Acadian

• ACADIAN® Powder is exclusively extracted from freshly harvested marine plants from the cold, clean North Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Consistent use of ACADIAN® extract supplements a well balanced crop nutrition program, and is proven to increase desirable yield, improve overall plant health, enhance nutrient levels, improve root growth and early development as well as maximize natural plant resistance to stresses like drought, salinity and temperature. To achieve the desired results, the levels of major and minor nutrients must be adequate to support the increase in production. The following timing and rates of application are recommended for maximum efficacy.

• Compatibility: ACADIAN® Powder is compatible with most insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers. Some pH adjustments may be required with acidic mixtures. Add surfactants after the product has completely dissolved in the tank solution. When mixing with calcium products, thoroughly mix ACADIAN® Powder with the water in the tank prior to adding the calcium product. If interaction of chemicals is unknown, a "jar" compatibility test is recommended.

• Storage and Handling: This product contains a natural preservative but should be stored away from intense sunlight and heat. Avoid spillage as product is very slippery and may create a hazard.

• Directions for Use: ACADIAN® Powder is water-soluble and is suitable for use in liquid foliar, soil applied, and irrigation water applications.

• Foliar Applications: Fill half the spray tank with water, begin agitating and gradually add recommended amount of ACADIAN® Powder with remainder of water and spray solution. Use enough water for good spray coverage. The foliar spray should be applied as a fine mist, with low fluid velocity until the foliage is wet. Do not foliar-apply during times of moisture or heat stress. For best results apply during the cool part of the day or when temperatures are below 85 degrees F. Do not spray just before or after rainfall or sprinkler irrigation. Use a surfactant for maximum dispersal and leaf adherence.

• Soil applications: Soil applied treatments can be made by mixing with soil-applied fertility, directed sprays to the soil, sidedress treatments, applications through the irrigation systems or other methods which effectively apply ACADIAN® Powder to the soil. When making irrigation treatments dilute 1 part ACADIAN® Powder with at least 5 parts water before adding to the supply tank. Continuous agitation of the supply tank is recommended. ACADIAN® Powder can be applied through drip, microject, sprinkle, overhead, furrow, flood and other types of irrigation at the suggested rates. For micro sprinkler, solid set or drip irrigation, apply after the system is fully pressurized. Inject for at least one hour following with clean water for at least two hours to clear system of all product. Avoid heavy irrigation following application that may leach material beyond the root system of the crop.

• Rooting/Transplant Solution: To encourage root growth of new transplants, treat roots with a solution of ACADIAN® Powder at the rate of 0.6 to 1.5 dry ounces per 20 gallons of water prior to transplanting.

• Post Harvest Application: ACADIAN® Powder is an excellent way to stimulate root growth and prepare perennial crops for next season’s early growth. Apply to the soil or foliar using above methods.

ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE MADE IMMEDIATELY PRIOR OR FOLLOWING STRESS PERIODS SUCH AS CHILL OR DROUGHT.
