Acadian Organic

Preparation

Shake well before use. ACADIAN® Organic Liquid Seaweed Concentrate fully dissolves in water and is suitable for use in liquid foliar, soil applied, and irrigation water applications. ACADIAN® Organic 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® Organic 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® Organic Liquid Seaweed Concentrate with remainder of water and spray solution. Use enough water for good spray coverage. For backpack sprayers use a solution of 0.3 to 0.5 oz per gallon of water. 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 temperaturesare 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 which effectively apply ACADIAN® Organic Liquid Seaweed Concentrate to the soil. When making irrigation treatments dilute 1 part ACADIAN® Organic Liquid Seaweed Concentrate in a minimum of 50 parts of finished solution and agitate thoroughly. Continuous agitation of the supply tank is recommended.ACADIAN® Organic Liquid Seaweed Concentrate can be applied through drip, microjet, sprinkle, overhead, furrow, flood and other types of irrigation at the suggested rates. Apply after the system is fully pressurized and inject solution as necessary for uniform application. Fully flush system with cleanwater after application. Avoid heavy irrigations immediately following application.

Transplant solution
To encourage early establishment of new transplants, treat with a solution of ACADIAN® Organic Liquid Seaweed Concentrate at the rate of 0.1 – 0.7% solution prior to transplanting.

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

Drench treatment
Apply a soil drench using a dilution of 0.45 ounces per gallon of water. Applications can be made at 1-3 week intervals throughout the growing season.

Dosage

Woody Perennial Crops (Trees, Vines, Bushes, etc.): Apply 32 to 96 ounces of ACADIAN® Organic Liquid Seaweed Concentrate per acre starting at regrowth in the spring. Repeat treatments every 7-30 days. At transplanting, an early establishment 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® Organic 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® Organic 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.
