| Ground Application |
GOAL |
REASON |
|
Water management and nutrient uptake
|
These water management tools aid in air and water exchange critical to stimulating microorganisms in preparation for planting. They also contain formulated enzyme complexes that stimulate rapid microbiological activity which is critical to soil agrigation and air and water management. Increased microbial life will enhance nutrient release to the plant. RECLAIM will reduce chemical carryover problems.
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
|
Mid Season Foliar Spray |
GOAL |
REASON |
Apply 16 oz. MICROPLUS per acre, sprayed on leaves and vines.
Tank mix with mid season chemicals and nutrient sprays.
|
Increase grape sugar content and quality
|
At this stage grape plants are very active in development. Nutrient intake is critical to prepare for grape harvest.
MICROPLUS is a versatile product used in many ways. By applying it throughout the season, it increases plant vigor and health and increase sugar quality and content. It's compatibility and versatile timing makes it an easy addition to other tank mixes already being applied.
|
Fruit Set |
GOAL |
REASON |
Apply 32 oz. MICROPLUS
per acre
|
To set and hold grapes
|
The plants need the beneficial nutrients and trace minerals in MICROPLUS to set and hold grapes. It also enhances the plants ability to withstand cooler temperatures and aids healing from weather factors.
MICROPLUS increases carbohydrates of plants to aid in setting and holding fruit.
|
Fungicide or Insecticide |
GOAL |
REASON |
8 oz. SPREADER STICKER per 100 gallons tank mix
or
16 oz. SS 9 per 100 gallon tank mix
|
Enhance herbicides
Enhance fungicides for mold and mildew
|
SPREADER STICKER helps make the herbicides act in a systemic way for longer retention and kill effects.
SS 9 works well with fungicides. Most farmers extend spray program 2-4 days beyond normal rotation, eliminating two or three sprayings per season.
NOTE: We suggest using lowest recommended label rate of the fungicide, insecticides and herbicides.
|
Post Harvest Vine Recovery |
GOAL |
REASON |
32 oz. FOLIARPLEX per acre sprayed on leaves
|
Revitalize plants for the next year
|
Plants need renewal of elements used in reproduction to recover and store for the next season's harvest.
|
| 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.
|
Note about Spraying:
We strongly recommend using an adjuvant with your grape spray program. AgPro™ specialty surfactants (SS 9, SPREADER STICKER, FLAME) 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. |
