate of 1/8 to 1/3lb. nitrogen every 10 to 17 days to assure a steady and continu-ous source of nutrients.

TREE CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:Root Application Rates: For determining tree fertilization rates,measure the trunk diameter of the tree (DBH) 4 1/2 feet aboveground. Growth Products liquid fertilizers should be injected intothe top 4 to 8 inches of soil where feeder roots extend. Startapplication of fertilizer approximately 2 - 3 feet from tree trunkand extend the same distance from the drip line. A grid patternshould be laid out, and spacing should be every 2 1/2 ft. A min-imum of 5 gallons of tank mix should be applied per inch of treediameter. Inject approximately 1/2 gal. of fertilizer solution ateach point. Trees & Ornamentals: Growth Products liquid fertilizers containmethylene urea, which has an extremely low salt index and resistsleaching. 18-0-6 is a true solution and is ideal for root injectionand for use through IPM units. Inject no lower than 8" belowground with correctly calibrated fertilizer injector equipment. SeeInjection Application Rate Chart.

STORAGE & HANDLING:Storage: All Growth Products professional liquid fertilizers can bestored in normal warehouse areas and are not affected by heator freezing temperatures. 18-0-6 has a neutral pH and is neithercorrosive or abrasive. Dilution: 18-0-6 can be diluted by either adding the concentrateto water or the water to concentrate without any detrimentaleffects on the final product. Appropriate quantities of watershould be added to the tank prior to adding pesticides, fungicidesor herbicides. Never mix concentrated materials together withoutfirst diluting with water.Mixing: High quality buffers allow 18-0-6 to be blended withacidic or alkaline materials. The following mixing proceduresshould be used after 18-0-6 has been diluted with water. Addproducts to mix in this order: 1. wettable powders, 2. flowables,3. water solubles, 4. surfactants, 5. emulsifiable concentrates. Besure to agitate during each addition before adding next. Whenmixing technical materials, check each product's mixing instruc-tions. Apply all of mixture the same day.

It provides quickabsorption by the plant resulting in greener turf, even at low soiltemperatures. Use when a liquid type of ammoniacal nitrogensource and sulfur is required.Nitro-22 has a neutral to slightly basic (7.5-8) pH and is a clearliquid solution, containing 22% nitrogen and 4% sulfur. It is com-patible with most liquid fertilizer materials. Nitrogen and sulfurare important components of proteins. Sulfur deficiency canaffect the plant’s ability to utilize nitrogen for protein synthesis. When applied to soils, ammonium sulfate decomposes quickly inthe soil to give sulfate sulfur (SO4

-2). This sulfur is immediatelyavailable for plant uptake, whereas elemental sulfur (S) mustundergo oxidation for longer term release. The advantage of Nitro-22 is that the sulfur needed for plantgrowth becomes available over several weeks. The sulfur inNitro-22 will help reduce the pH of soils that are too alkaline.

APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS:Do not apply Nitro-22 directly on or below germinating seedssuch as in a “pop up” fertilizer. Dry soil condition and/or combi-nation with other starter fertilizers may damage germination.Always irrigate with sufficient water to reduce the possibility of fer-tilizer injury. Avoid application during mid day when tempera-tures are high.Do not mix Nitro-22 with acids or other acidic materials below apH of 6. Prior to any fertilizer or pesticide application, all spray

mixing and application equipment must be cleaned. Carefullyobserve all cleaning directions on the pesticide and fertilizerlabel. Fill the sprayer or mix tank at least half full with water andbegin agitation. Add pesticides and/or fertilizers as directed bylabeling or in the following sequence:1. Dry flowables or water dispersible granules, 2. Wettable pow-ders, 3. Flowables, 4. Emmulsifiable concentrates, 5. W a t e rbased solutions, 6. Compatibility agents, 7.

Many palmspecies that are not native have special fertility needs and aremore susceptible to developing nutrient deficiencies and dis-eases. Palm Pro can be used for a low water volume palm pro-gram as recommended for urban plantings where paved areasmake it difficult to apply large volumes of water. Palm Pro hasbeen formulated and tested for low salts so that it will not injurepalms. This program utilizes five times less water than a standardprogram. Be sure to follow all mixing instruction carefully. Established Palms: The vast majority of palms planted are plant-ed in sandy soils, which have a very low cation capacity and tendto quickly leach nutrients. Established palms require fertilization aminimum of twice per year, ideally four times per year. Palm Prohas an ideal ratio of nitrogen to potassium, which is essential forhealthy palms. Palm Pro contains 60% slow release nitrogen,which is important to maintain a continuous feed of nitrogen.

Soil Injection: Begin root injection approximately 2-4 ft. awayfrom trunk. Fertilizer under entire canopy in grid pattern. Inject toa depth of 6” – 8” for trees. Inject at a rate of 1 qt. of tank mixper injection site.

Liquid Potassium providesyou with 100% soluble potassium for immediate plant and turfuptake through both foliar and root feeding. Liquid Potassiumcan be applied throughout the growing season to correct potas-sium deficiencies quickly. As a fall fertilization product, it providesthe maximum amount of potash in solution, and will help toimprove stress tolerance from drought, winter and traffic. Sinceall nutrients are in a soluble form, turf can respond within a fewdays of applications. Since all Growth Products fertilizers areTRUE SOLUTIONS no special agitation is needed.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:Turf Applications: Liquid Potassium can be used on warm season,transitional and cool season grass. It can correct potassium defi-ciencies caused by poor soil conditions or stress. Use LiquidPotassium throughout the growing season beginning in earlyspring, and as an additional source of potassium to supplementother fertilization programs. Apply on tees and greens using noless than 1.5 gallons of tank mix per 1,000 ft2 Liquid Potassiumis compatible with most other technical turf products. Always usea jar test before mixing pesticides and fertilizers in your tank.

