GRIGG® APPLICATION GUIDELINES

Fundamental Instructions for Applications and Programs

Very Important 
Most liquid products are designed to be foliar absorbed. For maximum performance, apply early in the morning or late in the evening with 1-2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq ft [300-600 L/Ha]. Allow the application to dry on plant 3-6 hours before watering.

Surfactants
GRIGG Ultraplex is a foliar nutrition product that contains a non ionic surfactant (Yucca schidigera), which reduces water surface tension to improve foliar application wetting and absorption. No additional surfactant is necessary when using this product. GRIGG Ultraplex is a critical foundation product and should be the first thing added to the water of your spray tank mix. The recommended rate is 3 fl oz per 1000 sq ft [10 L/Ha].

Compatibility 
GRIGG Proven Foliar nutrients are compatible with each other and most fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides when tank mixed at recommended rates. A jar test is always recommended as a part of standard operating procedure. The high degree of compatibility of the Proven Foliar line includes the ability to be mixed with other foliar applied fungicides, insecticides and herbicides that do not need to be watered in. When mixing with herbicides, consider using the lowest label rate as GRIGG products may enhance the uptake of the herbicide.

Rates 
To convert 14 day programs to 7 day programs lower rates by one half (1/2) or two thirds (2/3) of original rate.

Minors
GRIGG straight chelated nutrients or any other Proven Foliar nutrient can be added to any program as indicated by soil and tissue test results. Typical rates for adding individual micronutrients range between 1-3 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft [3-10 L/Ha]. For severe deficiencies, as much as 6 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft [20 L/Ha].

Soil Specialty Nutrition Program 
For sand based greens, use 1 gallon per acre [10 L/Ha] of GRIGG Bi Blend and 4 gallons per acre [40 L/Ha] of GRIGG Rhizonify applied monthly and lightly watered in. For soil based greens use 1/2 gallon per acre [5 L/Ha] of GRIGG Bi Blend and 2 1/2 gallons per acre [25 L/Ha] of GRIGG Rhizonify.

Program Balance
GRIGG Proven Foliar nutrients are an effective method of providing nutrients to the plant. However, we also recommend supplementing with GRIGG GreenSpec granular nutrients year round as determined by soil testing to complete a total program.

Intervals
Unless otherwise stated, GRIGG nutrition programs should typically be applied every 7-14 days. There is flexibility to accommodate differing management styles and between 1 to 3 weeks is acceptable if rates are adjusted accordingly.
