Plug Mix 13-2-13

This is a popular two-part formula designed specifically for use in of all major plug-grown crops. A complete N-P-K plant food, 13-2-13 is formulated to deliver a high calcium and magnesium, high nitrate solution with balanced micronutrients to seedlings. Calcium is needed for young growing tips and formation of strong cell walls. This formula has a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium and will deliver a therapeutic amount of magnesium at every watering. Magnesium is needed by seedlings to promote chlorophyll production to yield rich, deep green healthy young transplants.

Where low pH is a problem, this product has a high potential basicity and is ideal for gradually adjusting pH upward during routine feeding. If using hard water, we recommend an acid pre-treatment for the water source.

Also, 13-2-13 Plug Mix has a over 98 % of its total nitrogen in the nitrate form. Extensive research with plug culture points conclusively to use of high nitrate plant foods on most seedlings. High ammonium nitrogen in early stages of growth often induces distorted leaf growth and yellowing.

This formula is an excellent choice for production of compact, toned plug seedlings ready to transplant to packs.

Maximum solubility of this product in hot water is 3 to 3-1/2 lbs. per gallon.

High Calcium Special 15-0-15

This formulation has been designed as a substitute for calcium nitrate-potassium nitrate mixtures commonly used for feeding during cool, overcast periods between November and February. It contains 93.3% of its total nitrogen as the nitrate form, thus nitrogen conversion problems associated with the use high-urea plant foods during cool, cloudy periods are eliminated. It is an excellent food for plants sensitive to ammonium toxicity problems.

TotalGro 15-0-15 not only contains calcium and potassium nitrates, but also the same blend of micronutrients found in our other formulations. It has a neutralizing effect on acidic media. It can be used where the media pH is acidic and further reductions in pH are undesirable, or where a soil test indicates a need for high nitrates or readily-available calcium. Since this formulation contains no phosphates, it is recommended that it be used either intermittently with a phosphorus-containing plant food, or used on media containing superphosphate or triple superphosphate as a pre-mix. When using as a dark weather feed, use only during periods of low light and cool temperatures, then revert to your normal feeding program when conditions are more favorable.

Pansy Special 15-2-20

Pansies are becoming a major winter greenhouse crop. An ideal pansy food maintains a desirable rich green foliage color, yet does not promote stretching and weak growth. This unique 2-part formula contains high levels of calcium needed for robust, stocky stem growth and strong roots. It also contains magnesium needed to promote chlorophyll production and deep green leaves. The calcium-tomagnesium ratio is an optimum 2:1. Our 15-2-20 formula is designed to deliver these ideal characteristics and more. The N-P-K ratio promotes blooming while maintaining strong, robust growth. The relatively low phosphorus is designed to produce compact plants and minimize the common problem of stretching. While pansies need some ammonium nitrogen, an excess is known to cause leaf crinkling, bloom distortion and leaf yellowing. The nitrate-to-ammonium ratio of this product is over 6:1 and the nitrate comprises over 87% of the total nitrogen. The high calcium formula helps buffer against drastic pH shifts. It typically yields a solution with a pH of about 6.0, ideal for growing pansies and other crops. The 15-2-20 Pansy Mix also delivers a perfect balance of micronutrients. The extra boron of this plant food formula promotes strong and vigorous growth. The formula can also be used as a finisher for other blooming crops such as lilies, mums and geraniums.

Mix contents of each enclosed 12.5 lb. bag at a 1:1 ratio to achieve proper nutrient levels.

Vegetable Soil-Less Mix Special 15-10-30

TotalGro's 15-10-30 Vegetable Soil-Less Mix Special is specifically formulated for greenhouse culture of tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, and similar crops grown in media such as peatlite, barkpeat, composted sawdust, composted rice hulls,rock wool and similar materials. It is not recommended for use in strictly hydroponic applications such as NFT, or sand or gravel culture.

