BlueGold® Fire Extinguisher (Wetting Agent, Silica, Iodine) (Not NOP)

CUSTOM BLEND WETTING AGENT FORMULATED FROM
OMRI-LISTED BASE BLEND AND SILICA WITH IODINE
(NOT PERMITTED IN ORGANICS. NOP VERSION HERE.)

WHAT CAN BASE BLEND WETTING AGENT DO FOR YOU?

Wetting Agents are a proven crop management tool. Wetting agents, or surfactants, make water wetter, thereby increasing water penetration into the soil deeper and broader. As Agriculture’s most used carrier liquid, water mixes with materials infinitely more efficiently when water tension is reduced using wetting agents. Additionally, as the water penetrates deeper and broader into the soil, the nutrients it carries also penetrate deeper and broader. This gains an immediate benefit in reduced runoff and reduced burn-off of nutrients, and in the case of soil with proper biological levels, the nutrients are taken deeper straight to the biology and quicker, more efficient processing.

Additionally, wetter water is known to break down salt and petrol bonds and more quickly hydrate dry soils. Unfortunately, most wetting agents on the shelf today are formulated from harsh, caustic detergents or ethoxylated surfactants. These introduce harsh pH solutions into your soil or combat your reservoir pH levels. Additionally, these types have questionable safety concerns.

Please note that Wetting Agents, like Base Blend, ‘mine’ the soil and help bring nutrition up through the root system. You must put back into the soil what the plants take out in their growing cycle, or the yields, results, and immunity will taper off.

WHAT CAN PROPER SILICA LEVELS DO FOR YOU?

Silica (Si), referred to on some labels as Silicon or Silica Dioxide, is a soil element associated with plant cellular structure, electrical exchanges, and nutrient-to-nutrient ionic bonding. Silica increases plant rigidity, immunity, light absorption, and fruit size. It also aids in heat and moisture stress tolerance. It has also been associated with correcting Hollow Stem Syndrome and increasing nutrient uptake.

It is the most abundant element in soil, and yet it is referred to by plant biologists as a “non-essential beneficial plant nutrient.” This is equivalent to the mentality of recognizing there are over 90 periodic elements essential to “perfect” growth and yet stating you can grow “perfectly” with just only three of them (NPK) until the end of time. This incorrect mentality that has led to the lowest vitamin and mineral content in crops in the history of mankind is the same that led us to build the BlueGold® System of products to grow plants at maximum potential through the power of proper nutrition.

WHAT CAN PROPER IODINE LEVELS DO FOR YOU?

Our BlueGold® IO-PURE (Iodine) may be used in the biofortification of plants by means of soil and foliar applications. The agronomic biofortification of food plants with Iodine is a new strategy adopted by the World Health Organization, European Food Safety Authority, Institute of Medicine, and various Independent Studies to address declining Iodine deficiencies. A balance of Iodine and Silica makes for bulletproof plants.

Iodine deficiency is a widespread micronutrient malnutrition problem, and the addition of Iodine to table salt represents the most common method of overcoming this gross deficiency in animal feeds and human foods. The biofortification of crops with Iodine is a new strategy to further enrich crop harvests with a potentially cost-effective and bioavailable Iodine source. Understanding how Iodine functions in higher plants are vital to establishing suitable biofortification approaches.

Iodine is not allowed in Organic programs. Iodine is made from Caliche Ore. It is the other half of manufacturing Chilean Nitrate, which is Organic allowed. However, Iodine is not allowed simply because of archaic laws from long ago that had it “not allowed” back when sodium nitrate also was not allowed. The organizations who paid the millions to petition the USDA to allow sodium nitrate (which they did) did not elect to request Iodine be made available as well (the leftover from the sodium nitrate extraction process from the caliche ore). Our opinion is that the disallowance of Iodine in Organic Programs is one of the biggest travesties of the USDA. From our R&D, Iodine is one of the biggest biofortifiers to any crop at just 1 PPM.

ABOUT BLUEGOLD® FIRE EXTINGUISHER

We created this ‘custom blend’ for a single grower initially fighting Powdery Mildew in grapes. They dubbed it the ‘Fire Extinguisher’. It become so popular, we are offering it to everyone.

Our BlueGold® Fire Extinguisher undergoes our trade secret Eden Synergy micronization process which maximizes immediate bioavailability and combines our OMRI Listed BlueGold® Base Blend & BlueGold® Silica with our flagship BlueGold® technology and BlueGold® Iodine. We process BlueGold® Fire Extinguisher with zero chemicals, acids, or solvents of any kind.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION

For best results, this product must be used in conjunction with a proper Soil and Sap Test Analysis and applied according to test results for the crop type, crop height, and PPM change required. Properly balancing nutrients by simultaneously lowering all excess and raising all deficient nutrient PPMs is critical to long-lasting beneficial results in any crop.

