Yes, if no major soil deficiencies are encountered, Liquinox can economically take care of your entire fertilizer requirements. More and more growers are proving this to their own satisfaction each year.

 

Is Liquinox a soil and water conditioner?

Yes, Liquinox can qualify on that basis alone if only the properties of pH reduction, water penetration, and soil flocculation are considered.
However, it is also a complete fertilizer, is so labeled and so registered with the California State Department of Agriculture.


Remember- you cannot grow crops with a so-called “conditioner,” but you can condition your soil and grow crops with Liquinox.

Will Liquinox loosen heavy soil?

Yes, Liquinox has a definite effect of loosening (flocculating) heavy tight soils.
This is sometimes observed after one application, but regularity in using Liquinox will best maintain this soil benefit.

 

Will Liquinox increase water penetration?

Yes, one of the unusual features of Liquinox is its ability to “open up” the soil and permit better penetration of irrigation water. This is of particular benefit in heavy or “tight” soils or where plow sole is encountered. In light loam or sandy soils the “wetting” action of Liquinox increases the lateral subbing of water

 

Will Liquinox kill soil worms?

Definitely not. In no case has the proper use of Liquinox ever damaged any irrigation system.

 

How much Liquinox shall I apply?

That will also depend on previous fertilization, soil condition and the particular crop requirements. In general, annual row and field crops should have a minimum of two applications. Crops such as strawberries, tomatoes, snap beans, etc… that are harvested over a long period, produce best when fertilized periodically throughout the picking season. Shallow rooted crops should be fertilized periodically with light applications, while deep rooted trees and vines respond best to applications of 10-gallons per acre, at least twice a year.

 

When do I apply Liquinox?

Liquinox may be applied at any time crops are irrigated, but should not be applied before the plants have an established root system. Liquinox may be applied before planting where pre-planting fertilization is custom.

 

Do you make soil tests?

No, we prefer to have soil tests made by independent and competent soil scientists. We believe that scientific soil analysis and interpretation can be of real assistance in determining a fertilizer program. We appreciate the help of a competent agricultural chemist. We do not try to do this job.

 

Is Liquinox economical?

Yes. On a return per dollar investment basis, Liquinox has proven to be one of the most economical fertilizers available. To get a true cost of fertilizers, don’t consider the price per gallon only, but what that gallon will produce.