PH ADJUSTMENT: As a pH booster, 0-0-25 will adjust both water pH and soil. It isimportant to check the pH of any mix prior to use. Each soil mixwill have a different buffering capacity (resistance to a change inpH levels). For example, bark is more resistant than other soillessmixes. Be sure to check the pH of your mix after each application.pH Booster can be mixed with other lime or flowable lime prod-ucts to make their slurry more flowable and increase their per-formance.

STORAGE & HANDLING:Storage: Liquid Potassium can be stored in normal warehouse areas.Heat or freezing temperatures do not affect it.

Mixing: Liquid Potassium must first be diluted with water prior to mix-ing with other nutrients or technical materials. Liquid Potassium is analkaline material with a pH of 11.5 and should not be added as aconcentrate to highly acidic materials. When using a phosphorussource such as 0-30-0 always first dilute with appropriate amounts ofwater. Add Liquid Potassium to the tank mix slowly while continuous-ly mixing. A small amount of effervescence will occur. The followingmixing procedure should be followed after Liquid Potassium has beendiluted with appropriate amounts of water. Add products to mix inthis order: 1. wettable powders, 2. flowables, 3. water solubles, 4.surfactants, 5. emulsifiable concentrates. Be sure to agitate duringeach addition. Be sure each product is mixed well before adding thenext. Apply all of mixture in same day. Always use a jar test beforemixing pesticides and fertilizers in your tank.

Tees & Greens: Apply on greens and tees 7 to 9 oz. (1/10 to 1/8lb. N) per 1,000 sq. ft. with a spray unit applying no less than 1-2 gal. tank mix per 1,000 sq. ft. This is the recommended rate forBentgrass greens and tees. 18-6-12 is compatible with most tech-nical turf products. Always use a jar test before mixing pesticidesin your tank. In Southern areas where Rye overseeding is prac-ticed, use 18-6-12 at a rate of 1/8 to 1/3 lb. nitrogen every 10to 17 days to assure a steady and continuous source of nutrients.

TREE CARE RECOMMENDATIONS:Root Application Rates: For determining tree fertilization rates,measure the trunk diameter of the tree (DBH) 4 1/2 feet aboveground. Growth Products liquid fertilizers should be injected intothe top 4 to 8 inches of soil where feeder roots extend. Startapplication of fertilizer approximately 2 - 3 feet from tree trunkand extend the same distance from the drip line. A grid patternshould be laid out, and spacing should be every 2 1/2 ft. A mini-mum of 5 gallons of tank mix should be applied per inch of treediameter. Inject approximately 1/2 gal. of fertilizer solution at eachpoint.

Trees & Ornamentals: Growth Products liquid fertilizers containmethylene urea, which has an extremely low salt index and resistsleaching. 18-6-12 is a true solution and is ideal for root injectionand for use through IPM units. Inject no lower than 8" belowground with correctly calibrated fertilizer injector equipment. SeeInjection Application Rate Chart.

NURSERY APPLICATIONS:18-6-12 is a high quality, concentrated slow release nitrogen/potassium solution. It is ideal for both supplement feeding andconstant feed of nursery stock for both foliar and root uptake.This clear liquid can be injected through fertigation, drip irriga-tion or overhead sprinkler systems.

For Supplemental Feeding: Use between applications of granularcoated fertilizer to level off nutrients that are often not availableor depleted because of adverse weather conditions. This willextend nutrient availability at the end of feeding cycle to avoidcostly hand topdressing. Apply at the end of growing cycle priorto shipment, as a final feed to avoid labor, waste and spillage. For Constant Feed: Use on all nursery stock, potted and con-tainerized plants as both foliar or root feeding.

STORAGE & HANDLING:Storage: All Growth Products professional liquid fertilizers can bestored in normal warehouse areas and are not affected by heator freezing temperatures. 18-6-12 has a neutral pH and is nei-ther corrosive or abrasive. Dilution: 18-6-12 can be diluted by either adding the concentrateto water or the water to concentrate without any detrimentaleffects on the final product. Appropriate quantities of watershould be added to the tank prior to adding pesticides, fungicidesor herbicides. Never mix concentrated materials together withoutfirst diluting with water.Mixing: High quality buffers allow 18-6-12 to be blended withacidic or alkaline materials. The following mixing proceduresshould be used after 18-6-12 has been diluted with water. Addproducts to mix in this order: 1. wettable powders, 2. flowables,3. water solubles, 4. surfactants, 5. emulsifiable concentrates. Besure to agitate during each addition before adding next.

