PUMPKIN

This pumpkin field in Southern Arizona tested the effects of Ag1000® on salt affected soils. The trial consisted of two fields, one treated with Ag1000 and the other without. Soils were very high in salts and had issues with powdery mildew.

Treated fields received 40 gallons per acre of Ag1000® spread out over the growing season. Both fields were also treated with 20 gallons per acre of 16-8-3-4 with humate and calcium.

For most field crops, we recommend 60 gallons of Ag1000® per acre per year spread over applications throughout the year, generally at each irrigation.

40 Gallons/acre/year in the Soil

20 Gallons/acre/year as a Foliar

Foliar spray should be applied in the morning or evenings. Conventional farmers can use Ag1000® with most of their programs. Do not mix synthetic chemicals with the microbes in concentrated, non-diluted, form. Many pesticides, such as Round-Up are antibiotic in nature and kill all the microbes within seconds of mixing. Therefore, if pesticides are to be used, please wait at least 48 hours between applications of pesticide and Ag1000®.
