PlantVantage TurfVantage Unique plant and soil products for unique results

A HISTORY OF MONTY S Monty Justice s hobby of growing roses became a lifelong passion which he turned into a business Monty s Rose Care where his goal was to grow the healthiest and most beautiful roses for his customers. Monty planted and maintained rose gardens throughout the Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky areas. In order to grow the roses he desired, Monty needed a product that would provide readily available nutrients, would not burn and would not change the ph of the soil. No such product existed, so Monty set out to create a liquid plant food that would give him the results he was looking for. After nearly two years of trial and error, he created the Monty s Plant Food proprietary formulation that is still sold today. Although not developed for sale, Monty s formulation gained acclaim with Master Gardeners, Rose Growers and Garden Clubs across Kentucky and the southeast and was soon asked for by name. Several Louisville, Kentucky garden centers and a local distributor took notice and inquired about selling the product. Monty s Plant Food Company was established in 1997 to address the growing demand. The family business quickly grew to include customers in the Lawn & Garden, Greenhouse, Turf & Ornamental, and Agricultural industries. Having started with just three base N-P-K formulations, Monty s now offers a complete line of products to meet the needs of their customers in all market segments across the United States as well as internationally. Although committed to obtaining the desired results from the plant, Monty s focus on the soil has made it the leader in the fields of humic substances and soil health. Monty s products are not only unique, but product performance and the commitment to the customer are second to none. Still a privately held company with a family atmosphere, Monty s Plant Food Company doesn t take their success for granted. From the company s humble beginnings when Monty and members of his church would fill small bottles in his garage in the late 1990s, to shipping full tanker loads across the country, the folks at Monty s appreciate the opportunity to work with every customer and are thankful for every sale. Monty Justice believed his plant food was a blessing because it had such a positive impact on so many people s lives. His accomplishments are truly a gift to growers and gardeners around the world. As Monty himself said before he passed away in 2012, The pleasure is in the giving. 2

MONTY S ACTIVATED HUMIC TECHNOLOGY A PRODUCT ENGINEERED TO WORK IN YOUR SOIL TO MAXIMIZE PLANT PERFORMANCE Monty's takes the process further with our proprietary technology... Let's start with raw brown coal. 75% of raw brown coal is organic matter 80% of that organic matter are humic substances We remove most impurities and performance-limiting properties of humics when in their natural state... Resulting in more soluble and active humic substances... Designed with a specific ratio of humics to fulvics, affecting both positive and negative charged ions in the soil... Which maximizes the soil's potential. Monty s soil conditioners are truly engineered products, maximizing soil potential leading to better plant performance. 75% of the humic substances are insoluble and inactive in their natural form Some humics on the market are mined, dried, crushed (or liquified), and remain in their natural state... insoluble and inactive. MONTY S ACTIVATED TECHNOLOGY! This is where many competitors stop! Monty s is the next generation of efficient fertilization of plants. I particularly like Monty s humic products due to the plant response and its easy mixing capabilities, plus I know it is safe. MARK WILSON, SUPERINTENDENT, THE PARKLANDS OF FLOYDS FORK, 21ST CENTURY PARKS INC, LOUISVILLE, KY Monty's activated humic technology provides more oxygen and a variety of essential nutrients for healthy root system growth by stimulating the soil biology. Monty s activated humic is engineered to unlock tied up nutrients making them available to the plant as it continues to develop. We understand the right concentration of humic substances to maximize biological, geological, and chemical impact which contributes to better plant performance. This is one of our advantages. Monty s is continually running tests and trials, always looking for ways to improve the quality and effectiveness of our products. The photo above shows turf grass germination testing with Monty s and competitors products. 9

THE BASICS OF HUMICS THE BENEFITS OF HUMIC TECHNOLOGY & WHY MONTY S IS THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY THE TRUTH ABOUT HUMICS A little dose of truth is all your plants want! The truth... Monty s humic technology is proprietary. There is nothing else like it, or proven as effective on the market. Monty s highly concentrated formulas allow for lower application rates providing better value to the customer. Monty s humics have been used successfully on soils ranging from heavy clay to light sand. Monty s products have a proven track record of improving grower s plants, soil, and increasing their yields since 1985. Monty s humics are uniquely designed to meet your challenges, focusing on soil health and sustainability. And that s the truth. Don t be fooled by others who tell you differently. A little dose of truth is all your plants want. Talk to your dealer or Monty s representative, or go to TheTruthAboutHumics.com for more information. What are humics? Humic substances can be broken down into humic acid and fulvic acid. Humic acid is a principal component of humic substances. Humic substances are the major organic constituents of soil (humus), peat and coal. They are also found in upland streams, lakes, and ocean water. Humic substances are produced by the decomposition of organic matter. How can Monty s lower % humic be better than the competition s higher % humics? Whether it s 50%, 25%, or 12.6%, humics in their natural state are insoluble. This means they cannot disperse effectively through the soil profile. Monty s proprietary processing technology makes our product the most active and soluble available. Our humics are more pure and have the ideal humic-to-fulvic ratio to provide for maximum benefits and success. We understand the right concentration of humic substances to maximize biological stimulation. This is why our lower concentrations are more effective. This is our advantage. How do you show/know it s active? Activity is measured in the soil and plants. Soil testing will show the results: reduced soil compaction, improved overall soil health, enhanced micronutrient uptake, and enhanced breakdown of plant residue. Results may include increased root mass and healthier plants. How does your cost per application compare to other humic products? Our cost per application is generally lower because our humics are purified and activated, have the correct humicto-fulvic ratio, and are applied at the optimum humic concentration. Although our cost/gallon may be greater, our cost/application is generally less because of our lower application rates. How long before it starts working? Monty s Soil Conditioner starts working immediately upon application to the soil. Does Monty s activated humic technology work in all soil types? Yes. Whether you have clay soils and compaction or sandy soils, Monty s Soil Conditioners can provide benefits to the soil. Why are some products clean and some have sludge? Monty s is the cleanest humic product available. Because of this, there is less opportunity for sludge to develop compared to other products in the industry. Monty s liquid products are a true humic solution. Most competitive products are a suspended humic. Suspended humics are not as active and often settle out as sludge and clog nozzles. What are the advantages of using Monty s products throughout the year? Monty s humic products are continuously working when used throughout the year. Monty s recommended programs can improve your soils and maximize your results year after year providing the most cost-effective solution available. Are there compatibility issues when mixing Monty s products with other products? Our field studies and university trials have not shown any compatibility issues to date. Always follow other product label instructions, and jar test first when adding other chemicals. How do humics raise/lower ph in my soil? Soils can be either acidic or alkaline due to excessive cations or anions in the soil. Because humic substances have both positively and negatively charged locations on them, they are able to bring more balance to the acidic (positive/ cations) or alkaline (negative/ anions) conditions in the soil. How do Monty s humics increase microbial activity? Humic products increase microbial activity by: 1) Providing optimum conditions for microbial life, 2) Stimulating microbe s internal processes, and 3) Protecting microbes from adverse external conditions.

The clover started to wilt in 5 hours after application and we got a better kill on all the weeds than we ever did with herbicide alone. I now use Nanoboost with every herbicide application, selective, and nonselective.
