Summary
Elixir Gardens Bumper Crop | High Phosphorus Fertiliser | Root and Early Season | 700g 20kg
Uses
Use to encourage vigorous root growth and good plant establishment. Suitable for most crops in most situations and typically used early in the season when plants are young.
Liquid Feed
The standard rate is 1g / litre of water. However this can vary anywhere between 0.5g / litre 2g / litre. Use the lower rates for sensitive plants, such as pot plants under glass. The higher rates should be used on rapidly growing plants in outdoor soils.
DO NOT exceed 2g / litre.
Liquid Feed Application
Used in the same way as other water-soluble fertilisers. Feed is usually applied via a normal watering can. Simply add the appropriate amount of Feed to the can, add water and apply liberally to the plant root area. A very approximate guide is 5litres / square metre.
Feed is best applied as a liquid feed whilst the plant is actively growing. Ideally alongside watering.
Foliar Spray:
Plants are designed to take up nutrients through their roots, but most nutrients can be absorbed through the leaves. Foliar feeding can give crops a valuable boost. Particularly if the root system is not functioning well due to drought, disease or pest attack and other stress factors.
Rate of Use:
Prepare a 0.05 0.1% (0.5 1.0 g / litre) solution and apply to coat the leaves and stems with a thin film of moisture, with little or no run-off.
DO NOT exceed 1g per litre concentration.
Application
Feed can be applied to plants foliage via a hand or knapsack sprayer or similar equipment.
If you are in an area with acute hard water, Soluble NPK fertilisers can dry on the leaves and leave unsightly residues.
