Frequently asked questions
Q: What is the orthophosphate content in GoldStart 3-18-18?
A: GoldStart 3-18-18 is 80% orthophosphate and 20% polyphosphate. This allows seedlings to absorb the orthophosphate they need early and then utilize the polyphosphate a little later after it has broken down.
Q: Am I able to apply GoldStart 3-18-18 directly on the seed without fear of germination damage?
A: Yes, GoldStart 3-18-18 is designed to be applied directly on the seed without causing germination issues. Always follow the application rates on the label. Do not apply directly on the seed in saline, alkali, or coarse-textured soils.
Q: Can I add other nutrients to GoldStart 3-18-18?
A: Yes, any EDTA micronutrients will easily blend with GoldStart 3-18-18 with agitation. Soil amendments such as humic acids and additional nutrients like sulfur and potassium may also be added. Always jar test before blending in a tank.
Q: Can I mix GoldStart 3-18-18 with 28% or 32% UAN solution?
A: No, due to the potassium and the high orthophosphate content in GoldStart 3-18-18, there can be stability issues if mixed with these nitrogen products.
