PRECAUTION: It is best to apply NuCrop in the early morning or late evening to maximize uptake and efficiency and to avoid crop injury. As with the use of any agrichemical, crop injury is always possible. Crop stress can be brought on by various environmental and/or agronomic factors, especially those associated with dry conditions and high temperatures. Do not apply NuCrop to drought stressed crops. The user is responsible for all risks associated with use and handling. Normal vegetative and/or reproductive growth is not expected to be adversely affected in most situations when this product is used according to label directions. Foliar fertilization is intended as a supplement to a regular fertilization program and may not, by itself, provide all the nutrients normally required by crops or other intended plants. Avoid strong acids or contact with aluminum, mild steel and brass. Jar tests should be performed to confirm compatibility before mixing with other components.
RECOMMENDED RATES
Rates and timing of applications are dependent on local conditions, and should always be made as a result of soil or plant tissue analysis. When used as directed, NuCrop will rarely supply all the nutrients required by plants. Best results are achieved when NuCrop is used to supplement a fertility program based on soil tests. Please consult your local Grasshopper Fertilizer Representative, Certified Crop Advisor or Extension Agent for use guidelines. Ground or aerial systems may be utilized to deliver NuCrop. Use sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage. Product may be applied either diluted or undiluted. Unless otherwise listed below, a general rate for most other crops would be 4 – 6 qts/per acre when sufficient foliage is present. Higher rates may be applied if done so first on a small test area to determine acceptability.
