BIOLOGICAL NPK NITROGEN - GROWTH STAGE 10-8-8; 16-4-6; 20-4-4 Young plants need growth right up until maturity
which is usually just before blooming or bud initiation stage.
The plants at this stage need a higher NITROGEN NPK. The
Nitrogen element is needed for growth, along with a
proportionate combination of PHOSPHORUS and POTASSIUM. By
supplying the plant with extra nitrogen via foliar sprays you
are helping the plant perform to its optimum, by
supplying that extra nitrogen. This can mean quicker
blooming and healthier plants.
CATIONIC In this stage of the
plants life from flowering to harvest, the plant is in the
production mode and no longer actively growing. Higher
PHOSPHORUS & POTASH is needed in this
stage.
(P)PHOSPHORUS PRODUCTION
STAGE
6-14-6; 5-30-10; 0-31-23; 0-35-0
Once your
plants have started to produce buds or blooms you have a plant
that is matured and is ready for the production of your
crop. This is where we change from a higher
nitrogen to a higher PHOSPHATE product. The Idea being
is not to allow your fruit coming from the blossoms to grow or
mature to fast with a high nitrogen. You want to be more
concerned at this stage to form a fruit that contains higher
pound solids and more body. The Phosphate ion supplies
the cells that are being formed at this stage to fill in with
body, giving more weight and mineral value. To much
Nitrogen at this stage will just make the cells grow and not
form the body or mineral content, making the produce sour and
shortens the shelf life. The right concentration of
Nitrogen PHOSPHORUS and potash is need to give a complete
balance in this stage.
(K)POTASH
3-18-18
Once your
plants have produced fruit and that fruit has formed and
begins to grow or mature. High POTASH with a high
PHOSPHORUS is needed with just the right combination of
nitrogen to allow a good balance. This will help build
quality in your crop.
Once you place all these
sprays together in a component program you can, with the right
environmental conditions provide the best growing conditions
for your crop from planting to harvest. The end results
of healthier plants is more markets, better health, better
taste, better color, longer shelf life, earlier markets and in
many cases more yield. This all means more profits to
the farmer.
