Typical Analysis:
- 1
x 10'° per gram of the species of the
species Arthrobotrys oligospora, A. conoidus, Paecilomyces funosoroseus,
P. lilacinus, and Verticillium chlamydosporium
Application Rates:
Soil:
- Apply at 5kg per hectare. In problem soils
monthly application may be necessary. Mix 5 kg of Root-Guard with
5 litres of water to form a slurry and add to 200 litres of water
and boomspray over 1 hectare. Alternatively, add slurry to fertigation
tank or apply through centre-pivot. Apply immediately after preparation.
Apply in the evening to maximise soil absorption.
Information:
- If this product is not used immediately
after opening, it will have a remaining three-month shelf life
if refrigerated. Unopened bottles have a minimum 12 to 24-month
shelf-life from date of manufacture.
- Contains live organisms - do
dot apply in conjunction with toxic chemicals, particularly fungicides.
Allow at least three to four days before applying.
- Spray or
fertigation tanks must be chemical free. To clean equipment,
make a 1% solution of urea (1kg per 100 litres of water). Fill
tank and spray hoses and let sit overnight. Then empty and rinse.
- All
living microbes should be added to a liquid mix last, ie. after
all other products are diluted.
- It is very important to realise
that high pressure rates with spray equipment can damage or destroy
beneficial microorganisms. Try not to exceed pressures of 60
psi.
- Toxic residues remaining in the soil from
the use of fumigants like methyl bromide, Vapam, etc, may negatively
affect the fungal species in Root-Guard™.
