WHAT IS PLOTSTART™?
PlotStart™ is a calcium-based spray for use on food plots, crops, vegetables, trees, and lawns. Developed by an American company that is a 30-year veteran of the agricultural industry, PlotStart™ provides instantly soluble and available calcium PLUS a unique mix of complex carbohydrates, amino acids, and micronutrients NOT found in traditional fertilizers allow your plantings to explode from seed to plant, and begin to grow at full potential. MADE IN THE U.S.A., PlotStart™ targets the soil providing the most beneficial growing environment possible.
Just spray at or before planting, and PlotStart will instantly begin improving the growing environment for your planting!
NO MORE THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF AG LIME PER ACRE! What is desired from lime is calcium, so why not apply STRAIGHT CALCIUM to your plantings?! One 2.5 gallon bottle can give the effect of 1 Ton of Lime.
PlotStart™ will enhance your food plots and plantings by:
- LIME EQUIVALENCY RATE: 2.5 GALLONS = 1 TON OF LIME
- ADJUSTS SOIL HEALTH BIOLOGICALLY AND CHEMICALLY, FASTER THAN AG LIME
- INCREASES PLANT GERMINATION
- INCREASES NUTRIENT (NPK) AVAILABILITY FOR PLANTS
- INCREASES CALCIUM FOR SEEDLINGS
HOW TO USE PLOTSTART™
STEP 1: HOW MUCH PLOTSTART?
2.5 Gallons of PlotStart™ = 1 Ton of Lime Per Acre. If your soil pH is 4.5-5.5 use 5 gallons of PlotStart™ per acre (equivalent to 2 tons of lime per acre). Use a max of 2 jugs (5 gallons PlotStart™per acre) if the soil is acidic (4.5-5 pH) or spray 5 gallons of PlotStart™ per acre in the spring, then again in the fall for the fall planting totaling 10 gallons per acre over the course of 12 months.
STEP 2: MIX RATE
PlotStart™ must be mixed with water to evenly distribute it over the intended acreage. For most applications, 10-15 gallons of water is needed to apply PlotStart™ over a single acre. PlotStart™ is NOT applied in an oz/gallon of water ratio like herbicides, rather it is a per acre application. Simply mix enough water to evenly distribute the 2.5 gallons or 5 gallons (depending on pH) over the correct amount of acreage. PlotStart can be. Mixed directly with nitrogen solutions, and soil-applied herbicides. PlotStart™ CANNOT BE APPLIED WITH ROUND-UP® or GLYPHOSATE.
EXAMPLE: If you have a 25 gallon ATV sprayer, you will likely be able to evenly spray 2 acres. Fill the tank with 2.5 gallons per acre of PlotStart™ for soils 5.5 -7 in pH, or 5 gallons per acre for soils more acidic than 5.5. for a 2-acre food plot with a soil pH of 6.0, you would fill the tank with 2 x 2.5-gallon jugs (2.5 gallons per acre) then fill the rest of the tank up with water.
STEP 3: SPRAY
Once you have evenly distributed the correct amount of PlotStart™ per acre you are done! The effective formula of PlotStart™ will do the rest. It is suggested to follow up with PlotBoost™ after the food plot reaches full ground coverage (3-5 weeks) or when directly in the tank with your first round of post-emergent herbicide.
