Consult rate tables printed on bag labels and product sheets3
For Fusion top-dress applications, pile fertilizer in a comma shape away from the plant stem. Spreading it out over the surface will result in less adhesion.4
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)5
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)6
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 applications7
