NitroMaxTM is a non-toxic; non-petroleum based liquid concentrate that acts as a bio-catalyst to micro-organisms in the soil when applied with water as a carrier

NITRO/MAX SOIL SUPPLEMENT
The do’s, do not’s, and how to’s
of Nitro/Max

2. You Need to Know That:
 Nitro/Max is: A non-toxic, non-petroleum based liquid
concentrate designed to increase the natural nitrogen
cycle in the soil.
 It makes more efficient use of residual and applied
nitrogen.
 Stimulates plant growth, production, and root
development.
 Increases plant sugar/protein content.
 Promotes earlier maturation

3.  Nitro/Max works best with the
entire J&J Soil Management
System but will still do its job
alone.
 We recommend that Nitro/Max
be applied several times
throughout the entire process
of the growing season.
 This being once before you have
planted, once as a seed
inoculant, once as a foliar spray,
and once again after harvest.

4. NEW FIELD / FIRST APPLICATION
We recommend applying a mixture of
Nitro/Max and J&J Soil Conditioner to a new
field because it helps aid the breakdown of
crop residues and to restart the nitrogen cycle.

5. MAKING THE SOLUTION
 When using Nitro/Max for the first time on a new field
should be applied at the rate of 12.8 ounces per acre of
land.
 To make the mixture for one acre of land measure out:
 12.8 ounces of Nitro/Max
 4 ounces of J&J Soil Conditioner
 10 gallons of water
 Be sure to always add J&J Soil Conditioner LAST when
mixing to avoid foaming.
 When applying solution to more than one acre of land
take the same mixture and multiply it by how many acres
you will apply the solution to.

6. CLEANING YOUR SPRAYER
 To clean your sprayer before the use of
Nitro/Max use a solution of 1 quart household
ammonia to 50 gallons of water.
 For smaller personal use sprayers apply the
same ratio of 1 part ammonia to 200 parts
water.
 For example a 5 gallon sprayer would require a
mixture of 3 ounces of ammonia to 5 gallons
of water.
 Be sure to flush solution through entire
sprayer system and not just the tank to ensure
that any remaining substances from prior use
are removed.
 Also be sure to flush the sprayer system with
clean water after the ammonia solution to
remove any remaining ammonia in the sprayer.

7. APPLYING THE SOLUTION
 Once solution has been properly mixed you are ready to apply it
to your field.
 Lightly incorporate the solution with the soil in dry, conditions to
help keep it in the top three inches of the soil.
 DO NOT incorporate with plowing.
 If stubble is heavy it is recommended but not required that you
add about 2-5 gallons of 28% Liquid Nitrogen per acre with the
Nitro/Max application.
 For maximum effectiveness crop residue should be broken down
and in contact with soil or worked into the soil (by mowing,
flailing, disking, or chisel plowing.)

8. Seed Inoculation
 Nitro/Max is not only a soil supplement but can also be
used as a seed inoculant.
 When Nitro/Max is used in this manner it has been
proven to break seed dormancy and also substantially
increase the rate of germination.

9. Making the Solution
 To make the seed inoculation solution, mix
Nitro/Max with clean water at a ratio of 1
part Nitro/Max to 20 parts water.
 The amount of solution will vary with the
amount of seeds being treated but we
recommend using 16 ounces of diluted
solution to treat 3-4 bushel of seed.
 If less seed is needed apply the diluted
solution at a rate of 4 ounces per bag of
seed.

10. Applying Solution to the Seeds
 When applying the solution to the seeds lightly dampen or
mist all seeds just prior to planting. DO NOT SOAK
 The solution can be applied in a planter box or while being
poured from a bag or wagon into a planter hopper, this is to be
done at the point of entry in a drill fill or when being augered
into a truck.
 If slightly moist and in danger of bridging inside the planter,
allow the seeds to sit a few minutes to absorb the solution
fully.
 Be sure to protect the seeds from direct sunlight and plant
within 8 hours after the solution has been applied.

11. FOLIAR APPLICATION
Now your field has been prepared, seeds, inoculated, and
sprouts on their way to maturity, it is time to apply
Nitro/Max in a foliar spray to your crop.

13. MAKING THE SOLUTION (CONT.)
 If you are spraying an area less than 10 acres make
solution at the rate of 12.8 ounces of Nitro/Max and 4
ounces of J&J Soil Conditioner with 10 gallons of water.
This solution will treat one acre of land. Multiply this
rate as necessary for the number of acres being treated.
 The half rate of this 1 acre mixture is:
 6.4 oz. Nitro/Max
 2 oz. J&J Soil Conditioner
 10 gallons of water
Always remember to apply J&J Soil Conditioner LAST when
making the solution to avoid foaming

14. APPLYING THE SOLUTION
To determine when to apply this foliar solution refer to the chart below:
Field Crops Time of Application
Wheat, Barley, Oats Early spring at first green up prior to stooling.
Corn 6-10 inches high.
Soybeans 4 inches high – first blossom.
Sunflowers 6-15 inches high.
Sorghum, Milo 4-12 inches high.
Tobacco 2 weeks after planting and ½ rate at 24 inches high.
Peanuts Prior to pegging.
Cotton Early squaring.
Potatoes 4-6 inches high.
Sugar Cane 4-36 inches high.
Sugar Beats 4-10 inches high.
Alfalfa, Hay Early spring at first green up and ½ rate after second cutting.
Pasture Full rate in early spring and ½ rate at mid-season and fall.
Foliar Spraying should be done in the evening or early morning when the plant
stomata are open.
AVOID FOLIAR SPRAYING IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY.

15. FALL / PRE-SEASON APPLICATION
 Fall / pre-season application is to be done after harvest
to restart the nitrogen cycle and breakdown of crop
residues for the next growing season.
 To make solution and apply, follow the exact same steps
as in new field treatment.
