A Unique Fertilizer Product with Substaintial Benefits.

Key Benefits:

• Blend of exceptionally pure, food-grade ingredients which allows for rapid and almost total absorption ~ up to 94%.
• Foliar fertilizers are many times more efficient than fertilizers applied to/in the soil since they are subject to leaching, volatilization and unfavorable soil conditions making the fertilizer un-useable by the plant.
• Originally developed for the hydroponic industry, foliar fertilizers have no negative environmental consequences.
• Foliars can be used on all plants including trees, shrubs, turf, flowers, vegetables, houseplants and all agricultural crops – even tropical crops like bananas and rice.
• Various formulations can be used with crops to encourage and support certain physiological process like flowering, setting fruit or increasing yields.
• Application is by spraying a fine mist on the foliage which can be done very efficiently as compared to other fertilization methods such as injecting dozens, even 100’s of sites around trees.
• Foliar fertilizers are typically more expensive but are used in such small quantities [typically 1-5 gallons per acre] that the actual cost can be significantly less than traditional fertilizer products and methods.
• Making applications to the foliage rather than the soil by-passes many of the issues that poor soil causes as it relates to nutrient availability and over-all plant nutrition.
• Some of these formulations have been approved as animal food supplements as well as for use in organic crop production. [Regulation 205.601]

Application Considerations:

• Optimal absorption takes place when the stoma are open, during cooler segments of the day, preferably when the leaves and air are moist, or when overcast.
  
  
• Application rates can vary significantly depending on plant type and growing habit. Call your Green Pro Representative for specific recommendations.
  

Summary:

In addition to the ease of application and over-all cost benefits, foliar applications have a critical use in a PHC program as a method to ‘buy time’ for the arborist or PHC professional. For the same reasons that medical personnel usually administer fluids as the first treatment in an emergency, foliar applications can provide that ‘first step’ while the PHC professional fully assess the situation with the use of soil or tissue testing or other diagnostic protocols. Depending on the test results and diagnostic outcomes, foliars can play a vital role in the short-term treatment plan while soil items like pH, soil biology, compaction and organic content are addressed to assure the long-term health and vitality of all landscape materials. The various stages of agricultural crops, garden vegetables and fruit trees, and even flowers can be enhanced by applying select formulations at specific times during the growth cycles resulting in more and/or nutritious food or beautiful flowers. Nature’s Pro Foliar Formulations include: 3-18-18; 7-21-7; 9-18-9; 10-10-10 and 18-3-3.