15-10-30 is a stand-alone plant food when used with media containing amendments of 3-10 pounds dolomitic lime per cubic yard plus gypsum at a rate of 2-5 lbs per cubic yard. Supplemental magnesium may be simultaneously injected with the 15-10-30 by inclusion of Epsom Salt in the stock tank.

Where no lime or gypsum is added to the soil, this formula is typically injected simultaneously with Epsom Salt in one stock tank and calcium nitrate in the other through a dual-head injector system, or the components are mixed as a working solution in a batch tank.

This plant food is ideally suited for crop production in beds, rigid containers, horizontal grow-bags or upright 3-5 gallon poly bags filled with the medium of choice. If the crop being grown has a relatively lower requirement for boron than tomatoes or cucumbers, use 15-11-29.

Maximum solubility of this product in hot water is 2 1/2 to 3 lbs. per gallon.

Poinsettia Finisher 15-11-29

This high-potash finisher compliments our 22-8-20 Poinsettia Special designed for early to mid-season feeding of actively-growing poinsettias.

Use the 15-11-29 Finisher from Late October or early November, through to Christmas season for finishing blooming poinsettias. Once blooming initiates, vegetative growth all but ceases. It is undesirable to continue feeding at high N rates due to potential for nitrate salt to burn leaves and bracts during this period. The 1:2 N-to K2O ratio allows the grower to maintain all other nutrients at pre-bloom levels, while significantly lowering N levels. This has the effect of slowing vegetative growth (stretching), while producing a sturdy, firm finished plant with uniform bract size and color.

The high nitrate content of 15-11-29 Poinsettia Finisher makes it an excellent fertilizer in the cool, overcast periods of late October through the Christmas season.

We have included a higher level of molybdenum in this plant food than in our other formulations to minimize the possibility of molybdenum deficiency during the final production phase. In addition, this product has a high magnesium content (6 ppm at the 300 ppm N concentration) to help prevent magnesium chlorosis that often occurs during the critical final weeks before the Christmas season. If your source water magnesium content is less than 20 ppm, we suggest using 14-0-14 Cal-Mag or an Epsom Salt supplement.

Geranium Special 15-15-15

The 15-15-15 Geranium Special is a popular 1-1-1 ratio plant food for use during vegetative production of geraniums, including zonals, regals, ivies and scented cultivars. This is a neutral reaction fertilizer with roughly 50% of the total nitrogen as nitrate N and the balance as ammoniacal and urea N. Because it possesses a very low potential acidity, it is of utility in any growing application where a balanced 1-1-1 formula is required without the acidifying affects associated with other 1-1-1 formulas such as 20-20-20.

As this formula contains nitrate of soda, in cases where sodium is inherently high in the source water (>50-100 ppm Na), we recommend consideration of our 19-19-19 formula which is sodium-free and possesses precisely 50% nitrate nitrogen and 50% ammoniacal nitrogen in its makeup.

The 15-15-15, while commonly used in geranium production, is also suitable for production of Easter lilies, Asiatic lilies, hydrangeas and other floristquality potted crops.

Acid Special 20-6-20

The 20-6-20 Acid Mix is an ideal alternative to 20-10-20 for growers using alkaline irrigation water. High alkalinity waters, combined with high hardness (high calcium and/or magnesium), may cause media to increase in pH over time. Micronutrient deficiencies of iron, manganese and zinc are common where media pH increases above 6.5. This product contains ammonium sulfate, an effective acidifying nutrient amendment for controlling alkalinization of growing media. Unlike formulas containing urea phosphate that has inherent initial acidity, our product has high potential acidity that controls pH after fertilization. Use the formula as you would the 20-10-20 General Purpose blend. The nitrate-to-ammonium ratio is identical to its 20- 10-20 counterpart, thus it is perfect for use as a winter feed. Recommended for all phases of bedding plant production, and for production of most potted flowering plants such as poinsettia, chrysanthemums, geraniums, gloxinia, gerbera, and others requiring a high nitrate feed. Use as a primary feed for plugs where 20-10-20 is recommended and acidification is needed to counteract hard, alkaline water effects.

