Given the lack of rain, it’s enormously important to reemphasize the importance of POST-HARVEST applications. Post-harvest can account for 30% of the plant’s total nutrient uptake for an entire season.

It’s part survival mechanism, part housekeeping exercise, all meant to help plants gear up for warmer days ahead. Feeding them during this period will pay dividends in the spring and the following crop season.

The belief is that these nutrient salts are removed by the crop or recycled in the soil. That’s a myth…
