Application Protocols — Agriculture

General application procedures for SuperBio Ag Blend

• For each acre, mix 1-2 gallons of SuperBio Ag Blend with at least 10 gallons of water and/or liquid fertilizer. If mixing with liquid fertilizer that has not been diluted with water, it is preferable to mix 1:1 with water prior to adding the Ag Blend. Higher dilution ratios are not detrimental.
• Apply through irrigation or use existing spray equipment, Hi-Boy or fan sprayers. Ensure at least 1 gallon of SuperBio Ag Blend is distributed per acre.
• If mixing with other products, avoid highly acidic or alkaline conditions. It is also recommended to jar test mixtures of SuperBio Ag Blend with other chemical fertilizers prior to use.
• Do not mix with fungicides.
• Do not tank mix with high salt fertilizers (28% or 32% liquid N).

Seed treatments

• Use one (1) quart of Ag Blend per acre (assumes 30" to 42" row widths) mixed with at least 2.5 gallons of water.
• Apply with a nozzle that sprays approximately 6" in width and is directed onto and into the seed furrow opening.

Transplanting

• The bare roots or seed tray may be drenched (dipped) in a solution of 2 to 4 ounces Ag Blend with 1 gallon water (32:1 ratio).
• Or apply the solution to the soil around the ball of the plant and into the hole at planting.
• For optimum results, spray the soil at the recommended rates 1-2 weeks prior to transplanting and then again 15- 45 days after transplanting at 2 quarts per acre.

Citrus Groves

• For initial applications during the growing season, a combination of 2 quarts Ag Blend and 2 quarts SoilBuilder (along with appropriate water for dilution) per acre has proven effective, especially when applied along with fertilizers.
• Subsequent applications should be made every 3-4 months using the same combination of Ag Blend and SoilBuilder.

Fumigated vegetables, strawberries and watermelons

• If using a starter fertilizer (poly start, jump start, kick start, etc.) mix 1 gallon SoilBuilder to 100 gallons transplant water at planting time.
• Inject a second treatment 15-30 days later (preferably with a fertilizer application) at 2 quarts Ag Blend per acre through the drip system. For strawberries it is recommended to treat a third time at half the rate.
• If no starter fertilizer is used at transplanting, then use 2 quarts SoilBuilder and 2 quarts Ag Blend per 100 gallons of water. Second treatment is the same.

Organic farms

• Use SuperBio SoilBuilder at the rate of 1-2 gallons mixed with at least 10 gallons water per acre.
• Diluted product may be applied directly to the soil as a pre-plant and/or post-plant treatment or as a foliar application.
• Excellent as a starter or co-mix for compost teas.
• For transplanting, roots or seed trays should be drenched (dipped) with 4-6 ounces SoilBuilder mixed with 1 gallon water. May also be sprayed onto bare rootstock prior to transplanting.
• For seedbeds, mix 1 gallon SoilBuilder with 10 gallons water and spray over seeds at planting or onto moistened pre-seeded soil.
