2. You Need to Know That: Nitro/Max is: A non-toxic,
non-petroleum based liquidconcentrate designed to increase the
natural nitrogencycle in the soil. It makes more efficient use of
residual and appliednitrogen. Stimulates plant growth, production,
and rootdevelopment. Increases plant sugar/protein content.
Promotes earlier maturation 3. Nitro/Max works best with theentire
J&J Soil ManagementSystem but will still do its jobalone. We
recommend that Nitro/Maxbe applied several timesthroughout the
entire processof the growing season. This being once before you
haveplanted, once as a seedinoculant, once as a foliar spray,and
once again after harvest. 4. NEW FIELD / FIRST APPLICATIONWe
recommend applying a mixture ofNitro/Max and J&J Soil
Conditioner to a new field because it helps aid the breakdown of
crop residues and to restart the nitrogen cycle. 5. MAKING THE
SOLUTION When using Nitro/Max for the first time on a new
fieldshould be applied at the rate of 12.8 ounces per acre ofland.
To make the mixture for one acre of land measure out: 12.8 ounces
of Nitro/Max 4 ounces of J&J Soil Conditioner 10 gallons of
water Be sure to always add J&J Soil Conditioner LAST
whenmixing to avoid foaming. When applying solution to more than
one acre of landtake the same mixture and multiply it by how many
acresyou will apply the solution to. 6. CLEANING YOUR SPRAYER To
clean your sprayer before the use ofNitro/Max use a solution of 1
quart householdammonia to 50 gallons of water. For smaller personal
use sprayers apply thesame ratio of 1 part ammonia to 200
partswater. For example a 5 gallon sprayer would require amixture
of 3 ounces of ammonia to 5 gallonsof water. Be sure to flush
solution through entiresprayer system and not just the tank to
ensurethat any remaining substances from prior useare removed. Also
be sure to flush the sprayer system withclean water after the
ammonia solution toremove any remaining ammonia in the sprayer. 7.
APPLYING THE SOLUTION Once solution has been properly mixed you are
ready to apply itto your field. Lightly incorporate the solution
with the soil in dry, conditions tohelp keep it in the top three
inches of the soil. DO NOT incorporate with plowing. If stubble is
heavy it is recommended but not required that youadd about 2-5
gallons of 28% Liquid Nitrogen per acre with theNitro/Max
application. For maximum effectiveness crop residue should be
broken downand in contact with soil or worked into the soil (by
mowing,flailing, disking, or chisel plowing.) 8. Seed Inoculation
Nitro/Max is not only a soil supplement but can also beused as a
seed inoculant. When Nitro/Max is used in this manner it has
beenproven to break seed dormancy and also substantiallyincrease
the rate of germination. 9. Making the Solution To make the seed
inoculation solution, mixNitro/Max with clean water at a ratio of
1part Nitro/Max to 20 parts water. The amount of solution will vary
with theamount of seeds being treated but werecommend using 16
ounces of dilutedsolution to treat 3-4 bushel of seed. If less seed
is needed apply the dilutedsolution at a rate of 4 ounces per bag
ofseed. 10. Applying Solution to the Seeds When applying the
solution to the seeds lightly dampen ormist all seeds just prior to
planting. DO NOT SOAK The solution can be applied in a planter box
or while beingpoured from a bag or wagon into a planter hopper,
this is to bedone at the point of entry in a drill fill or when
being augeredinto a truck. If slightly moist and in danger of
bridging inside the planter,allow the seeds to sit a few minutes to
absorb the solutionfully. Be sure to protect the seeds from direct
sunlight and plantwithin 8 hours after the solution has been
applied. 11. FOLIAR APPLICATIONNow your field has been prepared,
seeds, inoculated, andsprouts on their way to maturity, it is time
to apply Nitro/Max in a foliar spray to your crop. 12. MAKING THE

the chart below: Field CropsTime of Application Wheat, Barley,
OatsEarly spring at first green up prior to stooling. Corn 6-10
inches high. Soybeans 4 inches high first blossom. Sunflowers 6-15
inches high. Sorghum, Milo4-12 inches high. Tobacco2 weeks after
planting and rate at 24 inches high. PeanutsPrior to pegging.
Cotton Early squaring. Potatoes 4-6 inches high. Sugar Cane 4-36
inches high. Sugar Beats4-10 inches high. Alfalfa, Hay Early spring
at first green up and rate after second cutting. PastureFull rate
in early spring and rate at mid-season and fall. Foliar Spraying
should be done in the evening or early morning when the plant
stomata are open. AVOID FOLIAR SPRAYING IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY. 15.
FALL / PRE-SEASON APPLICATION Fall / pre-season application is to
be done after harvestto restart the nitrogen cycle and breakdown of
cropresidues for the next growing season. To make solution and
apply, follow the exact same stepsas in new field treatment. 16.
