Alternatives with Monty's
Ph (03) 5998 9098 for further information.
1. Herbicide Application - “Burn Down”
When applying herbicide for “burn down” purposes, add 250ml of Monty’s 8-16-8 per 370 litres of tank mix. If you are getting 10 acres of coverage from 370 litres of mix, using Monty’s to assist in “burn down” will cost around .30 per acre. Monty’s will act as a rapid transport vehicle to carry the herbicide where it is most effective… to the root!
2. Post Emergent Herbicide Application (all crops)
When applying post emergent herbicides, add 500ml of Monty’s 8-16-8 per acreage of coverage. Not only will the addition of Monty’s to your herbicide assist in a faster more complete weed kill, it will also provide a “boost” of NPK that crops often need at this time of the growing cycle; due to “leaching of” and “inactive” pre-applied fertilizers. We call this, the “Weed & Feed” application.
Always conduct a simple jar test for compatability.
3. All Forage Crops
Apply 500ml of Monty’s 8-16-8 per acre. First application to be early spring when growth is 4 to 7 inches. (If cost effective, a follow-up application is suggested 2 weeks later. This follow-up application to be determined based on cost of current fertiliser program versus Monty’s.) In-season applications should be 5 to 8 days after every cutting (again, when growth is 4 to 7 inches). Forage crops receiving Monty’s should prove to be more productive as season progresses and as suggested applications are applied. New plantings should have Monty’s 4-15-12 Seed Starter applied as well, at a rate of 750ml per acre.
4. Pastures
Apply 500ml of Monty’s 8-16-8 per acre. First application to be early spring. Can be applied with herbicide, pesticide or fungicide to eliminate additional pass in field. Follow up applications to be monthly or bi-monthly and based on need and cost efficiency to apply.
5. Corn, Soybeans, Silage, Wheat, Cotton, and Peanuts
Apply 750ml of Monty’s 4-15-12 per acre, at planting. Best results when fertiliser & water solution is applied directly to the seed. One foliar application of Monty’s 8-16-8 should be applied at herbicide pass or when plants are 4 to 7 inches high at a rate of 500ml per acre. Monty’s 4-15-15 should be applied as a “finisher” prior to bloom stage. If continued plant growth is the objective and not “the pushing of fruit or bloom”, a second Monty’s 8-16-8 application can be applied instead of 4-15-12 as a “finisher”.
6. Vegetable Crops
Apply 500ml of Monty’s 8-16-8 per acre, “over the top” or through drip-irrigation (at the root). If manually applying with a tank sprayer, 1 teaspoon per 7-8 litres of water, foliar applied weekly or bi-weekly. When desired growth has been reached and objective becomes to “push fruit or bloom”, then Monty’s 4-15-12 should be applied at the same rates as above. When growing Root Crops, using Monty’s 4-15-12 throughout the growing process, is recommended.
7. Tobacco
Use Monty’s one or all of the following suggested applications:
- 500ml Monty’s 8-16-8 per acre in setter barrel at planting
- 500ml Monty’s 8-16-8 per acre in setter barrel at planting plus 500ml Monty’s 8-16-8 per acre “over the top” at “lay by” stage
- 500ml Monty’s 8-16-8 per acre in setter barrel at planting plus 500ml Monty’s 8-16-8 per acre “over the top” at “lay by” stage plus 500ml Monty’s 4-15-12 per acre applied with sucker spray
8. Bare Root Crops (such as vines and trees)
At planting, soak bare root plants in 20 litre bucket (or other) with 7-8 litres of water + 30-40ml of Monty’s 4-15-12 for approximately 1 hour, or while planting. Follow up root feedings should be 1 teaspoon of Monty’s 4-15-12 per 7-8 litres, per plant (when watering). Once plant has obtained 30 to 50% foliage cover, you should foliar feed with Monty’s 8-16-8 at a rate of 500ml per acre if you have means to calibrate application or 250ml to 370 litres of water, if manually applying the product. Mature plants should be fertilised with the Monty’s 4-15-12 formulation for maximum production. |
