K-MaxK-Max is a liquid plant hormone product containing cytokinins from natural seaweed sources and water soluble humic/fulvic acid. K-Max is used foliarly and in the soil to supplement the natural hormone level in plants to promote and sustain flowering, flower set, fruit retention and fruit development to increase productivity and yields.
For those conventional and organic growers requiring the benefits of foliar fertilizers, K-Max is a natural potassium and seaweed based foliar fertilizer that promotes growth over that experienced with fertilizers alone. Unlike products such as: Acadian Cytokin, Goemar, and Trigger; K-Max provides a competitive advantage in both decreased cost and increased effectiveness.
K-Max is 16% less concentrated, but 69% less expensive.

811 MIX is a “liquid compost,” that contains a balanced content of organic materials that are used by chemical and microbial processes to enhance soil fertility and soil disease suppression.
811 MIX is cleaner, safer, less expensive, easier to handle, more effective, and has greater versatility than the alternatives of compost, manure, sludge, cover crops or organic fertilizers.

Cleaner811 MIX is fine filtered to 140 microns to ensure the most trouble free applications. There is no foreign materials and it will not plug micro-irrigation systems.
- No weed seeds, herbicide needs go down
- No herbicide contaminants
- No heavy metals
- No trash (Plastic, Nails, etc.)
- Less salts

Safer811 MIX is the only product that is certified through laboratory testing as being free of plant and human pathogens. This not only adds safety to your operation, but prepares you for processor residue standards. Because some animal and green manures have diseases in them, some processors are prohibiting there use. 811 MIX is a sustainable alternative.
- No animal diseases
- Safer on workers and animals
- No plant diseases
Product has:
- Consistency = Certificate of analysis
- Product liability insurance

SUGArS AND OrGANIC ACIDS:Although generally a foliar fertilizer, K-Max supplies a wide range of carbohydrates including mannitol and organic acids. Mannitol is a known chelating agent and explains in part why seaweed can release unavailable trace elements already in the soil.
