PROMOTES ROBUST PLANT HEALTH
SUITABLE FOR BOTH HYDROPONIC & SOIL APPLICATIONS
Microbial R.T.U can be used to control diseases such as pythium and pythora and is also used to treat powdery mildew, algae bloomsand mould. The most effective product available to treat Sacrid Fly (fungas Gnat) infestations including the lavae. Microbial is also used for sanitizing and pre treating growing environments and equipment.
How to use Microbial:
Microbial can be used as a rootzone or plant conditioner. When applied at the recommended dosage rates, Microbial will naturally aid plants to withstand attacks from most common pests as well as fungal and bacterial pathogen outbreaks, including fusarium, pythium, rhizoctonia, phytopthera, sclerotinia.
When added directly to plant nutrient solutions, root zone health will be improved enabling the rootzone to uptake oxygen, nutrient and water at a much faster rate.
Tank dosing:
Add 1ml to 2 litres of nutrient solution on a weekly basis or whenever solutions are replaced. Apply this rate for any additional water added to tank after initial dose. Continued use as a maintenance measure will assist the plant to keep most problems from developing at any stage of its growth. For intense dosing of media systems to assist with rootzone problems, total saturation of the media weekly with a pre dosed tank mix of 1ml per litre would be advisable. One application should be sufficient but daily dosing would be advisable until an improvement in the plants health has been observed.
Spraying:
Microbial when applied directly to foliage or stems rejuvenates the plant allowing it to naturally withstand many moulds, mildews and algae outbreaks. In tests to date Microbial has shown that it enhances plant health and improves immunity against botrytis, blight, fusarium, leaf mould, stem rot and powdery mildew.
Conditioner
Dilute 1 part Mic:robial to 5 parts water into a fine mist sprayer. Apply directly to all leaf and stem areas of the plant.Applications may be repeated once a week at this dosage rate as a preventative maintenance measure.
Microbial has shown to be an effective plant conditioner that improves plant health. Healthy plants often naturally withstand outbreaks of many common pests including fungus gnats, aphids, spider mite, and whitefly.
When used correctly it has the added benefit in inhibiting the following plant related pest and fungal infestations.
