Emerald Isle True Foliar Silica (3-0-10 with soluble silica) represents the new industry standard for organic-based, foliar nutrition for turf. Foliar Silica is specifically designed for plant feeding efficiency, using proprietary chelation methods and the most advanced formulation technology currently available. This product is a balanced nitrogen/potassium/silica plant food that provides the most desirable forms of these essential nutrients. Foliar Silica features the unique Emerald Isle "Multiple Release Formats"™ technology, making it the top performer for absorption, translocation, and utilization by the plant.

In addition to strengthening the rigidity of the blade and promoting upright growth and truer ball roll, recent research shows that silica improves stress tolerance and disease resistance,particularly to soil-borne pathogens.

Emerald IsleTrue Foliar Silica is a "Professional Use" product designed to offer turf professionals the most advanced, organic-based foliar turf nutrients available. Primary nutrients are derived from multiple sources to provide consistent, sustained feeding of turfgrass plants. Foliar Silica features two different types of nitrogen, and multiple forms of potassium that are unique to Emerald Isle products. Nutrients are derived from preferred sources, combined in ideal ratios, and chelated or complexed with a proprietary combination of sequestrants that include organic acids, amino acids, and sugar acid chelates as well as other facilitators. In addition to the unique nutrient formulation technology, Emerald Isle Nutri-Rational Foliar Silica also contains a generous portion of specially derived seaplant extract, which provides vitamins, amino acids, cytokinins, and other proprietary biostimulants.

Usage Guide

General Considerations: Fertilizer grades should be selected from the Emerald Isle Nutri-Rational Foliar line based on soil / tissue analysis and your own agronomic goals. Rates will vary, based on the same criteria. Apply Emerald Isle Nutri-Rational Foliars in the early morning or late afternoon for best results, and use a spray adjuvant for superior coverage. Emerald Isle Foliar Silica is a high pH product, and must not be mixed with acidic materials. All tank-mix recipes should be jar-tested for compatibility prior to batch mixing.

Warm Season Grasses: Apply 4-8 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. Applications may be repeated every 7-14 days, as needed to reduce stress, increase turgidity, and improve playability on sports turf. Deficiencies may be corrected by doubling the normal rate per application. Use higher rate for fariway applications.

Cool Season Grasses: Apply 2-3 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. Applications may be repeated every 7-14 days, as needed to reduce stress, increase turgidity, and improve playability on sports turf. Deficiencies may be corrected by doubling the normal rate per application. Use higher rate for fariway applications.

Mixing and Application: Apply Emerald Isle Nutri-Rational Foliar Silica in a minimum of 2.0 gallons of water carrier per 1,000 sq. ft. Fill mix tank with half of required spray water, and turn on agitation. Measure Emerald Isle Nutri-Rational Foliar product into tank, and add remaining water and other compatible, soluble materials. Allow foliar product to dry on plant prior to irrigation.

Product Handling Guidelines

Storage and use: Store Emerald Isle Nutri-Rational Foliars in original containers at temperatures between 50^oF and 90^oF. Mix Emerald Isle Foliars with other compatible materials only at time of application and in exact amounts required. To avoid contamination, do not return previously mixed product to its original container. Use all product within 12 months of original purchase date.
