Fruit Trees
Apple, Peach, Pear and Cherry Trees

"Utilizing Monty's products and program on Fruit trees produces stronger, healthier trees with higher yields and the added benefit of soil enhancement for future crops".

Monty's Soil Conditioner Applications based on need:
After soil testing, apply 64 to 128 ounces per acre in a suggested 15 to 20 gallons of water, focusing on areas around tree, from drip line in.

When Starting From Seed:
Pre-treat seed by soaking or spraying with a Monty's/Water dilution of 8 to 16 ounces of Monty's 4-15-12 Green Label per 100 gallons of water. You can also drench the medium in which the seeds are being started. This would be the same dilution rate as previously mentioned.

Benefits:

    • Earlier root system vigor producing increased root surfaces
    • Improves root penetration and moisture extraction
    • New growth improvement
    • Improved resistance to chemicals and insect stress

First and Follow-Up Applications:
16 to 24 ounces of Monty's 8-16-8 Yellow Label per acre in a suggested 15 to 20 gallons of water. This application should be incorporated routinely into herbicidal, fungicidal, and pesticide spray programs. (See Monty's / Herbicide Application Recommendations)

These applications should be followed from early spring through flowering stage.

Monty's Plant Food is a liquid fertilizer that is recommended as a supplement to your current fertilizer program. It is best applied to the seed or plant directly. Monty's is not recommended to replace the nutrients typically added to the soil. We suggest taking a soil sample and having a qualified independent lab analyze the samples to determine the nutrient levels in your soils and then follow recommended applications to ensure proper nutritional levels.

Monty's products are designed specifically for fertility enhancement purposes. When mixing with other farm chemicals it is suggested to tank mix Monty's only after diluting the pesticide according to label directions. When tank mixing any Monty's products with other farm chemicals, always read and follow the label directions of the pesticide you are considering.

Monty's fertility products are compatible with many farm chemicals and may improve the efficacy of some pesticide applications but Monty's does not guarantee it to do so. Monty's suggests administering a jar test and a strip test before applying Monty's as a tank mix. Knowing the chemical’s mode of action (blocks photosynthesis) or metal content (copper based) will help determine the compatibility with Monty's. Please call 1-800-978-6342 with any questions.

Monty's fertility products are recommended at a rate of 16-24 oz. per acre in a minimum of 15 gallons of water. For specific application directions or information regarding irrigated crops, see your local dealer or call 800-978-6342
