*commercial growers & farmers information only

 

Monty's Plant Food is a blended liquid organic plant food. It also contains other substances which buffer against burning. Our unique product supplies and enables essential existing nutrients to be used by the plant promoting stronger, more productive growth. It can be used in the root zone or as a foliar spray, which is the most effective and efficient method of managing trace element requirements.

For agricultural crops, it is most important to start with Monty's Seed Starter applied directly on the seed at planting and then incorporate Monty's foliar spray program. Using Monty's Seed Starter will increase moisture retention around the seed which then increases biological activity for quicker germination and better root development. Monty's foliar spray program then maximizes crop performance yielding vigorous, stress tolerant crops.

Monty's is a concentrated liquid plant food of unsurpassed quality at an unparalleled price. Monty's Plant Food contains quality ingredients that promote faster root development, stronger plant growth and increased plant yields.

How do I use Monty's with Flowers?

Annuals respond best when fed once a week with the 8-16-8 formula. The ratio should be 1600 PPM. In the greenhouse operations we are using the 8-16-8 formula @ 200 PPM. This is based on feeding the annuals on a daily basis.

How do I use Monty's on Roses?

Roses are very heavy feeders. We recommend that roses get fed with Monty's at least once per week. Approx 5 litres of Monty's will take care of 1600 roses for one application. The 8-16-8 formula should be applied at the time when foliage develops. This formula should be used for approximately  two months. If the rose bush has reached the desired growth, a grower can begin mixing the two formulas 50-50. We recommend growers to continue this process for at least two weeks and then begin using the 4-15-4 formula alone. The 4-15-4 formula should be used until the roses are about three weeks from dormancy.

What is the best formula to use with Hydrangea Shrubs?

We recommend the 4-15-4 formula for hydrangea shrubs. The root development is extremely important when trying to maintain these plants. The annual and perennial flowers should be fed with Monty's 8-16-8, however, later in the season, you may want to mix the two formulas to slow down the amount of growth.

How do I use Monty's on Fruit Trees?

Spray foliage with 8-16-8 formula every week for one month. The second month, spray leavestwice weekly with the 4-15-4 formula until blooms appear. Do not fertilise after bloom appear.

How do I use Monty's on Orchids?

We recommend that orchid growers utilise Monty's Plant Food in the following rate:
Begin using Monty's 8-16-8 formula at 1:2500 during the first 4 months of the growingseason. During the next two months, we suggest that the 8-16-8 formula and the 4-15-4 formula be mixed 50-50. The rate should be again at 1:2500
During the flowering period, we would recommend the 4-15-4 formula at 1:2500
