ALPINE K-Thio® liquid fertilizer can be applied as a side-dressed or fertigation application at recommended rates. Please consult your ALPINE Dealer or District Sales Manager for specific placement and application guidelines. ALPINE K-Thio liquid fertilizer can be deep-placed, side-dressed with 28% or 32% UAN (may require additional water) through a pivot, or by itself to provide potassium at the critical growth stage when soil uptake is limited.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

ALPINE K-Thio liquid fertilizer can mix with many crop production products.

• In a small container prior to full-scale mixing,  proportionally mix all the components to confirm  compatibility.
• Thorough mixing of all blends is important
• Temperature and storage time can influence the  degree of success
• Mix only the amount that will be immediately used
• Long-term storage is not suggested

MIXING PROCEDURE:

• Add ½ of total water to spray tank
• Start recirculation in the tank
• Add micronutrients and/or any other flowable material
• Add any soluble powder first pre-mixing with water
• Add the recommended amount of ALPINE liquid fertilizer
• Add remaining water volume and continue recirculation prior to spraying
