NPK: 4-4-0.5. High in nitrogen and phosphorous, MPM is a one-stop-liquid-shop for all your foliar and fertigation needs throughout the growing season. Contains fish hydrolysate (stabilized with phosphoric acid), kelp extract, humic and fulvic acids, and a dash of chilean nitrate to boost the nitrogen levels for rapid vegetative growth. Fulvic acid, an essential part of soil organic structure, has been found to promote greater root development, yielding stronger, more disease-resistant plants. Contains high levels of available calcium; when used in orchards, MPM has been shown to decrease incidence of bitter pit in Honeycrisp apples by 40-60%.
Dilute 2–4 oz per gal of water for fertigation, or 2 oz/gal for foliar feeding; apply monthly in conjunction with EM-1 for best results. To keep the beneficial microbes happy, apply less fertilizer more often rather than more fertilizer less often. Avoid foliar applications in the heat of the day. Do not store dilution.