Product Description:Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide is a broad-spectrum biological

fungicide used for the prevention, control, and suppression of a broadrange of important soil borne and foliar diseases. Companion

®Liquid

Biological Fungicide contains the active ingredient Bacillus subtilis GB03 forthe control of Anthracnose (Colletotrichum graminicola), Brown Patch(Rhizoctonia spp.), Dollar Spot (Sclerotinia), Summer Patch (Magnaporthepoae), Fusarium Patch (Fusarium nivale), Pythium (Pythium spp.) and RootRot (Phytophthora). Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide’s unique liquid

formulation contains Bacillus subtilis GB03 spores that remain stable formore than two years. Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide's rich organ-

ic solution acts as a food source to help the Bacillus subtilis multiply andestablish colonies. Bacillus subtilis GB03 is a gram-positive (spore-forming)soil bacterium. Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide is most effective when applied

prior to the onset of disease. Use Companion®Liquid Biological Fungicide

in combination and rotation with chemical fungicides to enhance diseasecontrol. To insure optimal results in the field, it is important to store, handle,and apply the product in an appropriate manner.Modes of Action: Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide has multiple modes of action in

preventing and controlling plant diseases. It produces a broad-spectrumantibiotic (Iturin) that disrupts pathogen cell-wall formation. It is a competi-tive and fast colonizing rhizosphere bacterium, which occupies the plant’sroot hairs preventing the growth and antagonistic effects of soil bornepathogens. Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide is known to stimulate

phytohormones, which trigger the plant’s systemic resistance to disease ISR(Induced Systemic Resistance), the defense mechanisms of the plant for pro-longed periods of time. It is non-selective to plant materials. PGPR (Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria): Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide’s Bacillus subtilis GB03 is classified

as a Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR are free-livingbacteria that have beneficial effects on plants as they enhance rooting andstimulate growth.

INTEGRATED PEST (DISEASE) MANAGEMENT (IPM)Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide is an important tool in sound dis-

ease management whenever fungicide use is necessary. Apply Companion®

Liquid Biological Fungicide alone or in combination and / or rotation withchemical fungicides. This will result in reduced susceptibility to disease andoverall reduction in the use of chemical fungicides. Consult local agricul-tural authorities for specific IPM strategies developed for your crop (s) andlocation.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENTCompanion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide is an important tool to prevent the

development of resistant pathogens that often occurs with chemical fungi-cide products. Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide’s multiple and

unique modes of action inhibit the pathogen’s ability to develop resistance.Use Companion

®Liquid Biological Fungicide in combination with lower

rates of chemical fungicide for improved efficacy and /or in rotation withchemical fungicides to reduce chemical applications.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONSTank Mixing: SHAKE WELL before use and before mixing with water. Companion

Essential is pasteurized and homogenized to bea homogeneous solution. Each ingredient has been selected toprovide all the various stages of organic decomposition (fromfast decomposers to more complex forms of carbon requiringcomplex decomposition). Essential contains 21 L-amino acidsthat promotes nutrient absorption, and stimulates the plantsessential metabolic activities. It also becomes an available foodsource for soil microorganisms. High concentrates of active, sol-

uble humic acid, humus and cellulosefiber will help to replenish soils that havebeen depleted of organic matter.Essential will improve poor or subsoilconditions and compaction. Essentialwill improve plant physiology with sugars, 21amino acids and nutrients that are not available in N-P-K fertilizers.

FOOD SOURCE FOR MICROBIAL ACTIVITY:Beneficial microorganisms need organic matter as a foodsource to survive and increase their population. Essential has ahigh carbon content that slowly decomposes, restoring organicmatter back into the soil. This is especially important in over-worked urban settings such as golf courses, estates, corporatesites, and other manicured landscape settings.

ENHANCES PLANT PHYSIOLOGY:Turf, trees, ornamentals, and nursery and greenhouse stockneed more than just N-P-K fertilizers to remain in superiorhealth. Essential contains vitamins, enzymes, carbohydrates,sugars, amino acids and root stimulators (from kelp). Thesenutrients are absorbed and utilized by the plant to enhancegrowth, vitality and stress resistance. Essential contains naturalplant growth regulators that encourage cell division, root devel-opment and seed germination.

REJUVENATES SOIL STRUCTURE:Essential contains high percentages of active, soluble humates,plant extracts, cellulose fiber and a natural wetting agent whichare critical to maintain healthy soil. By adding organic matterback into soils that have been depleted, even the most difficultsoil conditions can be improved. These ingredients also reducecompaction and improve cation exchange capacities.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:Essential is 100% soluble for spray applications foliar feeding, soilinjection, or use in irrigation systems. Essential may be mixed withother technical materials and sprayed in one application, savinglabor. Essential can be used on all types of turf grass, shrubs, trees,evergreens and flowering plants, as well as organically grown foodcrops.

SUGGESTED USES:USGA Spec Tees & Greens: Essential should be part of the reg-ular maintenance program to increase the organic matter con-tent in soils and feed beneficial soil microorganisms. Essentialshould be used on newly built tees and greens to increase thecation exchange capacity. Regular use of Essential will improvethe ability of sandy soils to hold nutrients. Essential will improveseed germination and stimulate root growth.

Clay Soils: Calcareous soils often lead to compaction and nutri-ent availability problems because of the lack of organic matter.Fertilizers cannot correct the problem and often lead to the buildup salts. Essential’s high concentration of organic matter and nat-ural wetting agent can penetrate the encrusted soil and beginrestoration. Apply Essential throughout the entire growing sea-son. Immediately apply after aeration has been completed or topdressing has been applied.

