GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Nutri-Grow® PK is a concentrated foliar nutrient solution containing, in highly soluble form, certain elements beneficial to plant growth, rooting, root development, flowering, transplant establishment and, with sufficient nitrogen, may improve color development when applied as a properly timed foliar or soil spray. Application to turf may improve resistance to traffic if potassium is not adequately supplied by the soil medium. Nutri-Grow® PK is intended to be used as a supplemental foliar and/or soil treatment. Nutri-Grow® PK may be applied through all types of ground spraying equipment. Note: With foliar application, phosphite ions are taken up directly by the plant foliage and may undergo a degree of conversion to phosphate ions, or be utilized directly by the plant as phosphite ions.
Foliar Nutritional Applications - Apply 1 to 4 pints per acre. DO NOT EXCEED a maximum product concentration of 0.1% volume/volume (v/v) for GREENHOUSE or PROTECTED AREA conditions. Note: A 0.1% v/v solution is approximately 0.30 fl. oz. of Nutri-Grow® PK per 2.5 gallons of water. (See APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS Section)
DO NOT EXCEED a maximum product concentration of 0.3% volume/volume (v/v) for OUTDOOR or FIELD GROWING conditions. Note: A 0.3% v/v solution is approximately 1 fl. oz. of Nutri-Grow® PK per 2.5 gallons of water. (See APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS Section)
Soil Nutritional Applications - For infrequent applications, DO NOT EXCEED a maximum product concentration of 0.5% volume/volume (v/v). Note: A 0.5% v/v solution is approximately 1.5 fl. oz. of Nutri-Grow® PK per 2.5 gallons of water. (See APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS Section)
For continuous feed application (fertigation), DO NOT EXCEED a maximum product concentration of 0.05% volume/volume (v/v). Note: A 0.05% v/v solution is approximately 0.15 fl. oz. of Nutri-Grow® PK per 2.5 gallons of water. (See APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS Section)
Turf or Tree Farm Nutritional Applications – DO NOT EXCEED a maximum product concentration of 2.0% volume/volume (v/v). Note: A 2.0% v/v solution is approximately 6.5 fl. oz. of Nutri-Grow® PK per 2.5 gallons of water. (See APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS Section)
Compatibility – Nutri-Grow® PK is compatible with most commonly used foliar fungicides, insecticides and chemically neutral fertilizers and microelements. However, the USER ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY to ensure compatibility when tank mixing with other products. AVOID MIXING with oxidizing chemicals such as chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and other sterilants. It is not recommended to use this product with other surfactants or adjuvants. (See APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS Section)
SUGGESTED USES

Note: Applications should be discontinued during dormancy. The first seasonal application should be applied at bud emergence. The last application should be applied just prior to the onset of senescence. For foliar applications, DO NOT EXCEED a product spray concentration of 0.1% to 0.3% v/v depending upon the growing location and/or environment of the plants (See Foliar Nutritional Application Section). When using a 0.3% solution of Nutri-Grow® PK, use a maximum of 4 gallons of spray solution per 1,000 sqft.
TREES AND TREE FARMS (e.g. Christmas Trees; Park Plantings)
NEW PLANTINGS AND RESETS – Once the trees are set in the ground, apply up to 2 gallons of a 0.5% v/v solution to the root zone of each tree. Make additional foliar applications of 2 pints per acre at two week spray intervals during the growing season. Make a minimum of two foliar applications per season. Nutri-Grow® PK may be applied as a tank mix partner with foliar fungicide and/or insecticide applications.
MAINTENANCE - Make foliar applications of 2 pints per acre at two week spray intervals during the growing season. Make a minimum of two foliar applications per season. Nutri-Grow® PK may be applied as a tank mix partner with foliar fungicide and/or insecticide applications.
Note: Apply when plants are actively growing. DO NOT EXCEED a maximum product spray
concentration of 2.0% v/v. (See Turf or Tree Farm Nutritional Section).
ALL FLOWERING, BEDDING AND NON-WOODY ORNAMENTALS

IRRIGATION SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
Applications of Nutri-Grow® PK through irrigation systems can be substituted for foliar applications described above and can be applied through sprinkler (e.g. solid set, hand move, walking, wheel roll) or low volume (e.g. micro sprinkler, tape, drip, fanjet) irrigation systems. The specific injection equipment and irrigation system must conform to all federal, state and local regulations pertaining to the fertilization of plants through an irrigation system and should be calibrated accurately prior to any application. The irrigation system should be operated to achieve maximum distribution uniformity to avoid plant injury and/or ineffectiveness. For best results, apply Nutri-Grow® PK toward the end of the irrigation cycle allowing sufficient time for the product to be flushed out of the entire irrigation system before turning off the irrigation water.
APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS
Due to the continuous development of new varieties of each of the many different ornamental plants, it is recommended that prior to the first use on a particular ornamental variety, the grower evaluate plant response(s) by treating a small sample of plants (6 to 10) with the product at the recommended dose(s). Allow sufficient time after application of the product to determine if there is going to be any undesirable plant response(s), including but not limited to stunting and/or leaf burn.
APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS: AS WITH ALL ACID MATERIALS, USER SHOULD EXERCISE PRECAUTION TO AVOID POTENTIAL FOLIAR BURNING. PRECAUTION IS ADVISED IF APPLYING THIS PRODUCT IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER MATERIALS SINCE MIXING COULD RESULT IN A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS OR UNDESIRABLE REACTION CAUSED BY PRODUCT INCOMPATIBILITIES. A COMPATIBILITY TEST IS RECOMMENDED BEFORE TANK MIXING WITH OTHER PRODUCTS. AS A PRECAUTION, THE pH OF ANY FINAL SPRAY SOLUTION SHOULD BE CHECKED AND AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF THE SOLUTION BE APPLIED TO A SMALL AREA OF THE INTENDED CROP TO ENSURE PLANT COMPATIBILITY
PRIOR TO THE PLANNED APPLICATION. USER ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE PRODUCT, EQUIPMENT AND PLANT COMPATIBILITIES.
