Growthful™ Pre-Emerge
Pre-Emerge Max
An acidic liquid additive used for soil preconditioning
Used to improve the permeability of soil increasing effectiveness of NPK inputs
An acidic liquid additive that will lower soil pH and solubilize iron, calcium, and potassium in the soil; therefore, increasing the availability of these nutrients to the plant
It is an additive to the normal nutrient regime, but should NOT be used as a replacement for nutrients (its NPK [Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K)] values are 0-0-0)
Pre-Emerge
Clear liquid additive
Solubilizes iron, calcium, and potassium in the soil increasing the availability of these nutrients to the plants
An additive to the normal nutrient regime
Helps balance pH
Compatible with tested fertilizers, fungicides, and herbicides*
Can be applied concurrently with most other agriculture inputs
NOT a replacement for nutrients NPK: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K)
* Verify its compatibility with the support team
Applications
Dilute and apply prior to the emergence of the plant
Burndown application: 2 gal in 10 gal of water and apply to soil prior to sprouting of plant
Target is 2 gal Pre-Emerge/acre
In Furrow application: Applied at time of seeding in the “Furrow”
Center Pivot: Applied at time of seeding in the “Furrow”
Dilution rate varies based on the soil type and commodity
Growthful™ Post-Emerge
Post-Emerge Spray
Liquid additive
Solubilizes iron, calcium, and potassium in the soil increasing the availability of these nutrients to the plants
Improves the availability of nutrients through foliar application of other products
It is an additive that will assist with the normal nutrient regime
Post-Emerge
Broadcast applications:
Dilute 12.8 oz in 10 gal and apply broadcast to soil or over crops after emergence and before row cover
Apply 12.8 oz. product per acre
Drip line/direct soil applications:
Apply 12.8 oz to 5 gal per acre during irrigation
Make 2-6 applications per growing season
Hydroponic applications for seed growth, vegetative stage and flower stage
Growthful™ Testimonial
“We have been using Growthful for the last few seasons on our Jersey Royal seed crops on the Island of Jersey in the Channel Islands. We have noticed a definite increase in crop growth, health, and quality by using Growthful. The increased yield in final tuber tonnage has ranged from 6% to 20%. This product has the potential to have a huge economic benefit to our potato production and we look forward to continuing our work with the Aqueus team.”
