FOR FOLIAR AND DRIP USE

MONARCH^® is a unique and effective primary plant nutrient designed for foliar application. The recommended use of MONARCH^® allows growers to supplement their primary nutrient demands. The nutrients in MONARCH^® quickly penetrate the waxy surface of the leaf and are rapidly absorbed by plant cells. The liquid plant nutrients in MONARCH^® are highly buffered by organic compounds. When used as recommended, MONARCH^® may help to prevent leaf and blossom damage normally associated with foliar nutrient application. MONARCH^® may also be applied through a drip or micro sprinkler system.

MONARCH^® contains the equivalent of 20% available phosphate, which is important for rapid fruit development. Phosphate is associated with the energy transfer process, photosynthesis, and protein synthesis.

MONARCH^® also contains 15% available potassium. Virtually all of the key physiological processes depend on potassium because of its functions in the enzymatic catalysts. One of the key roles of potassium is to maintain water relations in the stomata (leaf cells).

One to one and one-half gallons of MONARCH^® per acre for tree and vine crops, applied just prior to bloom along with appropriate micronutrients, will increase the foliar uptake of both the micronutrients and other nutrients. Another application should follow after fruit set for retention and sizing.

With vegetables, apply one to one and one-half gallons of MONARCH^® per acre from mid-season to just prior to harvest. Combine MONARCH^® with potassium nitrate for high potassium use crops.

MONARCH^®contains Actagro Organic Acids® extracted from leonardite in a patented formulation. These organic acids are then combined with liquid plant nutrients in a patented reaction process.

MONARCH^® contains a balance of available phosphate and potassium, which are intended to stimulate early growth, root development and resistance to disease.  These nutrients are combined with a percentage of nitrogen to stimulate uptake, growth, fruit set and allow for a strong and vigorous plant structure.

MONARCH^® is non-phytotoxic when used as directed and is compatible with most commonly used pesticides and fertilizers. MONARCH^® has a low salt index and can be applied as a foliar spray or used in drip irrigation systems.

MONARCH^® should not be applied to plants that are stressed by high temperature or lack of moisture. Optimum spraying conditions typically exist during early morning or late evening hours.

MONARCH^® disperses well in water as follows:

1. Partially fill tank with water and start agitation.

2. Add other nutrients or pesticides.

3. Add MONARCH^® to circulating tank mix.

4. Fill tank and agitate thoroughly.