Agricultural and Horticultural crops: Apply 32 oz foliar per acre with enough water to cover plants to a drip. 45 oz foliar per acre when issues are exhibited. 64oz foliar per acre as an emergency rate to address nutrient management crises. For use in smaller environments, use 0.5-1 fl. oz. per one gallon of clean water. If by fertigation injection, 8 to 16 fl. oz. per acre. If by aerial, 32 to 72 fl. oz. per 5 gallons of water used per acre. If by pivot or wheel line, apply at 100% ground speed, then resume normal ground speed watering. This product is not a plant food ingredient and should only be part of a comprehensive nutrient management program. It can be applied in all weather conditions, including rain and extreme heat. The best spray time is early morning when dew is present. Rates subject to excesses, i.e., salts, chlorides, metals, sulfur, etc.

COVERAGE:

With any BlueGold® Solution, you must cover the entire plant to a drip (fruit, leaves [especially on the bottom], stalk, stem, super-structure, etc.). Spray pressure and nozzles change as the growth changes on the crop throughout its growing season. Your field spray operator needs to spray 50′ or so. And we highly recommend getting off and inspecting the coverage, digging through the canopy, and then adjusting the pressure or nozzles as necessary. Many growers make the big mistake of not double-checking the application results. A few moments to check IS the difference in saving or losing a crop. BlueGold® can only work on a crop as well as it is applied. We recommend TJ60-8010VS nozzles and has an 80-degree fan and sprays 1 gallon per minute. Lesser degrees (example 60) have heavier droplets, so the wind does not interfere with the spray and is primarily meant to spray the soil. The 80-degree nozzle has a finer mist, so the droplets bounce all over and get optimum foliage coverage on a foliar spray. Lesser degrees can also require higher pressure (for example, 90 PSI) to get full function, and our recommendation requires 30-60 PSI (2-4 bar).

CAUTION: FIRE EXTINGUISHER MAGNIFIES WHAT IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH.

BlueGold® Fire Extinguisher is NOT approved for use in NOP because of the Iodine. We recommend Apical Crop Science Soil and Sap testing. Rates depend on the PPM change needed. Use only according to the manufacturer’s directions. 

Do not use with synthetically enhanced or grow media with excesses of Na Sodium, Chlorides, Aluminum, Sulfur, Magnesium, Potassium, NO3/NH4, Iron, and Boron with BlueGold®. We strongly recommend avoiding ocean-based products high in Na Sodium, Chlorides, and other salts with our Solutions and Sulfur-based products, salt, and heavy metal humus, manures (primarily commercial), and composts (especially mushroom, dead animal, etc.), etc. These inputs are upside down with excesses. The BlueGold® Grow System is based on balanced Nutritionals. By itself, BlueGold®, at recommended rates using Apical Testing, will not harm ANY crop, plant, biology, system, human, animal, environment, pollinator, or beneficial (including birds, butterflies, earthworms, etc.). Do NOT combine with pesticides/chemicals/plant cleaners/etc. Very recent or current use of chemicals like fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, algaecides, bactericides, miticides, pesticides, biocides, fumigants, plant growth regulators, pH Up/Down chemicals, dyes, etc., – all can cause an unfavorable interaction due to the Wetting Agent properties of BlueGold® Solutions, which can magnify the strength of said chemical. Strengthened doses of those chemicals can result in direct stress, burning, or death of plants. BlueGold® Solutions by themselves, at recommended rates, without chemical interactions, will never cause these issues in any plant or soil (when used as directed). Users must respect BlueGold® labels and manufacturer warnings to not combine with chemical/synthetic/excess element inputs by +/- 90%. It is the user’s choice against our directions/recommendations. If you encounter problems in the plants from the previously mentioned by your choice, STOP. If you quickly move the pH to 6.4 with the help of pH adjusters, without adjusting inputs, you’re drastically making inputs more available, which results in stressed, burned, or dead plants from too big of a hit from the nutrients that are now available at a much higher % than previously. This is especially true when all the chemical/synthetic/excesses stored up flood the plants at even higher EC/PPM values. Likewise, if you do not adjust inputs while using BlueGold®, as soil/sap pH is driven to 6.4, the same can happen over an extended period depending on soil and watering conditions. Store in a cool place.

As the manufacturer, we offer a 100% Guarantee when used as directed, within the Eden Guaranteed Grow Program. A limited guarantee restricted to exclusive use with BlueGold® products and systems subject to the Apical soil, sap, water testing conditions, and Postal damages. No warranty or fitment of purpose promised.
