Low rates should be used when:
- 75% or more of nutrient need met by water soluble fertilizers
- Climate is cool requiring low irrigation application rates
- Soil tests reveal high salts or residual nutrients from prior crops
- Water quality is poor and might result in injurious salt levels
- Labor availability to manually fertigate is not a limiting facto
- Managers are adept at interpreting crop nutrient needs daily
Medium rates should be used when:
- About half of nutrient needs met by Agriform® and about half met by water soluble fertilizer
High rates should be used when:
- 75% or more of nutrient need met by Agriform®
- Climate conditions demand high irrigation rates and leaching below the root zone is possible
- Irrigation water source is good quality with low salt content
- Crop is going to last as long as the fertilizer longevity claim, or possibly longer
These rates are meant as a guideline and take into consideration the historical use rates for the various products. For assistance in developing a fertilizer program for your specific site(s), consult with your ICL Growing Solutions Sales Agronomist.
