plant fertilizer ftb Front Row Ag Part B 2-13-17 Bloom Fertilizer, 25 lb

Front Row Ag Part B is a scientifically balanced formulation designed to support prolific growth and the production of essential plant compounds. With high levels of magnesium and sulfur, and a precision-tuned phosphorus to potassium ratio, Part B delivers optimal nutrition throughout all growth stages.

The Front Row Ag three-part system offers growers a convenient and consistently effective approach to achieving agricultural excellence. Front Row Ag can be mixed direct to reservoir (DTR) or used to create stock solutions in a 3:2:2 ratio of Part A, Part B, and Bloom that can be injected equally throughout the flowering cycle. Both methods allow growers to easily deliver scientifically formulated nutrition to their plants. Compatible with a variety of water sources and injection equipment as well as direct-to-reservoir usage, the three-part system opens up new levels of competence in controlled environment agriculture.

Front Row Ag's water soluble fertilizers include PART A, PART B, and BLOOM. These products are intended to be the main constituents of a plant nutrient system. Only by correctly using all three fertilizers on actively growing plants can the best results be achieved. Avoid foliar applications of this product when plants are suffering from moisture stress or during periods of high temperature and/or low humidity. If applying as foliar, apply the spray solution to a small test area to determine any undesirable phytotoxic effects.

Front Row Ag Part B 2-13-17 Storage

STOCK CONCENTRATE
Store in opaque containers, at room temperature (71F), raise off the ground, without exposure to direct sunlight or long periods of artificial light. Use within 14 days of making stock concentrate.

DRY SOLUBLES
To store unused fertilizer, remove air and seal bag by folding over and clipping. Best storage is in a cool, dry area outside of direct sunlight or light. Humidity may change the consistency of the fertilizer, but not the performance.

Front Row Ag Part B 2-13-17 Rate Recommendations

Unless otherwise specified, use recommended rates in the following water volumes based on application method. Use sufficient volume to ensure thorough coverage and wetting needed for optimum results.

STOCK CONCENTRATE INJECTION:
Depending on lbs per gallon in stock concentrate, use rates are typically between 6 mL and 36 mL per gallon. For best results, make stock concentrate with source water with less than 40 ppm. It is recommended source water contains 1 - 3 ppm Cl from Calcium Hypochlorite.

DIRECT TO RESERVOIR:
1-9 grams per gallon (for use directly into reservoirs and feed tanks without making concentrate).

Part A contributes 0.322 EC per gram per gallon.

Rates other than those suggested may be applied depending on crop conditions and cultural practices. Part A is recommended for use on (but not limited to) the following crops and areas - Field, Greenhouse, Indoor, Vegetable, Fruit and Nut Crops (such as alfalfa, almonds, apples, apricots, avocados, beans, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, cherries, citrus, corn, cotton, cucumbers, hemp, lettuce, nectarines, onions, peaches, pears, peas, pecans, peppers, plums, prunes, sorghum, sugar beets, tomatoes, walnuts, and wheat): Apply 1-9 grams per gallon or 6-36 mL stock concentrate per gallon of irrigation water as needed.

Vine and Berry Crops (such as blueberries, cranberries, grapes, hops, and strawberries): Apply 1-9 grams per gallon or 6-36 mL stock concentrate for every gallon irrigation water in early spring or when deficiency symptoms first appear and repeat as needed.

Front Row Ag Part B 2-13-17 Rate Mixing and Handling

DIRECT TO RESERVOIR

• 1. ADD R.O. WATER - Fill RTU batch tank to final target volume
• 2. ADD FRONT ROW - while agitating. Wait 3-5 minutes between each component addition
• 3. MIX - Continue agitation, adjust pH and check solution after 5 - 10 minutes

STOCK CONCENTRATE

• 1. ADD R.O. WATER - Fill stock tank to 50% of final volume
• 2. ADD FRONT ROW & MIX Start agitation, add total LBS/GAL for final volume, mix for 5 minutes
• 3. FILL Continue agitation while filling to final volume, mix for 10 more minutes

MIXING
The following mixing instructions are based on the 3-2-2 Method. Please see the HOW TO VALIDATE STOCK CONCENTRATE section and Feed Chart QR Code for the traditional values used for even injection ratios based on the 4-3-3 Method. The '#-#-#' refers to bags per drum i.e., 3-2-2 equals per 50 gallons - three-25 lbs bags Part A and two-25 lbs bags Part B and Bloom. Additionally, it is the correct dry to reservoir ratio for the products relative to each other.

With constant agitation, dissolve the recommended amount of this product into approximately half the required final volume of Reverse Osmosis water. Make sure the mixing drill reaches bottom, is run forward and reverse, and creates a very forceful disturbance. Mix for at least 5 minutes. Once concentrate appears solutionized, fill the remaining 50% volume with constant agitation. Mix for at least 10 more minutes. NOTE: Part A is recommended to be used at 1.5 pounds per gallon or 681 grams per gallon of final concentrate volume. See chart in ‘How to Validate’ and Feed Chart QR code for other options. Slowly add the remaining water while maintaining constant agitation. Water quality and temperature will determine maximum solubility. Once stock solution has reached room temperature and is solutionized, mix briefly again to prevent scaling. Warmer water temperatures increase solubility and shorten dissolving time. As this product goes into solution, the water temperature will drop. Therefore, it is important when preparing concentrated solutions to compensate for this temperature drop to ensure that the fertilizer is completely dissolved. DO NOT exceed weights recommended per gallon. Accuracy should be maintained at ±1 gram.

COMPATIBILITY
Part B may be applied separately or in conjunction with most pesticides and other fertilizers. Part B is intended to be used with Front Row Part A and BLOOM. DO NOT use with basic metal sulfates, strong alkaline materials (such as hydrated lime and lime sulfur), oxidizers or paraffinic oils. Front Row Ag Part A, Part B, and BLOOM components each have their own stock concentrate tank. Front Row Ag Part A, Part B, and BLOOM components go direct to the reservoir in the same RTU feed tank. A compatibility test is recommended if the desired combination has not been previously used. Tank mixtures with copper-based products can be phytotoxic due to increased solubility of copper. Before general applications, apply the solution to a small test area of the foliage to determine any undesirable phytotoxic effects. All stock concentrates are designed to be made with Reverse Osmosis (RO) or demineralized water. Recommended Irrigation Water Temperature: 68F-72F, Stock Concentrate Mixing Temperature: 71F-85F, & Stock Concentrate Resting Temperature: 71F-75F.

HOW TO VALIDATE STOCK CONCENTRATE

• 1. From mixed stock concentrate, remove 50 mL and dilute in 1 gallon Reverse Osmosis water.
• 2. Compare results to EC validation value (ms/cm) in the table below.
• 3. Adjust stock concentrate to achieve validation value.

NOTE: Values for stock concentrate and reference solutions are based on 0 ppm source water at room temperature (71F).
