For the cabbage banded treatment at planting, two ounces of the new AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer 4-3-3, two ounces of AGGRAND 0-12-0 Liquid Bonemeal and one ounce of the newly formulated AGGRAND 0-0-8 Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash were mixed in one quart of water. This mixture was placed into a trench below and to the side of the roots. The additional AGGRAND treatment (root feeding plus foriar plus band) would tell the scientists whether the additional products and treatments (AGGRAND Plus) were effective in obtaining even higher yields than the single product and treatment (AGGRAND).

The AGGRAND and AGGRAND Plus treatments both produced highly significant increases in mean head weights over the Miracle Gro treatment. The AGGRAND treatment produced a 308% increase in mean head weight and the AGGRAND Plus treatment produced a 379% increase in mean head weight. The AGGRAND Plus treatment also produced an increase of 71% in mean head weight over the AGGRAND treatment.

The take-home message tells us that AGGRAND is more effective than Miracle Gro even when the AGGRAND plants are grown in soilless media. In addition, the use of banded and foliar applications with a combination of AGGRAND products are effective in obtaining even higher yields than soil applications of one AGGRAND product alone.

Plant Growth and Development

AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal nbmcontains fast and slow release phosphorus. As a result, AGGRAND 0-12-0 applied as a starter fertilizer is readily available during early plant development, and the rest becomes available throughout the growing season. Many bonemeal fertilizers are not ground as finely as AGGRAND 0-12-0 and are released over a period of years so the phosphorus can become locked up into an unavailable form in the soil. The fine grind of AGGRAND 0-12-0 makes it dissolve in a shorter period of time which makes it more suited to plant needs. The fineness also facilitates deeper penetration into the soil profile so it becomes available to a greater percentage of plant roots than coarser granular bonemeal products.

The fast release phosphorus in AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal makes it an excellent source for foliar feeding fruit trees, flowers, vegetables and crops that require extra phosphorus during early bud formation and fruit enlargement. AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal also contains calcium which improves soil tilth, nutrient exchange capacity, and is useful in correcting calcium deficiencies of plants that require extra calcium such as tomatoes.

AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal is the key to early plant growth and development and super yields of high quality fruits, flowers, roots and field crops that need extra phosphorus and calcium.

Plant Nutrition

AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal is an important part of any soil fertility and plant nutrition program. AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal contains 12 percent readily available phosphorus (P), which is reflected by the grade of 0-12-0 (N-P-K). Phosphorus aids in plant establishment and production of prolific blooms and high yields of top quality fruits.

AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal is recommended for application during transplanting of vegetable and flower starts, and planting of bulbs and seeds. It increases root development which produces faster growing, healthier plants. Application of AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal to carrots and potatoes increases the size and quality of the roots and tubers. Application to bulbs increases the number and size of flowers, and the bulbs can be split more frequently. Increased phosphorus availability during flowering and fruit development lengthens the flowering period and produces higher numbers of flowers and fruits.
