General guideline on nutrition schedules

ACTIVITY Application
PLANTING Ground application: Mix 10kg Humiphos granules with 50kg appropriate Planting fertilizer. Ratio is 1:5. Apply mixture with normal rates. For mechanised farms pour mixture in the fertilizer hopper, calibrate and apply.
TILLERING STAGE Foliar application:Mix and apply Citishooter(2ml\lt),30ml\15lt or 200ml\100lt with Mastergro (2ml\lt),30ml\15lt or 200ml\100lt, also add Citiactivator (1 Tab\15lt) or Citiactivator SC (15ml\15lt).

A repeat application maybe necessary based on soil/leaf analysis. If not an extra singular application of Citishooter (2ml\lt), is critical to enhance massive generation of healthy tillers significantly increasing production. Production is determined at this stage; therefore, this Citishooter application is highly recommended.
BEFORE TOP DRESSING Foliar application: Mix and apply Citicop SC (2ml\lt),30ml\15lt or 200ml\100lt with Citiactivator (1 Tab\15lt) or Citiactivator SC (15ml\15lt). A repeat application maybe necessary based on soil/leaf analysis
TOP DRESSING Ground application: Mix 10kg Citishooter granules with 50kg appropriate Top-dressing fertilizer. Ratio is 1:5. Apply with normal rates per plant. For mechanised farms pour mixture in the fertilizer hopper, calibrate and apply.
BOOTING STAGE Foliar application: Mix and apply Citishooter(2ml\lt),30ml\15lt or 200ml\100lt with Mastergro High K (5ml\lt),75ml\15lt or 500ml\100lt, also add Citiactivator (1Tab\15lt) or Citiactivator SC (15ml\15lt).

Wheat needs adequate moisture during its growth. There are three periods when moisture is absolutely essential and drought would be the most devastating, germination, booting stage and grain filling stage. With climate change and unpredictable weather, it is impossible to guarantee adequate rain during the growing cycle especially the distribution of rain during these critical stages. More often we find rains are adequate only at the beginning of the season. Thereafter are longer dry periods, hence poor soil moisture levels leading to depressed growth hence productivity. Therefore, the question is how do we conserve soil moisture from the beginning of the season. Through research and experience we advocate for accelerated growth after germination all the way to booting stage to ensure the wheat crop makes its own natural mulch from its foliage canopy and covers the soil more than 90%.This creates a favorable micro climate below the canopy and more importantly significantly improve soil water retention. Our aggressive nutritional program from early growth to booting stage is critical to achieve this.

Crop stress significantly contributes to poor establishment. Our product Citishooter an organic hormone addresses this and ensures the crop has good stress tolerance and vitality. Crops under stress close their stomata to conserve moisture reducing photosynthesis resulting in poor establishment.

Plant efficiency means crops maximize utilization of fertilizer and water enabling good establishment. The cells are turgid, have cool leaves and transportation of dissolved minerals around the plant is at its best. Citishooter stimulates high plant efficiency ensuring that all growth processes metabolic and physiological growth processes occur at the right time and at a very high efficiency. Planting and Top-dressing fertilizers are not sufficient, we must ensure the crop has High stress tolerance and High plant efficiency by applying Citishooter and deliberately follow a nutrition program.

Also carry out good Weed, Pest and Disease management to compliment this nutritional program to ensure high productivity of your crop.
