Coastal people have been using Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown seaweed commonly known as Norwegian Kelp, for centuries as a source of organic matter for improving spare sandy soils. Kelp is a source of essential trace minerals and cytokinins, a family of natural plant growth regulators that enhance plant development, color and vigor.

The kelp used in AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers products comes from the Atlantic coast of Canada. It contains more than 60 naturally occurring major and minor nutrients and amino acid. Active ingredients include the trace minerals boron, molybdenum, copper, iron, zinc, manganese, silcon and cobalt.

AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils provide superior protection and performance in cold- weather applications. They dramatically outperform conventional petroleum motor oils, especially in the cold. Conventional petroleum lubricants often contain paraffins (wax). While modern refining techniques remove most of the wax from petroleum oil, some wax-like molecules remain. These wax-like molecules are soluble at ambient tempertures above freezing, but crystallize into a honeycomb-like structure at lower temperatures and cause oil circulation problems.

At startup, this can leave working parts unprotected for as long as five minutes while the oil warms to a temperature that allows it to flow. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils provide outstanding low-temperature fluidity for fast, dependable winter starts and immediate startup protection. In addition, their superior synthetic multi-viscosity formulations allows AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils to provide exceptional high-temperature protection in hard-working vehicles used in severe-service winter applications.

Many consumers use the fall months to prepare their vehicles and equipment for winter. If there’s a weak point in a vehicle, it seems as though the cold will find it and create problems. Plastic becomes brittle, fuel and lubricants can gel and extreme cold is just plain hard on things. The winter months bring unique challenges for lubricants and are great for showcasing the enhanced performance benefits of AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils and Lubricants. Conventional lubricants are far more susceptible to the effects of extreme temperatures. Extreme cold at startup can cause oils to thicken, starving vital moving parts of necessary lubrication.

In many cases the motor oil will thicken to the point that the vehicle will not start. Many motorists let vehicles idle for extended periods to warm the interior and defrost the windows. Others create extreme heat in the engine by plowing or getting stuck in deep snow. These are just a few examples of the many challenges lubricants face in a typical North American winter. AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils and Lubricants are formulated for maximum cold-temperature performance, allowing quick starts, superior protection and versatility.

By the Fourth of July the corn was knee high, By the third week of July, his corn was chest high and by the first week of August the corn was over his head. By the first week in September the corn was tasselling and was matured by the third week of September. The cobs are as big around as soda pop cans and 12 to 14 inches long. The yield was great because there were so many kernels on each cob. An added benefit to the exceptional corn crop was the stimulation of dormant clover that grew between the rows. Although he didn’t remember clover having been there, it seemed a combination of the AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer and Natural Liquid Lime mix, the right amount of rain and the higher than normal temperatures stimulated clover growth. He was happy about the clover because he planned to harvest half of the corn and leave the remaining corn and clover standing to feed the deer for hunting season.

He’s been farming his entire life and had his ups and downs like everybody else. But he’ll tell you he’s never experienced the consistently impressive results he had with AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer and Natural Liquid Lime during these past seven years. It exceeds all of his expectations.

A farmer in Ohio, used a combination of AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer and AGGRAND Natural Liquid Lime to yield his best crop ever, even though he planted late. He has been using AGGRAND Fertilizer and Liquid Lime for seven years on a variety of crops with great success. This year, because of other obligations, he wasn’t able to plant his corn until the third week of June. On top of that, he planted the corn in a field that had been used to graze cattle and hadn’t been fertilized in the 47 years he has lived on the farm.

To make up lost time, he sprayed on a popular herbicide to defoliate the field. Three days later, he “notilled” the soil with a corn blender. Immediately after planting the corn, it began to rain and he couldn’t spray the AGGRAND fertilizer and Liquid Lime mix as he wanted . High temperatures (100 degrees F) followed the rain in the southern Ohio area. During the hot spell, he decided to use a higher concentrate of the AGGRAND Fertilizer and AGGRAND Liquid Lime, because he knew he was only going to be able to fertilizer once. Using a 200-gallon spray tank mixed with water and 4 gallons of AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer and 4 gallons of Natural Liquid Lime he fertilized the 5 acres of corn. He only fertilized once. The corn never stopped growing. “will finish”

People are looking for natural alternatives that work and will protect the environment, protect their children and their health. The natural movement is just starting to explode. The best thing to sell is what people are already looking for. I’m selling what people are buying. Whether they are homeowners with lawns and gardens or farmers with fields they all want similar things.

Farmers want higher yields, better quality plants with better tasting fruits and vegetables. People are seeking natural products that are safe for kids and animals and good for the environment.

Cost savings, AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers are considerably less expensive than chemical fertilizers.

Convenience, AGGRAND Natural Liquid Fertilizers are easy to apply with a hose-end sprayer or spray rig.

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.

AMSOIL Diesel Recovery (DRC) is an emergency diesel fuel additive that quickly dissolves the wax crystals that form when diesel fuel has surpassed its cloud point. It liquefies gelled diesel fuel and thaws frozen fuel filters, avoiding costly towing charges and getting diesel vehicles back on the road. Diesel fuel quality varies from one filling station to the next, and low-quality fuel can have a cloud point as high as 4.4c (40f), making Diesel Recovery a necessity for diesel operators in cold-weather climates.

One traditional solution to cold-weather problems in diesel engines is the use of #1 diesel fuel, which is diesel fuel diluted with kerosene. While #1 diesel fuel has an advantage in low-temperature operability, there are also several disadvantages. The energy content of #1 diesel fuel is about 95 percent of #2 diesel fuel, resulting in reduced fuel economy and less horsepower. In addition, the kerosene used in #1 diesel fuel provides less lubrication for the fuel pump and fuel distributor, increasing the likelihood for wear on these critcal components.

In order to test the performance capabilities of AMSOIL Diesel Recovery, AMSOIL commissioned an independent laboratory to perform an evaluation. Three types of diesel fuel were used in the testing , including ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD), B2 biodiesel and B5 biodiesel. Three samples of each fuel-type were tested: one treated with AMSOIL Diesel Recovery, one treated with Power Service Diesel 911 and one untreated sample. Diesel Recovery was adminstered at the recommended treat rate of 30.oz per 30 gallons of fuel. The treat rate for Diesel 911 varies according to package size; Power Service maximum recommended dosage of 32.oz per 30 gallons of fuel was used in this evaluation.

Results of the diesel fuel additives, AMSOIL Diesel Recovery delivers superior performance. In ULSD, Diesel Recovery reduced the fuel’s pour point by 27C and the cold filter-plugging point (CFPP) by 17C. Diesel 911, on the other hand, only reduced the pour point of ULSD by 10.5C and actually increased the fuel’s CFPP by .5C.

In B2 biodiesel, AMSOIL Diesel Recovery reduced the fuel’s pour point 9C and reduced the CFPP 19.75C; while Diesel 911 increased the fuel’s pour point 5.25C and reduced the CFPP only 6C. Diesel Recovery reduced the pour point of B5 biodiesel 24C and reduced the CFPP 16C. Diesel 911 reduced the pour point of B5 18C and again increased the CFPP 1.75C.

There has been a recent trend toward use of transmission fluid flushing system in the automatic transmission service industry in lieu of traditional transmission service methods. These systems are used to pump the old fluid out of the transmission and to refill with fresh fluid. The problem, however, is that often times it is mistakenly thought that this represents a complete transmission service, when its not.

75% of all transmission filters today are not a screen, they are made of felt. They cannot be cleaned. The filter must be replaced. Clogged filters restrict fluid flow, which lowers pressure to clutches and bands, which will eventual burnout the transmission.
