Acadian

Preparation

Shake well before use. ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate fully dissolves in water and is suitable for use in liquid foliar, soil applied, and irrigation water applications. ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate is compatible with most insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers. Some pH adjustments may be required with acidic mixtures. Add surfactants after the product has completely dissolved in the tank solution. When mixing with calcium products, thoroughly mix ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate with the water in the tank prior to adding the calcium product. If interaction of chemicals is unknown, a "jar" compatibility test is recommended.Regular applications are important for maximizing crop potential during stress.

Application

Foliar applications
Fill half the spray tank with water, begin agitating and gradually add recommended amount of ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate with remainder of water and spray solution. Use enough water for good spray coverage. The foliar spray should be applied as a fine mist, with low fluid velocity until the foliage is wet. Do not foliar-apply during times of moisture or heat stress. For best results apply during the cool part of the day or when temperatures are below 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not spray just before or after rainfall or sprinkler irrigation. Use a surfactant for maximum dispersal and leaf adherence. Application rates for permanent crops should be adjusted based on plant size and leaf area.

Soil applications
Soil applied treatments can be made by mixing with soil-applied fertility, directed sprays to the soil, sidedress treatments, applications through the irrigation systems or other methods whicheffectively apply ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate to the soil. When making irrigation treatments dilute 1 part ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate in a minimum of 50 parts of finished solution andagitate thoroughly. Continuous agitation of the supply tank is recommended. ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate can be applied through drip, microjet, sprinkle, overhead, furrow, flood and other types of irrigation at the suggested rates. For micro sprinkler, solid set or drip irrigation, apply after the system is fully pressurized, inject finished solution for at least one hour and follow with clean water for at least two hours. Avoid heavy irrigations immediately following application.

Rooting/Transplant solution
To encourage root growth of new transplants, treat roots with a solution of ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed
Concentrate at the rate of 0.1 – 0.7% solution prior to transplanting.

Late season and post-harvest applications
ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate is an excellent way to encourage root growth and prepare perennial crops for next season’s early growth. Apply to the soil or foliar using above methods.

Dosage

Woody Perennial Crops (Trees, Vines, Bushes, etc.): Apply 32 to 96 ounces of ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate per acre starting at regrowth in the
spring. Repeat treatments every 7-30 days. At transplanting, a root treatment can be used. Post-harvest applications can be made every 1-4 weeks from
harvest to dormancy. Applications can be made either foliar or to the soil. Apply 3-5 days prior to an anticipated plant stress.

Other Fruit and Vegetable Crops: Apply 32 to 96 ounces of ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate per acre starting at planting with repeat treatments
every 7-30 days. Applications can be made either foliar or to the soil. Apply 3-5 days prior to an anticipated plant stress.

Field Crops: Apply 3 ounces of ACADIAN® Liquid Seaweed Concentrate per acre at planting. Follow with applications of 10 to 16 ounces per acre at key
growth stages (see specific recommendations). Applications can be made either foliar or to the soil. Apply 3-5 days prior to an anticipated plant stress.
