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

  1. Apply during calm weather to prevent drift
  2. Apply early morning or late evening to avoid UV exposure and maximize microbial survival
  3. Avoid application during extreme temperatures (below 10°C or above 32°C)
  4. Allow 4-6 hours before rainfall or irrigation for proper absorption
  5. Avoid application during peak pollinator activity (mid-day)
  6. Conduct spot test on a few plants before widespread application

Storage and Handling

  1. Store in cool, dry place between 4-20°C away from direct sunlight
  2. Shake bottle well before use to ensure even distribution of microbial population
  3. Product has shelf life of 6-12 months when properly stored
  4. Use prepared mixture within 24 hours
  5. Contains live organisms - do not mix with bactericides, fungicides, or toxic chemicals
  6. Keep container tightly closed when not in use
  7. Wear protective equipment (gloves, mask, eye protection) when handling
