Application
Application Instructions - As easy as 1-2-3
1. Mix concentrate well before measuring. ASAP is a liquid suspension of hydrated minerals that will settle over time. Mixing well assures minerals are in the correct concentration during measuring.
2. Add correct amount of water. Each container has mixing instructions for concentration/water ratio.
3. Mix or shake before applying to soil.
Best application methods:
Irrigation system: Add early in the cycle to assure ASAP is delivered to site and followed by a period of watering to drive it into soil.
Perforate soil to maximize the concentration of minerals to the roots.
Surface applications must be well soaked-in to drive ASAP micro minerals to roots, even shallow perforation is advised.
Best results are achieved when soil has adequate supply of water. Roots do not grow or absorb nutrients in dry soil. ASAP is absorbed by plant roots.
Annual full strength and monthly diluted applications during growing season produce maximum results.
Application Chart – (How Much To Use)
ASAP X1 concentrate makes 64 gallons of amendment
ASAP X5 concentrate makes 320 gallons of amendment
You can maximize the effectiveness of ASAP Plant Minerals™ and minimize the cost of irrigation by applying ASAP during the wet season. This allows rain to move ASAP down to the root system where it is needed. Top growth is determined by subsoil growth of the roots.

Large Area Coverage:
For large growing operations, we suggest our X25 and X90 super concentrates.
Note: The suggested rates of application are designed for typical conditions and such should be used as a guide only. Each grower’s climatic condition, water quality, soil types, application processes and practices may differ and therefore necessitate corrections to ensure optimum results.
