Liquid Organic Fertilizer

Using AGGRAND to Grow Wetland Rice

Rice requires adequate amounts of N, P, and K to produce acceptable yields. The basal application of all three
nutrients at transplanting ensures crop establishment. In addition to this initial application, N should be applied
during tillering and panicle primordial formation through panicle emergence (boot stage into heading).
Too much N at a time can cause lodging and reduce grain quality. Rice responds to the gradual release of N
through the decomposition of organic matter. The use of green manures, or composted manure, and AGGRAND
supply N slowly as the rice crop needs them. The addition of another N source (up to 50 lbs.) will increase
yields especially when there isn’t enough organic matter.

Root Applications
Apply 1-2 gals. of AGGRAND 4-3-3, 1-1.5 gals. of AGGRAND 0-12-0, and 2-4 qts. Of AGGRAND 0-0-8 per acre
mixed in 30-60 gals. of water during transplanting.
If the field is drained between tillering and panicle formation, apply another 1-2 gals. of AGGRAND 4-3-3 per
acre mixed in 30-60 gals. of water with spray equipment.

Rates vary according to soil fertility and other inputs used. Lower dilution rates are more effective than higher
dilution rates. Two or three lighter applications may be more effective than one heavy application. If other
constraints only allow one trip over the field, then do not exceed a 4% dilution rate (4 gals. of AGGRAND to 100
gals. of water) when applying AGGRAND to the foliage.

Soil Applications
Mix 3 gals. of AGGRAND 4-3-3 in 20-30 gals. of water. Apply solution to one acre. Till fertilizer into the soil by
itself or spray onto compost, manure, or green manure and incorporate into the soil. Apply in spring and fall if
soil is hard and low in organic matter.
