| EARLY GROWTH
STAGE |
Foliar application:Mix and apply Citishooter(2ml\lt),30ml\15lt or 200ml\100lt with Humiphos(2ml\lt),40ml\15lt or 270ml\100lt also add Citiactivator (1 Tab\15lt) or Citiactivator SC (15ml\15lt).

| TOP DRESSING | Ground application:Mix 10kg Citishooter granules with 50kg appropriate Top dressing fertilizer,apply mixture at normal rate |
| BULB FORMATION 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).
Citishooter and Mastergro ensure increase in the photosynthetic surface area forming more and larger leaves ensuring the plants has sufficient capacity to manufacture food,for compact bulb formation. Carry out weekly sprays during this period |
| BULB EXPANSION STAGE | Ground application:Mix 10kg Citishooter granules with 50kg appropriate Top dressing fertilizer,apply mixture at normal rate.
Foliar application: Mix and apply Mastergro High K (2ml\lt), 40ml\20lt or 200ml\100lt) with Citiactivator (1 Tab\15lt),or Citiactivator SC (15ml\15lt).
