WHAT IS FertiBoost™ AND WHAT DOES IT DO?

FertiBOOST is a complex of humic acids, organic acids ,surfactants, proprietary formulated minerals, vitamins, plant growth factors, hormones and enzymes.  FertiBOOST can be used as a soil improver and as a foliar spray. 

FertiBoost as a soil improver:

When FertiBOOST is used as a soil improver, it stimulates microbial growth in the soil, provides plant growth factors, increases root volume, and makes the transfer of nutrients and water from the soil to the plant more efficient. Because Boost greatly stimulates microbial activity, slow release organic fertilizers like compost, fish meal, blood meal, and decaying cover crops can release nitrogen and other nutrients the plant more rapidly and in forms that are more available for root absorbsion. Speeding nutrient availability helps solve a significant problem for organic growers, as many times this type of fertilizer takes too long to become available to the plant. In addition, because FertiBOOST makes the fertilizer applied more efficient, it helps growers cut costs and increases yields significantly.

Product use rates and timing:

In seeded crops, FertiBOOST’s surfactants, organic acids, and humic acids help speed germination and early root growth, so an application of 1 gallon per acre of Boost at first irrigation advised.  Transplants also benefit by an application of 1 gallon Boost per acre at first watering as it will help ease “transplant shock” and promote early root growth.

About ½ way through the growing cycle of the plant, apply another 1 gallon per acre in the irrigation water.  If working with a flowering crop, make this application just before bloom.   

fertiBoost as a foliar spray:

FertiBOOST can also be used as a foliar spray. When diluted at leasttwenty to one in water, it directly provides nutrients, hormones,vitamins, plant growth factors, and enzymes.  FertiBOOST penetrates leaf surfaces providing minerals to the plant through the leaf, reduces surface tension of the leaf, and increases the absorption of any foliar nutrients applied as part of the spray application.

Product use rates and timing:

Apply 1 gallon of FertiBOOST per acre in at least 20 gallons of water when the air temperature is less than 90 degrees.  Apply at least 2 times in the growing cycle.  The first application should be about 30 days into the crop cycle and the second application 30 days later.  For long cycle crops a third application may be made 30 days after the second application.