Lawn Care and Landscaping: Essential should be used in con-junction with a regular fertilization program or as a stand aloneproduct when a natural organic program is required. Essentialshould be applied to all renovated areas and construction sites,where soil has been removed or adequate top soil is lacking.Tree Care: Established trees and ornamentals in urban settingsare often deprived of renewable organic matter during the courseof grooming. Essential can be used for year round tree care, toenhance liquid and soluble fertilizer programs. Essential shouldbe used in the summer to reduce stress problems. All newly trans-planted trees and ornamentals should have Essential applied.Transplants need additional care to promote root developmentand enhance the uptake of usable nutrients and storage of car-bohydrates. Essential will decrease transplant shock and stimu-late root growth. In excavation areas and construction sitesEssential should be applied at double the normal maintenancerate. Renovation problems such as compaction and lack ofmicrobial activity that result in plant stress and death can beavoided with Essential.

STORAGE & HANDLING:Essential should be stored in normal warehouse conditions. Itshould not be stored in direct sunlight or temperatures above 95°for long periods of time. Replace cap after using. Never storeexposed to the air. Since Essential contains a high percentage ofsolids it is important to mix or shake well before use. Essential ismade from natural organic products and is therefore safe to han-dle and use. Essential is compatible with all fertilizers and techni-cal products.

Control De-thatcher contains powerful enzymes thatbreak down specific components of thatch.The breakdown of complex organic materials like thatch is oftenvery difficult because of the high ratio of lignin and cellulosefibers. It requires a balance of naturally occurring soil microbes,select enzymes and an adjustment in the ratio of carbon to nitro-gen for this breakdown to occur. Thatch requires microbial activ-ity to break down and become a food source for plant materials.If any one of these elements is missing, thatch formation willincrease, severely interfering with the turf's ability to absorb nutri-ents and water. The specific microbes contained in Control De-Thatcher whenapplied to the soil produce significant quantities of protease and

cellulase that will digest protein contained in thatch and otherorganic compounds in the soil. Bacillus also produces cellulase,amylases, lipases, xylanases, and pectinases, which breach downorganic matter into valuable nutrients. Excellent for acceleratingcomposting of any organic waste materials.

THE C/N RATIOThe unique nitrogen source contained in Control De-Thatcher isa synthetic organic compound (carbon / nitrogen molecule). Thisslowly available nitrogen provides both carbon and nitrogen forsoil microorganisms. With the addition of De-Thatcher, the C/Nratio -as it narrows- further encourages decomposition of organ-ic residues. The slow release nitrogen source discourages the for-mation of additional thatch that is produced as a result of fastrelease nitrogen sources. Since, De-Thatcher contains 10% SRN,you can reduce the nitrogen rates in your fertility program. MIXING: De-Thatcher can be tank mixed with other technicalmaterials. Use all of tank mix solution within 6 hours. SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING. DO NOT FREEZE

(1.00 kg) PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:pH Reducer is designed for soil and water applications, where thepH needs to be lowered into a more acidic range. Citric Acidsolution is an organic based material that is a natural and envi-ronmentally sound management tool for lowering alkaline soilconditions.

SOIL CONDITIONER: Turf Applications: Many calcareous soils have very high pHranges (above 7) that make turf grass maintenance difficult. Thisalso tends to tie up many micronutrients, leaving turf grasseschlorotic. USGA spec sands and top dressings usually have ahigh pH and need to be lowered to an ideal range of 6 to 6.5pH. Apply at a rate of 2 to 6 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. on a monthlybasis. Some soils contain high levels of minors that are often inan unavailable, oxidized form not available for plant uptake. Byapplying citric acid solutions, minors can be chelated and mademore available for turf grasses. pH reducer can be used in placeof sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate. Trees and Ornamentals: Many plant materials prefer acid soil inthe pH range of 5 to 6.5. Soil pH is often above 7 from high cal-cium levels. By applying pH reducer as a root injection or soildrench, soil pH can be lowered slowly and gently without anydetrimental effects to the plant materials. Apply at a rate of 2 to4 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 1 qt. of pH reducer in 100 gal of water. Greenhouse Soil Mixes: pH reducer is an ideal product to helpreduce the pH of many soils and soil less mixes.

WATER PH REDUCER: Many water supplies have very high pH levels, and continuousapplication of this water will tend to raise the pH of many soils.By adding citric acid solution, hard water levels can be lowered.This will also reduce the possibility of soil pH drifting upwards.The buffer capacity of every water supply differs. Be sure to slow-ly add citric acid to a tank mix and check with a pH meter or lit-mus paper until the desired pH is reached. If tank mix is not usedthe same day it is mixed, be sure to check pH again and adjustif necessary.

TANK MIX BUFFER SOLUTION: Many herbicides and fungicides require an acidic tank mix solution to assure the best efficacy. Be sure to slowly add citric acid to a tank mix and check with apH meter or litmus paper until the desired pH is reached. DONOT FREEZE

EQUIPMENT & TANK CLEANING: Mixing: pH Reducer is acidic. It must first be diluted with waterprior to mixing with other nutrients or technical materials. pHreducer should not be added in concentrate to highly alkalinematerials. Hard and alkaline water sources will leave residuesand mineral build up on tanks, lines and irrigation heads. Flushtanks and lines with a solution of 1 gallon citric acid to 100 gal-lons of water. Follow by flushing with water to rinse out lines toclean out drip irrigation systems.

