Directions

• Verify product analysis, longevity and rate for plants in your production system
• Consult rate tables printed on bag labels and product sheets
• For incorporation, blend into growing media to ensure uniform distribution of cores
• Do not over-mix (doing so could damage fertilizer coating)
• Growing media should be used within two to four weeks after incorporating fertilizer
• For top-dress applications, spread fertilizer evenly on container surface (avoid piling fertilizer directly against plant stem)
• Irrigate after application (irrigation frequency and volume should be adjusted during the crop production cycle according to crop type, environmental conditions and desired soluble salt levels)
• A product trial is recommended before adopting a new fertilizer program or making full-scale changes to standard cultural practices (test several rates on representative plant types)
• Use caution when applying to plants being over-wintered under cover (if you can't monitor soluble salts and/or adjust irrigation practices, avoid Fall and Winter applications)
• Store in a clean, cool, dry place
