A UNIQUE FORMULA BLENDED FROM
THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS
-
CALCIUM - A 12% source of soluble
organic calcium that is readily available for plant uptake and as an exchange
agent in soils.
-
HUMIC/FULVIC ACIDS - A base
of bio-active organic compounds derived from naturally occurring peat humus
sources.
N-hance is a specialized formula designed
to accomplish several goals. First N-hance will inhibit the breakdown of
soluble Urea, slowing down the nitrogen conversion to more plant available
forms of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen. Using N-hance with inexpensive forms
of Urea provides a stable and slow release nitrogen source, allowing for
better control and cost savings. Secondly, N-hance contains 12% Calcium,
an essential nutrient in building cell walls and allowing the plant to
build natural disease resistance. This calcium will not only foliar feed
plants but also help to work as a catalyst, drawing calcium out of the
soil for plant use. N-hance is formulated in a base of Humic and Fulvic
Acids, which will further enhance the product's effectiveness and provide
soil conditioning properties including a better release of available nutrients.
The breakdown of Urea occurs with
the help of the Urease enzyme. N-hance has the ability to interact with
this enzyme and create a situation where the Urea does not volatilize as
quickly, allowing soil micro-organisms to break down the nitrogen into
plant-usable forms. Typically Urea loses as much as 60% of its effective
nitrogen as ammonia (NH3) which escapes as a gas. N-hance will significantly
reduce this conversion of Urea to ammonia gas, saving product and money.
N-hance also provides available
calcium, as a foliar feed, directly to plants and promotes the uptake of
calcium from the soil. Calcium is used by plants in very large amounts.
Often calcium mobility is restricted by the soil. Improved levels of calcium
in the cell wall will inhibit various enzymes produced by parasitic fungi
as they invade the plant, causing disease problems. The use of N-hance
will help suppress fungal attack.
Another significant advantage of
N-hance is its ability to remove sodium (Na) from the soil. High levels
of sodium salts can build up in soils from a variety of sources, creating
an unfavorable environment for beneficial microbes, and providing an opening
for pathogenic organisms. N-hance effectively replaces the sodium ion form
the soil colloid with calcium; therefore, the sodium will begin leaching
from the soil.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
TURF MAINTENANCE: Nitrogen
Stabilization - Mix with urea at a rate of 4 oz per every ½ pound
N. Apply the mixture consistent with normal nitrogen applications practices.
Calcium Application - Apply
4-8 oz/1000 sq ft in 2-3 gallons of water every 6-8 weeks. On calcium deficient
soils apply 8 oz/1000 sq ft every 6 weeks during the growing season.
Sodium Removal - Drench
the soil with a solution of 8-16 oz/1000 sq ft. Repeat every 4 weeks until
problem subsides, then follow calcium rates. Through an irrigation system,
apply at a rate of 10 gallons per acre inch of water. DO NOT exceed more
than 120 gallons per acre per year.
GREENS & TEES: For standard
calcium use on sand greens & tees, apply 6 oz/1000 sq ft every 30 days.
On soil greens apply 4-6 oz/1000 sq ft every 60 days. For nitrogen stabilization,
use 4 oz per every ½ pound of N.
LANDSCAPE USE: Add 4-6 oz
in 2 gallons of water and use as a drench or a foliar feed every 6-8 weeks.
***Avoid mixing with phosphorous
or sulfur containing materials as precipitation may occur.
