PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE

The table above narrows down the choice of a Peters product for various crops and stages of growth. Following is some more information that will help you to select the correct formulation for your crop.

Regulating growth - this can be achieved in two basic ways:

• Adjust the N:K ratio - An N:K ratio of 2:1 will encourage foliage growth. A ratio of 1:1.5 will produce a squatter, hardier plant.
• Total rate of addition - a rate of 1.5gr/litre will produce much faster and lusher growth than will 0.75gr/litre.

Choosing nitrogen source - the Peters range gives you a choice of the percentage mix of nitrogen sources (nitrate, ammonium and urea).

• Greenhouse potted crops - a higher nitrate source with little or no urea is preferred.
• Foliar feeding - high urea will allow nitrogen uptake through the leaves.
• Outside potted and in-ground crops - a blend of the three nitrogen forms gives good performance.
• Summer crops - all three forms are good. A higher urea content is easily tolerated.
• Winter crops - higher nitrate nitrogen preferred. Little or no urea should be used.

Growth stage variants -

• Young plants - higher P for good root development and moderate N and K.
• Vegetative growing stage - higher N to encourage growth with median P and K.
• Finishing - higher K to harden and winterise foliage of trees and shrubs and to encourage flowering. Moderate N and P.

Foliar Feeding - To apply through spray equipment mix Peters Foliar Feed High N at 3gr/litre. If mixed with pesticides, trial on a small area first. Do not mix Peters with copper fungicides, bactericides, chlorothalonyl, Daconyl, methomyl (Lannate®), mineral oils, dinitro products Benomyl (Benlate®), Alliette®.

In combination with Osmocote® - If potting media or soil contains Osmocote, use Peters at 60% of recommended rate and reduce Osmocote to 70% of normal recommended rate.

Trial First - A small trial to verify you are using the correct product at the correct rate to give the desired response is recommended.

ADVANTAGES AND FEATURES.

Laboratory tested and quality controlled - Peters fertilisers are tested and quality controlled by the in-house commercial testing laboratory with over 40 years experience.

High Purity Fertilisers - Peters fertilisers are manufactured from high grade technical quality materials with a high safety factor. Under normal rates of application, there is virtually no risk of burning crops.

Completely Soluble - Even at abnormally high concentrations, Peters fertilisers are 100% soluble and crystal clear with no undissolved material to clog lines or emitters. Peters stays in solution and will not precipitate out over time.

M-77® Exclusive Chelating Formula - Our exclusive M-77® formula added to Peters Professional formulations assures that, the NPK plus trace elements all remain available to the crop due to enhanced solubility and availability.

Low Salinity - Peters fertilisers contain no excess salts such as chlorine, carbonates or excess sulphates. The result is a high rate of feed with low salt levels.

Completely Available Trace Elements - Mainly chelated trace elements are used in formulates of Peters Professional. This ensures full availability to the crop through roots or leaves and prevents precipitation in tanks and lines. There are 3 levels of trace elements: Peat-Lite for soilless media, General Purpose for soil containing media and Special for specific crops.

Non Staining Colour Tracer - A blue non-staining colour tracer in Peters formulations lets you know where the fertiliser is.

A Wide Range of Formulations - From the extensive general use and crop specific formulations, a peters is available for your crop needs. We can also formulate a Peters to your own specifications.