Maximum solubility of this product in hot water is 4 lbs. per gallon.

All Purpose 20-20-20

This is an ideal general purpose plant food formulation designed for routine fertilization for a wide variety of greenhouse crops, turf, ornamental trees, shrubs and fruit trees.

20-20-20 All Purpose can be used where the fertility state of the soil is not known, or where nutrients are at a medium (optimum) level where no special fertility correction is necessary.

Because of its acid-forming potential, it is useful to correct high pH and build-up of alkalinity in media and soils. The balanced nitrogen forms in this product promote the optimum production of crops including tropical foliage plants and container-grown azaleas, camellias, gardenias and other ornamental shrubs. This formulation can be foliar-applied to provide quick green-up.

Maximum solubility of this product in hot water is 3 1/2 lbs./gallon.

It is recommended that our higher nitrate general purpose formula 20-10-20 be used in low light conditions or cool weather periods to avoid ammonium conversion problems. We do not recommend the use of this formula on poinsettias, gloxinias, easter lily, mums, geraniums and other flower crops that specifically require a higher nitrate ratio. The 20-10-20 and other specialty fertilizers are superior in these instances.

Azalea - Acid 21-7-7

This formula contains ammonium sulfate and thus has a very high acid potential favorable for routine fertilization of azaleas, rhododendrons, heathers and other acid-loving crops. Its best application is where the source water shows a high bicarbonate alkalinity, and where repeated use of such water tends to cause undesirable increases in media pH over time. This formula is chloride-free, unlike 21-7-7 acid formulas manufactured by others.

This formula is useful as a temporary feed for lowering the pH of plantings having an excessive soil pH. This formula is not recommended for continuous application to soils with a pre-existing optimum or below optimum pH.

Maximum solubility of this product in hot water is 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 lbs per gallon.

Poinsettia Special 22-8-20

Designed for production of poinsettias, especially in early to mid production. Use TotalGro 15-11-29 or 15-5-25 for a high quality finished plant. High nitrate level reduces potential for ammonium toxicity resulting in leaf burn and leaf curl. Excellent plant food for dark weather situations and all situations where soil phosphorus is adequate or where phosphorus has been pre-incorporated into the mix prior to planting.

The additional molybdenum in 22-8-20 meets the high molybdenum requirement of poinsettias, and prevents chlorosis and leaf margin burn associated with nitrate accumulation arising from molybdenum deficiency.

Maximum solubility of this product in hot water is 4 1/4 lbs. per gallon.

Foliage Plant Special 24-8-16

Research conducted by Conover, Poole, Joiner and others in Florida, has indicated that tropical foliage plants grown in containers in high organic media, produce highest quality when fed with either a 1-1-1 or 3-1-2 plant food. While our TotalGro 20- 20-20 formulation is ideally suited for soils having little or no pre-incorporated phosphorus, or on soils where phosphorus fixation is a problem, a low phosphate foliage food is better suited to where a slowrelease phosphate has been added in the mix at planting. TotalGro 24-8-16 is specifically formulated for tropical foliage plantings, and is ideal for general use because of its very low salt index. We developed this formulation to meet the requirements of growers using peat-lite and bark-sand mixes for growing foliage plants, and have combined the desirable 3-1-2 ratio of N-P2O5-K2O with our blend of chelated micronutrients. Due to the formulation's high urea content, it can be used in foliar fertilization programs. Plants are better able to absorb nitrogen from the urea form, than any other N form. The phosphorus in 24-8-16 is derived from high purity ammonium phosphate, and thus contains no harmful fluorides that commonly occur as a contaminant in some 3-1-2 formulations. This product is available in two custom blends: dye-free blend where the presence of tracer dye is undesirable, and “winter feed” blend.

The maximum solubility of this product in hot water is 3 1/4-4 lbs/gallon.