Silica hard-ens the leaf and helps strengthen the xylem vessels during timesof high transpiration, reducing water loss. Green-Speed Si con-tains Potassium Phosphite which promotes turf health andincreases the turf’s resistance to disease and pests. Potassiumalso builds carbohydrate reserves. The humic acid increasesnutrient uptake through the leaf and root tissue. It is designed forfoliar application on all varieties of turf grasses on greens, teesand roughs, sports turf, lawns and ornamental grasses. GreenSpeed can be used in a regular maintenance program. It is bestto apply Green Speed prior to heavy traffic or prior to times ofheat stress.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:Green-Speed is used at the rate of 3 - 4 oz per 1,000 sq. ft. Onegallon of Green-Speed will treat approximately one acre ofgreens or sports fields. Apply every 2 to 3 weeks throughout theseason. For tournament preparation, apply 3 to 4 days before thetournament date for maximum results. Application with low vol-ume sprayers is not recommended. Green-Speed does not haveto be watered in. However, you can water it in lightly withoutaffecting the results. For optimum results, Green-Speed can betank mixed with Essential® Plus 1-0-1.

STORAGE & HANDLING:Storage: All Growth Products professional liquid fertilizers can bestored in normal warehouse areas. Keep from freezing.Mixing: Dilute at the rate of 1 to 100 in water if possible. Put halfthe water in the tank and add Green-Speed.

Green-Speed is an alkaline material with a pH of 12 and should NOT be mixed with acidic or acid-producing chemicals. The following mixing procedure should be followed afterGreen-Speed has been diluted with appropriate amounts ofwater. Add products to mix in this order: 1. wettable powders,2. flowables, 3. water solubles, 4. surfactants, 5. emulsifiableconcentrates. Be sure to agitate during each addition. Be sureeach product is mixed well before adding the next. Apply all ofmixture in same day. Always use a jar test before mixing Green-Speed Si with pesti-cides and fertilizers in your tank.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:KnockOut is a new and unique combination product that con-tains readily available calcium and a natural surfactant/wettingagent from yucca. It is an effective tool to reduce sodium levels insoils or bicarbonate accumulation from irrigation water.KnockOut quickly penetrates even the most difficult soils. It willalso increase the permeability of soils while reducing soluble saltsthat build up in soils from high water salinity. It can be used onsoilless media where excessive salt build up often occurs fromcontinued use of pesticides and high salt fertilizers. Soil salinity isone of the most serious turf problems especially, in high pH soils.KnockOut’s calcium is in a 100% soluble form that is immediatelyavailable to react with the sodium, unlike gypsum based prod-ucts. Calcium cation ranges between 65 - 70% (Cation ExchangeCapacity - CEC). CEC measures the soil’s ability to hold nutrientssuch as potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca) aswell as other positively charged ions such as sodium (Na) andhydrogen(H). It is a much safer alternative to chlorides and sul-fates.KnockOut will improve soil structure, enhance better rooting,water infiltration and improve overall turf quality.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:Correcting harmful saline-sodic and sodic soils must be carriedout in steps beginning with restoration, followed by continuedmaintenance. Make repeated applications 2 - 4 weeks apart.Following treatment, apply adequate irrigation to wash productinto the soil.

STORAGE & HANDLING: Store in normal warehouse areas. Keep from Freezing.

MIXING: The following mixing procedure should be followed afterKnockOut has been diluted with appropriate amounts of water.Add products to mix in this order: 1. wettable powders, 2. flow-ables, 3. water solubles, 4. surfactants, 5. emulsifiable concen-trates. Be sure to agitate during each addition. Be sure eachproduct is mixed well before adding the next. Apply all of mixturein same day. Always use a jar test before mixing KnockOut withpesticides and fertilizers in your tank.

ers, natural wetting agent and rich organic supplements. Easy toapply on existing trees and landscaped areas to reduce stress oftrees, large ornamentals and other landscape materials.Mycorrhizal will improve uptake of nutrients, minerals andabsorption of water. Bacillus strains produce a variety ofenzymes, PGRs and metabolites that aid in the breakdown oforganic fertilizers and organic matter. Bacillus rapidly colonizethe root’s surface (niche occupation) and stimulate root growth,maintain healthy root system and crowd out invading pathogens.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:Mix one packet of Total-Pak in 50 gallons of water. For groundarea method, measure below drip line of tree. Use standard soilinjection equipment. Pump requirements of between 100 - 200psi is needed for good coverage. Be sure to calibrate your equip-ment by using a pre-measured container and time how long ittakes to fill the container using the feeding needle.

ROOT INJECTION RATES:Total-Pak should be injected into the top 4" to 8" inches of soilwhere feeder roots extend. Start application approximately 2-3feet from tree trunk. Extend the same distance beyond drip line.Lay out a grid pattern, and spacing should be every 2 1/2 ft. Aminimum of 1 quart of tank mix should be applied per hole. Besure to measure the tree DBH in order to calculate the totalamount of mix needed. For difficult, compacted soils it is desir-able to add a natural wetting agent such as Hydro-Max.

