Rates (lb./acre) by product formula

Product Formula	Low	Medium	High
Agriform® 18-6-12	500-700	700-900	900-1200

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.
