MALT BARLEY

This malt barley program is intended for informational use only. For the best possible results tailored to meet your needs and soil type, check with your DGC representative for specific recommendations.

Ground Application/Pre-Plant

(30 days before planting)

Normal Soil:

32 oz. AIM per acre (2.5 L/Ha)

​

*Alkali/Sodium Soil:

32 oz. RECLAIM per acre

(2.5 L/Ha)

​

GOAL:

Aid in air and water exchange.

​

REASON:

AIM water management tools assist in air and water exchange which is critical in stimulating microorganisms in preparation for planting. RECLAIM also detoxifies and flushes harmful effects of sodium or carryover herbicides.

​

NOTE: *For pH higher than 6.8 and/or high sodium content use RECLAIM. Also good for chemically damaged fields.

​

​

At Planting

16 - 32 oz. per acre (1.25 - 2.5 L/Ha) SEED TREATMENT immediately after planting or 5 oz. per 100 lbs. (150 mL / 45 kg) if applying directly to seed

​

GOAL:

Stimulate germination of seed and protection.
 

REASON:

Stimulates the beneficial bacteria and fungi that protects the seedling from soil related diseases thus increasing germination.

​

​

Boot Stage

32 oz. MICROPLUS per acre (2.5 L/Ha) foliar applied with post-emergent herbicide and foliar nutrient program

​

GOAL:

Aids in plant health and head development.

​

REASON:

Stimulate overall health of plant from disease potential and insects. Reduce stress from herbicide application.

​

​

Herbicide Spray Program

Apply 16 fl. oz. phLAME per 100 gallon tank mix with contact herbicides (0.5 L per 375 L).

​

Fungicide Spray Program

Apply 16 to 32 fl. oz. SS 9 per 100 gallon tank mix with fungicides (0.5 - 1 L per 375 L).

​

Insecticide Spray Program

Apply 5 to 10 oz SPREADER STICKER per 100 gallon tank mix with insecticides (150 - 300 mL per 375 L).

NOTE ABOUT SPRAYING

We strongly recommend using an adjuvant with your spray program. Specialty surfactants (SS 9, SPREADER STICKER, phLAME) have proven cost effective with spray applications of chemicals (fungicides, herbicides, pesticides) to allow lowest label rates with better results. The synergy can add potency and extend the chemical life and have allowed some growers to experiment and get exceptional results with well under label rates.