Inadequate amounts of Magnesium will first appearas a general loss of green color at bottoms of older leaves (inter-veinal chlorosis). Continued deficiency will also affect youngerleaves, followed by formation of lesions. Calcium andMagnesium deficiencies occur mostly in soils with a high pH over8 and acidic soils with a pH less than 6.5. High levels of calciumand potassium will also reduce Magnesium uptake. Turf Applications: Soil testing is necessary to determine levels.Where Calcium and Magnesium levels are deficient or marginal,apply Cal Mag Max throughout the growing season. This can beadded to any fertilizer spray solution.

STORAGE & HANDLING:Storage: May be stored in a normal warehouse area and is notaffected by heat or freezing temperatures. Cal Mag Max does notneed any special agitation. It has a neutral pH and is not corrosiveor abrasive.Dilution: Cal Mag Max can be diluted by either adding the concen-trate to water or the water to concentrate without any detrimentaleffects on the final mixed product. Appropriate quantities of watershould be added prior to adding potassium, pesticides, fungicidesand herbicides.Mixing: Cal Mag Max is NOT compatible with phosphate fertilizers,and must be mixed and applied separately. First be diluted with waterprior to mixing with other nutrients or pesticides. The following mix-ing procedures should be used after Cal Mag Max has been diluted

with water. Add products to mix in this order: 1. wettable powders, 2.flowables, 3. water solubles, 4. surfactants, 5. emulsifiable concen-trates. Be sure to agitate during each addition, mix well beforeadding next product. Apply all of mixture that day. Do not mix withstrong acid materials.

This pro-vides immediate plant uptake to correct deficiencies through boththe leaves and root tissue. Calcium is known to be essential forplant membrane integrity, proper cell division and overall plantvigor and stiffness. It is important in cell wall bonding and pro-motes enzyme activation for starch conversion. Cal-Tec 9% canbe used during hot weather to reduce stress during times of hightranspiration. Calcium is also important to improve soil structure,reduce salt build up and soil compaction from road salts andurban stress. Calcium is often used to improve the cationexchange capacity of the soil, raise pH of soil and help reducethe build up of toxic salts.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS: When determining the application rates of Cal-Tec 9%, it isimportant to check both tissue and soil sample analysis for calci-um levels. Since calcium is the second highest percentage in planttissue, correct any deficiencies early in the spring and continue toapply throughout the growing season. Cal-Tec 9% providesimmediately available calcium along with nitrogen for correctionof calcium deficiencies. Hot weather will also aggravate calciumdeficiencies. Calcium deficiencies become evident at terminalbud growth, with hooked malformation and finally dying back.

Soil Conditioning: Calcium is often used to improve the cationexchange capacity of the soil, raise pH of the soil, and helpreduce the build up of toxic salts. Check soil analysis for calciumrequirements. For sand tees and greens monthly applications arerequired to improve cation exchange capacity.

This chelate is idealfor both soil and foliar uptake, since this chelate is absorbedthrough foliar spray. Manganese Chelate 5% is made fromorganic sugars that are easily absorbed intact along with thechelated metal. Mn is available for microbial activity in the soil.The pH of Manganese Chelate 5% is 7.5, making it ideal for mix-ing with pH acid sensitive products. It is not affected by soil con-ditions, other nutrients or technical grade materials. ManganeseChelate 5% will remain in a soluble form for plant uptake sinceit remains as a negative charge ion and is not attracted to nega-tively charged soil particles. Manganese Chelate 5% is compati-ble with all Growth Products professional fertilizers and can becombined in all tank mix solutions for spoon feeding. Be sure toread mixing instructions and do a jar test before use. Universitystudies indicate that Glucoheptonates are ideal for foliar appli-cations and are more efficient than EDTA chelates in high pHsoils.

MANGANESE DEFICIENCIES:Manganese plays an important role in enzyme formation in plantcells, and carbon dioxide assimilation. Manganese deficiencieswill often occur in water bogged soils and low temperatures.Inadequate amounts of manganese in soil will result in interveinalchlorosis first in older leaves. Continued deficiency will also affectyounger leaves, followed by formation of lesions.

TURF APPLICATIONS: Soil testing is necessary to determine manganese levels. Wheremanganese levels are deficient or marginal apply manganesethroughout the growing season. It may be added to any fertilizerspray solution.

STORAGE & HANDLING:Mixing: Manganese Chelate 5% is not compatible with phosphatefertilizers, and must be mixed and applied separately.

Magnesium Chelate 3% is environmental-ly sound, and is made from organic sugars that are easilyabsorbed intact along with the chelated metal and utilized in theplant cell. Magnesium Chelate 3% is available for microbialactivity in the soil. This type of chelate is especially efficient in highpH soils, or calcareous soils and is recommended over EDTAchelates. Magnesium Chelate 3% is a near neutral pH of 6.5 andis ideal for mixing with pH acid sensitive products. It is not affect-ed by soil conditions, other nutrients or technical grade materials.Magnesium Chelate 3% will remain in a soluble form for plantuptake since it remains a double ++ charge ion and is notattracted to negatively charged soil particles. Magnesium Chelate3% is compatible with all Growth Products professional fertilizers.Be sure to read all mix instructions prior to tank mix solutions.

MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCIES:Magnesium is a very important secondary nutrient. It is part of thechlorophyll molecule, and is necessary for sugar formation.Inadequate amounts of magnesium will first appear as a gener-al loss of green color at bottoms of older leaves (interveinalchlorosis). Continued deficiency will also affect younger leaves,followed by formation of lesions. Magnesium deficiencies occurmostly in sandy soils and in extremely high pH soils. High levelsof calcium and potassium will also reduce magnesium uptake. Turf Applications: Soil testing is necessary to determine magne-sium levels. Where magnesium levels are deficient or marginal,apply Magnesium Chelate 3% throughout the growing season.This can be added to any fertilizer spray solution. Trees, Ornamentals & Palms: Magnesium Chelate 3% can beused as a soil or foliar spray to correct Magnesium deficiencies.Dilute 24-36 oz. in 100 gallons of water. Spray leaf surface untilcovered.

STORAGE & HANDLING:Mixing: Magnesium Chelate 3% is NOT compatible with phos-phate fertilizers, and must be mixed and applied separately.

A GUIDE TO THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATIONOF A TREE AND SHRUB FERTILIZATION PROGRAM

• If part of the root zone is covered (i.e. driveway, house,pool, etc...), place injections closer together in theuncovered area.

• Always monitor gallonage being used on each tree inorder to avoid using too much or not enough.

• If the ground is excessively compacted, a soil drenchcontaining Essential will help loosen the soil and allowfor needle penetration.

• Soil drenches and foliar sprays are alsorecommended for smaller shrubs and ornamentalsplanted in mulch, chips or landscape stones.

• In order to avoid damaging shrubs and ornamentalsfrom dragging hoses through and around planted andlandscaped areas, liquids can be used as a foliar or soildrench.

• For ornamentals and smaller plants, a rule of thumbis to place holes closer together and apply less fertilizermixture per hole.

•Foliar applications of micronutrients will rapidly correctdiscoloration caused by chlorosis. This should be donein conjunction with a pH test and soil injection topermanently correct the problem.

• Apply fertilizer to shrubs and flower beds at time of re-mulching.

• With Growth Products liquid solutions, there are nobroken or solidified bags, no settling, no clogging, andno worn out parts from abrasion.

• All of our products are safe because of their low saltindex and slow release nitrogen sources, the “smart”nitrogen from Nitro-30 SRN.

Time Savers & Other Helpful HintsWhether it is the agronomics or thedynamics of Growth Products liquids,you can provide your customer withresults while increasing your bottomline.• Find the ease of handling and mixing liquidproducts in any type of equipment• With Growth Products Arbor Care products, youhave a choice of varying N-P-K ratios and anyminor elements to meet your specific needs • Liquid products diffuse throughout the soilproviding uniform coverage• The use of true liquid solutions eliminates costlydown time and worn parts• Versatile, effective and safe applications by rootinjection, foliar and soil drench

A balanced fertilization program is one of the mostimportant cultural practices for improving the health andappearance of landscape, trees and ornamentals. Mostinsect problems, diseases and physical stress are thesymptoms of bigger problems beneath the soil. Manylandscape areas have poor soil that is unable to maintaingood, healthy growth. Such problems can be attributed pHimbalances, related macro or micronutrient deficiencies, loworganic matter, or may be the result of toxins in the soil. Thelist of potential problems is growing as we learn more aboutthe nutrient requirements of a healthy plant.

In the forest, and in other natural environments, the recyclingof nutrients occurs naturally when leaves and other organicmaterials decompose. Problems occur, however, onlandscapes where this natural cycle is disrupted. Most treesand shrubs on a landscaped property have to compete fornutrients with grasses and other ground covers. Without neworganic matter being introduced, the soil is soon depleted.With a balanced fertilizer program, one cannot only improvethe health and appearance of these plants, but also reducethe amount of damage caused by pests and physical stress.This will save time and money by reducing pesticide usage.It will also generate savings through a reduction of tree andshrub removal and replacement.

Getting Started:Fertilizing trees and shrubs is not nearly as involved as itsounds. You may already own most of the equipmentneeded. The following is a list of this equipment:

1) Clean sprayer unit, 100 gallons or greater.

2) For deep root injection, pump requirement 100-200 psifor good coverage.

3) ½” – ¾” spray or garden hose.

4) Fertilizing needles. There are several products availablethrough a variety of distributors.

With these three items, one operator, fertilizer, and water youcan run a very effective and preventative program.

Start application of fertilizer approximately

4 feet from tree trunk and extend the

same distance beyond the drip line.

A grid pattern should be laid out,

and injection holes should be spaced

every 4 feet to a depth of 4”-8”. The

valve should be held open long

enough to inject 1/2 gallon of

fertilizer solution at each point. The

goal is to apply 2 - 3 gallons of

fertilizer mix per inch of tree

diameter. The grid pattern should

exceed the dripline (canopy edge) by two

holes in every direction.

Injection Pattern

Design the Correct Fertilizer Program:Fertilizer blends you use are extremely crucial whendesigning a program. Many of the products offered in themarket contain high salts, insoluble materials and chlorine.Granular products can cause problems in pumps such asclogging or parts wearing out from abrasion, resulting inconsiderable downtime. With Growth Products liquidfertilizers, you will not have any of these concerns. Ourprogram is designed by looking at the entire soil picture. It isdesigned to fine tune the application of N-P-K, micronutrientsand natural organics.

Estimating Gallons Needed:Our recommendations are based upon applying 2 - 3gallons of mix per inch DBH (Diameter at Breast Height)Example: a 12 inch tree would require 35 - 49 gallons ofdiluted fertilizer.

