APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Test Your Soil

Maximum economic yield begins with a soil test to determine key soil nutrients your crops need. Your own experience, combined with soil testing is the first step to achieving a high yielding, high quality crop. Regular soil testing and the use of the appropriate Rainbow Plant Food grades will help you achieve complete nutritional balance for your crops.

Cotton

Cotton demands high levels of nutrients, particularly as management intensifies. With this in mind, balanced fertilization is critical, and the balanced nutrition in Rainbow helps farmers grow the best cotton possible.

Rainbow is the premium fertilizer choice for high-value crops such as cotton. When high yields and quality are critical, growers depend on the essential nutrients in Rainbow to produce a healthy and bountiful crop. Inside its tiny granular shell, the product contains magnesium, manganese, boron and sulfur. The key ingredients to a healthy and high yielding cotton crop.

A Balanced Diet:

High-yielding cotton requires large amounts of various nutrients to stimulate root growth and produce strong stalks. Every granule of Rainbow fertilizers supplies the perfect balance of nutrients.

Readily Available Nutrients:

Nutrients in Rainbow fertilizers are in an available form, so they can move quickly to the cotton roots in time to promote healthy, hearty crops.

Application Recommendation:

There are certain variables you’ll want to consider before applying Rainbow Plant Food to feed your crops. It’s important to know what is already in your soil prior to deciding on additional nutrients. Soil testing is the first step to understanding what your crops need. Knowing what is in your soil will help to avoid over-application of any nutrient, and subsequently avoid a toxicity problem that could negatively impact your yields.

Geographic location plays a big role in soil type and will impact when the ideal time is for you to apply.

Traditional row crop types will generally only need one application of Rainbow Plant Food. In general, we recommend applying Rainbow Plant Food five to seven days before planting for most row crop types. If you miss the pre-plant window, apply right after planting. Waiting any longer than this may result in loss of yield, as your plant will be searching for its missing nutrients, putting it in a stressed state.

Talk to your local retailer or local extension office for specific recommendations.
