FOR POST-HARVEST APPLICATION TO CONTROL BOTRYOSPHAERIA,
PHYTOPHTHORA AND TO SUPPORT BUDWOOD MATURATION.
POST HARVEST APPLICATIONS CAN BE PARAMOUNT TO A SUCCESSFUL CROP
IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. The use of K-PHITE 7LP Systemic
Fungicide/Bactericide, in combination with SIZER 4-20-22 Urea, Di
Potassium Poly Phosphate, is research-proven to support healthier and more
vigorous spring growth and considerably stronger bloom set when
compared to other programs.
K-PHITE 7LP is the only fully systemic material to have been rated for the
treatment of Botryosphaeria by the University of California. Of the top rated materials for
Botryosphaeria, K-PHITE 7LP is the only one that has the ability to provide excellent control of
Phytophthora. K-PHITE 7LP is classified as a FRAC 33 with regards to resistance, giving it one of the higher
ratings in the industry. As a patented linear polymer molecule, other marketers may claim to be equivalent
to K-PHITE 7LP, but they simply are not.
SIZER 4-20-22 is a foliar nutrient with one of the highest solubilities among P-K fertilizers, five times that
of mono-potassium phosphate or potassium nitrate, and the efficiency of nutrient uptake is directly
correlated to solubility. By effectively placing both P and K into the tree system, SIZER 4-20-22 supports
the maturation of the trees’ budwood, resulting in a stronger, more receptive bloom in the spring. And
everyone knows that immature green whips produce weak, if any blossoms.
Rates of 3 quarts/acre of K-PHITE 7LP combined with 4 quarts/acre of SIZER 4-20-22 applied twice during
the post-harvest period have been proven to dramatically improve the strength of bloom along with
providing control of both Botryosphaeria and Phytophthora in a low cost combination.