Fertilizer, the Procedure:The proper method for sub surface fertilization of trees is byinjection of diluted fertilizer approximately 4 - 8 inches belowthe surface. Fertilization should begin 2 - 3 times the DBHfrom the base of the tree and extend the same distanceoutside the drip line of the tree canopy. Each injection shouldbe placed 2 - 3 feet apart in a grid pattern throughout theunder story of the tree (see diagram)

Calibration Method:Using a pre-measured container, time how long it takes to fill thecontainer using the feeding needle. This will give you a moreaccurate determination of how long to hold the valve open perhole to reach the desired amount of ½ gal of mix per hole. Thisdepends upon the flow rate valve output and psi.

Timing of Applications: A comprehensive tree and shrub fertilization program shouldinclude both early spring and early fall application program.It is recommended that a lower nitrogen, higher phosphorusand higher potassium analysis is used for a fall application.A 1:2:2 N-P-K ratio in the fall helps prepare the tree forwinter stress and improve root and carbohydrate reserves forthe winter. A spring application ratio of 1:1:1 for deciduousand 3:2:1 ratio for evergreens is ideal. Applications canbegin in the spring when the soil is thawed to permitfertilization. During heat and drought stress conditions, thelate spring – summer application of Essential Plus – a naturalorganic – can help strengthen the tree without any salt stress.

PALM PROGRAM


Transplant Fertilization: Drench both the root ball and soil where the palm will beplanted with a blend of Growth Products Palm Pro 12-4-12with 60% slow release nitrogen. Palms do not like heavymuck or clay soils and will very quickly become water logged.If it is not possible to supplement soil mixes of this consistencywith a sand/peat mix, be sure to add Essential® Plus alongwith Companion® Microbial Inoculant at the time oftransplant. This will help loosen the clay structure and allowmore drainage. For a granular supplement program add 8oz. Landscapers Companion® or Growers Companion® fortwo 15 gal. palms. Mix thoroughly into soil before planting.

Established Palms: The vast majority of palms planted in the US are non-nativespecies and are planted in sandy soils, which have anextremely low cation capacity and a tendency to leachnutrients quickly. Established palms must be fertilized aminimum of twice per year, and 4 fertilizations per year areideal. Growth Products’ 12-4-12 contains an ideal ratio ofnitrogen to potassium (crucial for healthy palms). And sincePalm Pro contains 60% slow release nitrogen, the palms willreceive an even, continuous feed of nitrogen.

Soil Injection: Begin root injection approximately two to four feet away fromthe trunk and out to the drip line of the tree. Check the flowrate by timing gallons per minute into a bucket. At 2 gallonsper minute, it will take 15 seconds to inject ½ gallon perinjection hole. Inject to a depth of 6 to 8 inches for trees.Inject at a rate of ½ gal of tank mix per injection site. Check“Palm Program” and “Low Water Palm Program” for dilutionrates.

Foliar Fertilization: Foliar fertilization with high quality liquids can be used as asupplemental program for normal soil fertilization. Whilefoliar applications will correct many nutrient deficiencies, soilfertilization will provide longer lasting results. Both Mg andMn chelate foliar sprays are also effective againstdeficiencies.

Nutrient disorders: N- Nitrogen deficiency is common in many areas of thecounty where non-native species are planted. Palm treesmanifest this deficiency with a light green color anddecreased vigor. - K - Potassium deficiency is morewidespread and most common in Florida palms. Symptoms- which appear as a translucent yellow or orange color in theleaflets -occur first on the oldest leaves and then in newerleaves. If not corrected, new growth will be affected and if leftuntreated, the palm will die. Potassium deficiencies arecommon in most palm species found in Florida. - Mg - Thesigns of a magnesium deficiency first occur in the palm’soldest leaves and then spreads up through the canopy with alight yellow band along the margin of the oldest leaves, whilethe center remains green. While Mg deficiencies affect mostspecies of palms, Date Palms are the most susceptible. - Mn- Manganese deficiencies affect most palms. If the deficiencyis severe, the palm will take on a “frizzled” look.

There are many needs to consider when fertilizing palm trees, since many of the species are not native palmsand are therefore, more apt to develop nutrient deficiencies and diseases. In general, native palms are moretolerant to stress. A good fertility program should incorporate a reliable slow release nitrogen source,manganese, magnesium and iron which are common nutritional disorders in palms. In addition, soils areoften lacking in organic matter and lack beneficial soil bacteria. In many urban situations, paved areas oftenmake it difficult to apply large volumes of water. In these instances, a low water volume palm program isrecommended. All of the products recommended by Growth Products for this type of application have beenformulated and tested to ensure low salt indices (i.e. plant materials will not be injured by chemical salts).The following program utilizes five times less water than a standard program. It is imperative to carefullyfollow all mixing instructions.

Application Rate:This program has been designed to correct high salts that are found in many soils referred to as salination. Storm damage,ice melt winter applications, over application of high salt fertilizers or pesticides and to mitigate the effects of herbicidedamage. Irrigation water especially effluent (reclaimed) water can be a constant source of salts or from salt laden watertable. Keep in mind that salts will build up in the soil over time unless neutralized or leached out and often become visibleon the surface of the soil. Excessive salts will cause degradation of the soil and the vegetation. This program will helpmanage salt accumulation. Be sure to use low salt fertilizers for maximum growth and recovery such Growth Products turfand tree care program.
