APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Field Crop
Recommended initial application is 75 - 150 pounds per acre, followed by an annual maintenance level of half the original application. Certain high value crops or crops that have undergone stress may warrant higher, up to double the application rate. 30 pounds per acre is suggested for use in starter fertilizers placed near the seed line.
Vegetable
When preparing soil, customers have reported an average of 30% improvement with AZOMITE treatment at the rate of 1/4 cup per plant. For larger areas, we recommend two 44 lb bags per acre (based on rows approximately 18" apart with plants 12" apart). If the bed is established, sprinkle around each plant. It should be applied with compost, humus, manures, or other fertilizers to provide additional levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It will not burn plants. For houseplants, mix 1 teaspoon per 2 inch pot diameter with potting soil before planting. Give 1 teaspoon quarterly thereafter. For roses, start with 1/4 lb. to the soil around each plant and lightly till into soil.
Small Fruit
Apply annually to all trees on ground surface under the drip line at the rate of 1 to 5 pounds, depending on the tree size. Double the application for decline or blight stricken trees. For grapes, apply 1/2 lb. to 1 lb. to the soil around each plant and lightly till into soil.
Viticulture
Apply annually to all trees on ground surface under the drip line at the rate of 1 to 5 pounds, depending on the tree size. Double the application for decline or blight stricken trees. For grapes, apply 1/2 lb. to 1 lb. to the soil around each plant and lightly till into soil.
Arboriculture
Apply annually to all trees on ground surface under the drip line at the rate of 1 to 5 pounds, depending on the tree size. Double the application for decline or blight stricken trees.
