Growing with AGGRAND

Berries

Peak foliar responses can be obtained on perennial crops such as raspberries by applying AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer after the leaves open, after bloom and during the period from fruit fill-up to three weeks before final harvest.

Root Applications:

Per-acre mix ratio:

2 gallons AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer and gallons of water. Apply once a month during growing season. Optimize results by adding 1 quart AGGRAND Kelp and Sulfate of Potash to the mix.

Foliar Applications

Per-acre mix ratio:

1 gallon AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer and 50 gallons of water. Apply as a fine mist after leaves open and again after first bloom.

2 quarts AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash and 50 gallons of water. Apply during fruit formation up to three weeks before final harvest.

Rates vary according to soil fertility and other inputs used. Higher dilution rates are more effective than lower dilution rates. Two or three lighter applications may be more effective than one heavy application. If other constraints only allow one trip over the field, do not exceed a 3 percent dilution rate (3 gallons of AGGRAND fertilizers to 97 Gallons of water).

To reduce susceptibility to attack of insect and disease-causing organisms, apply a per-acre mixture of 1 gallon AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer and 50 gallons of water when signs of infestation become apparent. Substitute 1 quart AGGRAND Kelp and Sulfate of Potash for the Natural Fertilizer late in the season when the additional nitrogen and phosphorus are not needed.

Soil Applications

Per-acre mix ratio:

2 gallons AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer and 50 gallons of water. Apply in spring or fall. Apply in spring and fall if soil is hard and low in organic matter. Optimize results by adding 2 gallons AGGRAND Liquid Bonemeal, 1 quart AGGRAND Kelp and Sulfate of Potash and 25 gallons of water to the mix.