Bark Media/Tree Special 28-7-14

This is an ideal formulation for bark-based media as an all-purpose plant food where phosphate has been pre-blended in the soil mix. It is designed specifically for production of container-grown woody plants in pine bark and similar media. The high nitrogen content helps offset nitrogen demand from “green” bark or sawdust in bark-based mixes.

This 4-1-2 N-P-K formula is also especially suited for fertilization of field-grown trees by both drip irrigation and soil injection techniques. The high nitrogen provides rapid and uniform growth in indeterminate tree species, i.e., those with continual shoot and foliage growth throughout the growing season, and boost growth when needed for those species with indeterminate growth or intermittent growth.

The formula is also favored by greenskeepers and park managers for turfgrass fertilization on most turfgrass species.

The formula is acid-forming and the nitrogen is primarily in the urea form, thus the product is useful as a foliar spray for rapid correction of nutrition problems in a variety of crops.

Maximum solubility of this product in hot water is 4 to 4.5 lbs. per gallon.

Acid-Azalea-Foliar Special 30-10-10

Very high N formulation for orchids grown in fir bark or for any crops needing a nitrogen boost. It is ideal for feeding tropical foliage plants during production, for container azaleas and nursery stock, by promoting dark green, rapid growth, and strong root systems. Its high ammoniacal nitrogen content makes it an excellent warm weather, sunny month plant food.

Because of its high acid potential, this formulation works well when used in high alkalinity water or where it is desirable to reduce media pH.

This formulation is well-suited for foliar-application due to the high urea content. This product is available in a custom dye-free blend where the presence of tracer dye is undesirable. See Page 38 for details on foliar nutrient application.

Bag Culture Tomato Special 3-13-29

This formula was designed based upon greenhouse tomato research by Dr. Rick Snyder at Mississippi State University and Dr. Pat Hegwood, Louisiana State University. It is specifically designed for use by growers of greenhouse tomatoes in bags using pine bark media. The formula yields the same micronutrient ratios found in the Steiner solution developed by Abram Steiner in the 1960s in Europe. The main difference is simplicity of use and flexibility in nitrogen control. Research using the popular bag culture method suggests that lower nitrogen feed rates are best. The total nitrogen feed normally used in bag culture today is around 100 ppm of total nitrogen. When calcium nitrate is added from a separate injector while feeding 3-13-29, essential nutrients are fed in a balanced solution to tomatoes. Although the N feed rate is lower, concentrations of all other nutrients provided by the 3-13-29 mix fall within the ratios recommended by Steiner for hydroponic culture of greenhouse vegetables. The 3- 13-29 formula can also be adapted for use in bag culture of cucumbers, peppers, herbs and cut flowers. Call or write for a brochure on 3-13-29 application rates and grower tips.

Hydroponic Special/Steiner Formula 8-5-16

The 8-5-16 is one of the most widely researched hydroponic plant foods available on the market today. The development of a stable blended 8-5-16 resulted largely from extensive greenhouse tomato production research conducted by Dr. John Larsen, Professor Emeritus In Horticulture, Texas A&M.

Essentially, TotalGro's 8-5-16 formula is a Steiner Ratio plant food modified to fulfill the growing requirements for conditions in North America. When mixed in equal proportions, the two components of the 8-5-16 formula produce a complete plant food solution containing all essential major, secondary and trace nutrients required for production of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and other hydroponically-grown crops. It is suitable for use in all nutrient flow technique (NFT) applications, nutrient troughs, ponds, aeroponic systems, as well as in bag or container culture of crops in sand, perlite, rockwool and other relatively inert substrates.

This formula can also be used in container-culture with organic media, although our 15-10-30 formulas may provide more flexibility in these substrates.

This product is available in a standard formula with boron suitable for tomato and cucumber culture, as well as in a low-boron custom blend. The 8-5-16 formula can be prepared in batch tanks of dilute solution, or injected through a dual-head injection system.

Consult our technical department regarding detailed instructions in use of 8-5-16 hydroponic plant foods.
