Foliar Application Guide
Step by step instructions for applying microbial products to plant foliage
How to Apply
- Requires weekly applications with a minimum of 2
- Apply preventatively for best results, at least 2 weeks before potential attacks
- Dilute 1 litre of product in 200 to 500 litres of water
- Spray diluted solution directly at the foliage or affected areas, ensuring underside of leaves is also sprayed
- An organic sticking agent is recommended for best results
Precautions
- Apply during calm weather to prevent drift
- Apply early morning or late evening to avoid UV exposure and maximize microbial survival
- Avoid application during extreme temperatures (below 10°C or above 32°C)
- Allow 4-6 hours before rainfall or irrigation for proper absorption
- Avoid application during peak pollinator activity (mid-day)
- Conduct spot test on a few plants before widespread application
Storage and Handling
- Store in cool, dry place between 4-20°C away from direct sunlight
- Shake bottle well before use to ensure even distribution of microbial population
- Product has shelf life of 6-12 months when properly stored
- Use prepared mixture within 24 hours
- Contains live organisms - do not mix with bactericides, fungicides, or toxic chemicals
- Keep container tightly closed when not in use
- Wear protective equipment (gloves, mask, eye protection) when handling
