BENEFIT HAY®

INCREASE PRODUCTION & HAY HEALTH.

Benefit Hay® (20-20-20) is used as a foliar applied complete nutrition package for your hay operation.  Years of testing on our acres has proved this will increase tonnage per acre and you will also see a decrease in cost per acre compared to synthetic fertilizers.  We have seen a decrease in weed pressure of our customers fields as well.

 USAGE RATES

 USE RATES:  Use Benefit Hay® once at green-up and approximately two weeks later. Again, immediately after each cutting and a second time approximately two weeks after the first application.  We will soon be releasing Hay Vision which will allow you to select your field location and variety and get notifications of when to spray based off the variety, weather data and the energy curve for that specific variety.

Apply a minimum rate of 1-dry pound diluted in water per acre per application.  We recommend a minimum total tank volume of 10 GPA and recommend 15-20 total volume per acre.

If blending through an inductor, ensure agitation is running and add up to 25 pounds at a time. Once fully washed into the tank, add additional product until desired coverage is reached. Agitate after filling the tank full for at least 5 minutes before application. Aerial applications should be made at a total volume of 5 gallons per acre. 1-3 pounds of Benefit Start should be dissolved in 5 gallons for aerial applications.

This product should be added after tank is half full of clean water. It should be added before any other chemical. Adding calcium rich products is not recommended with the Benefit System. BENEFIT mixes with most other products including pesticides. HOWEVER, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ALWAYS CONDUCT A JAR-TEST PRIOR TO MIXING. Produces a mildly acidic solution.
