Acadian Benefits

The complex mix of compounds present in Acadian produces a wide variety of beneficial plant responses.

Acadian improves plant establishment, root structure and mass, which leads to improved plant establishment and facilitates greater uptake of water and nutrients.
Containing natural chelators (which bind to micronutrients), Acadian improves the bioavailability and transport of nutrients within the plant.
By increasing chlorophyll production within the plant, Acadian improves photosynthesis for greater plant productivity.
Acadian activates antioxidant production and increases water retention, which reduces the impact of environmental stresses including drought, salinity, heat, and chill.
Acadian helps plants produce energy, and its components act as precursors that encourage plants to produce new active compounds that in turn boost crop quality and yield.
Increases fruit and vegetable quality and uniformity, with better sizing, reduced culls, delayed senescence, higher brix, and increased shelf life
Acadian is an easy-to-use water-soluble liquid formulation for in-tank compatibility with most crop nutrition, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. Always read and follow the label directions.

*For crop specific usage rates and timing, please see the label

Application Method: Rooting/Transplant Solutions

Application Method: Prior to or at transplanting, treat roots with a solution of Acadian at the rate of 0.1-0.7% solution

Notes: After transplant application switch to a soil or drench program

Application Method: Drench

Application Method: Apply soil drench using dilution of 0.45 ounces per gallon

Notes: Applications can be made at 2-4 week intervals throughout the growing season

Application Method: Soil

Application Method: Soil applied treatments can be made by mixing with soil-applied fertility, directed sprays to the soil, sidedress treatments, applications through irrigation systems

Notes: Applications can be made at 2-4 week intervals throughout the growing season. Avoid heavy irrigations following application

Application Method: Foliar

Application Method: Foliar spray should be applied as a fine mist, with low fluid velocity until the foliage is wet. See label crop specific application timings.

Notes:

Do not apply in rain, high winds, or extreme temperature conditions
Apply during the cool part of the day or when temperatures are <85 degrees Fahrenheit
Do not spray just before or after rainfall or sprinkler irrigation
Use a surfactant for maximum dispersal and leaf adherence

Application Method: Late Season & Post Harvest

Application Method: An excellent way to encourage root growth and prepare perennial crops for next season’s early growth

Notes: Soil or foliar application. Applications can be made at 2-4 week intervals

* Acadian is compatible with many pesticides and nutrients. Always read and follow label directions and conduct a jar test for a new blend.
