This spring and every planting season to come, you may rest assured for top profit and quality when you use the Insta-Gro Gold plant food complete program.
Starter Program
For getting the crop off to a fast start, place 3 to 8 gallons with the seed. When you plant early and the soil is cold, roots on the crop do not grow as they should. Also the nutrients do not break down fast enough to supply the plant proper amounts of elements for fast growth. Insta-Gro plant food is ready for the plants needs which means bigger, healthier root systems, faster emergence and a better stand.

Note:
The above examples may vary on soil test and past history of crops. On hilly
fields or where deep
placement is impossible, up to 10 gallons can be placed
in row. Three gallons of Insta-Cal and 3 gallons of Insta-Sul should be
applied with herbicide program. Prior to emergence, an addition of calcium
and sulfur might be needed depending on soil test. Nitrogen and trace elements
should be put on in the amount recommended by the soil test.
Foliar Feeding Program
Three gallons of 9-18-9 - 22 to 28 days after rowing to increase ear set and number of rows per ear. Average yield is 10% to 15%.
Three to Eight gallons of 9-18-9 - 7-14 days before tassel to fill the ear to the end. Average yield increase is 10% to 15% depending on gallons used, plus earlier maturity and better quality.
