Ag1000® is a ready-to-use soil conditioner, comprised of Effective Microorganisms. Ag1000® can be applied through the irrigation of any hydroponic system whether fully liquid or with small amounts of soil or soil less media.
Ag1000® contains live microbials that are native to environmental ecosystems such as soil, water, and plants. These microbes are naturally antibiotic and antifungal by producing compounds such as enzymes and proteins. In addition, they produce plant growth regulators that increase plant growth and strength.
- INCREASE GROWTH
- INCREASE HEALTH OF GROWING MEDIA
- KEEP WATER CLEAN
- IMPROVE NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY
- KEEP IRRIGATION LINES CLEAN
- REDUCE MAINTENANCE COSTS
- INCREASE RESISTANCE TO PESTS
- PROVIDE ENZYMES, PROTEINS AND VITAMINS
FOR IRRIGATION:
Run Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® continuously in the water system at a 1:1000 ratio. If using a 1:128 dosing unit this will equal 1 quart Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® per 5 gallons of water. If irrigation lines have not been cleaned in awhile or ever, be sure to flush the system as the microbes will breakdown any build up causing lines to plug.
If not running continuously add Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® at 3% rate several times per week.
FOLIAR SPRAY OR FOR AEROPONICS:
Apply Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® once a week at a rate of 0.5 to 1 oz per Gallon of water. Use drip system, hose-end, or backpack sprayer.
HYDRATING PLANTING MEDIA (Soil or soilless):
Add 4 oz of Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® per 100 pounds of media mix.
BUILDING MAINTENANCE:
Spray the greenhouse glazing with Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® at a rate of 1 oz per gallon of water (1:128) weekly or bi-weekly to clean glazing and maximize light transfer.
Use the same 1oz/gallon dilution rate to spray off flooring, walls, and shelves for safe, chemical-free cleaning.
WATER RECIRCULATION SYSTEM:
Inoculate with Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® at a 1:500 rate. You may need to flush the system if buildup occurs as microbes will begin to loosen any build up in the system.
COMPOSTING:
Add 1 gallon of Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® per cubic yard of plant material.
Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® does not contain nutrients and can be applied in addition to any nutritional program. Do not add directly to non-diluted synthetic chemicals. Add Ag1000® or Activated EM-1® once inputs have been diluted, do no store in the tank together long term.
