Frequently Asked Questions
Is KickStarter a complicated mix that will impede my seeding process?
No. KickStarter is an all-in-one liquid starter fertilizer that is ready to use with any standard seeding equipment that has a liquid kit. Use rates of 5-10 gal/ac should be used for ideal in-field performance. Adding at least 0.5 gallons of water for every 5 gallons of KickStarter will help ensure optimal consistency in application.
Why does soil pH matter to phosphorus?
In soil pH levels under 6.0, phosphorus gets tied up by aluminum and iron. In soil pH levels above 8.0, phosphorus ties up with calcium. With the power of M-Struct, KickStarter keeps phosphorus more plant-available.
How does phosphorus impact my wheat crop?
Wheat is highly responsive to phosphorus inputs, particularly in the fall and early season when phosphorus demands are up to 1 lb/day. Early season phosphorus deficiency can slow root and shoot growth which reduces tillering and plant development and leads to increased susceptibility to stresses in winter and spring. Healthy roots build healthy stands that produce more tillers and heads.
Does KickStarter need added zinc?
No! KickStarter has an ideal P:Zn ratio for maximum efficiency.
