ALPINE Foliar
Foliar feeding is one of the most efficient methods of supplying nutrients during critical growing stages.
ALPINE staged foliar nutrition products can provide the nutritional requirements to the plants either alone or in combination with other ALPINE products to deliver the required balanced nutrition that is determined by soil and tissue tests. Foliar nutrition can make a good crop even better or it can supply a deficient, stressed crop the proper nutrients for a quick recovery.
ALPINE foliar is a high quality, clear liquid solution which providesgrowers with an excellent opportunity to increase productivity, profit and nutrient efficiency. Alpine foliar contains N-P-K but is best known as a source of plant available phosphate.
Plants require phosphate throughout the growing season and are capable of absorbing phosphate thru the leaves. Once absorbed by the leaves, the nutrient is metabolized and translocated to the newest growing region of the plant. The effective response to foliar nutrition is determined by the nutrient insufficiency and the absorption rate at the time of application. Utilizing soil and plant tissue analysis is key to obtaining positive results. In the past, foliar applications of phosphate were often overlooked because there was not a true solution fertilizer available in the marketplace.
ALPINE Foliar is a true solution that can be absorbed by the plant leaves. Application timing is usually done in conjunction with the application of crop protection products which result in application cost savings and efficient use of the grower’s time and resources.
APPLICATION RATE
ALPINE Foliar can be applied at 1-4 litres per acre in most field crops. ALPINE Foliar is best used as a supplement to a good nutrition program. Consult your ALPINE District Sales Manager for a specific rate according to crop condition and nutrition program.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
ALPINE Foliar can mix with many crop production products including glyphosate.
- In a small container prior to full scale mixing, proportionally mix all the components to confirm compatibility
- Thorough mixing of all blends is important
- Temperature and storage time can influence the degree of success
- Mix only the amount that will be immediately used
- Long-term storage is not suggested
ALPINE Foliar Tank Mixing Procedures
- Add ½ of total water to spray tank
- Start recirculation in the tank
- Add the recommended amount of ALPINE Enhanced CRN-B
- Add micronutrients and/or any other flowable material
- Add any soluble powder, first pre-mixing with water
- Add remaining water volume and continue recirculation prior to spraying.
