|---|---|---|
| Pre-Plant | GOAL | REASON |
|
32 oz RECLAIM per acre ground application. May be applied at same time as herbicide. |
Soil stimulation, air and water management, disease prevention | RECLAIM opens the soil for proper air and water management. This softening allows the products enzyme mix to thoroughly stimulate the biological elements breaking down unavailable nutrients to their available form.RECLAIM on alkali (sodium) soil adds the benefit of preventing cell damage. Sodium is reduced, making potash conversion easy and available. Phosphates are unlocked in spring and potassium in the fall through microbial stimulation.
Critical to pepper survival is sufficient available potassium. With sodium present, the plant ingests it instead. Sodium erupts the cell wall inviting insects and disease. NOTE: RECLAIM activates and extends the life of herbicides improving their efficiency. Soil test may indicate a higher rate of RECLAIM is necessary in very alkali soil. |
| Planting | GOAL | REASON |
| 4 oz RENEW Apply banded over row or knifed in. | Rapid germination, stimulated root growth, disease prevention. | The pre-plant treatment allows the RENEW, our strongest soil activator, to penetrate quickly and stimulate the microbial activity around the forming plant. Proper stimulation aids in disease prevention and helps reduce various forms of root rot. This microbial activity breaks down the N-P-K into an easily digestible form, greatly increasing root growth and uptake of minerals.This treatment gives the seedling a quick strong start to withstand any adverse environmental conditions. |
| Pre-Bloom | GOAL | REASON |
| 8-12 oz BLOOM SET (A bloom setting agent)Spray application, may be combined in single application with insecticide or fungicide. | Direct plant stimulation to load up flowers, flush plant and increase yield potentials. | This plant stimulant keeps the plant stockier and stronger to hold the most weight in preparation for fruit. Stimulates soil to make available nutrients for reproductive cycle. |
| Mid-Bloom | GOAL | REASON |
| 8–12 oz. BLOOM SETSpray application, may be combined in single application with insecticide or fungicide. | Stimulate reproduction by increasing reproductive nutrient uptake. | Poor nutrient balance at this time will cause yield loss. This application is for retaining any new blooms and developing young fruit.
(In high sodium soil and without RECLAIM, at this stage the plant would pull up large doses of sodium instead of potassium.) |
| Peak Bloom | GOAL | REASON |
| 8–12 oz. BLOOM SETSpray application, may be combined in single application with insecticide or fungicide. | Direct plant stimulation to encourage reproductive efforts and full nutrient uptake for maximum yield. | Building thicker cell walls in the fruit makes for more tonnage at harvest. A fully loaded plant will still shed if enough reproductive elements are not available to make all blooms mature. This application is an additional stress reducer to help retain both early and late blooms. |
| Herbicide Spray Program | ||
| Apply 16 fl oz phLAME 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 pepper spray program. AgPro™ specialty surfactants (SS 9,SPREADER STICKER, phLAME) 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. |

| What Growers Say
“My plants were so healthy that when hail damage destroyed all the fields around me they collected insurance. Mine survived and produced more than they collected. I have had excellent yields using AgPro™.” |
