Hello, for this growing season I plan on following Holland's Giants fertilizer program http://hollandsgiants.com/fertprogram.html . I have used this program in the past and it has worked out well for me. This year i am considering adding a few more products to my program. The products I am considering to include are TKO 0-29-26, Recover RX 3-18-18, MicroTech CT 4-0-0, Liquid Potassium 0-0-25, and CalCarb/CO2 Foliar spray. I would like to know if these products will have good synergy with my current Holland program or would there be conflict? Also would adding these products just be an overkill and a waste of money? Any info or tips on my fertilizer program would be very much appreciated!

There should not be any conflicts, just be sure not to use the salt based foliar sprays without diluting them properly. Also UGA has done research with foliar feeding Potassium on Cotton and found only a slight yield improvement with the plants suffering from a deficiency, and no yield improvement when foliar feeding a plant with only slight deficiency. How you extrapolate this to pumpkins is your choice.

I would be glad to consult with you via email. Perhaps you could email your soil report as well, which would help in evaluating your possible additions. I can be reached at hollandsgiants@msn.com I can also get technical assistance from Dr. Michael Amaranthus.
