How to use RootMax Powder
FOR NURSERIES
To use while planting, sprinkle 5g (1 tsp) RootMax into the base of the planting hole so that the powder is in direct contact with the roots.
For seeds and bulbs, mix 5g RootMax powder with the planting soil and plant as normal.
For already planted trees and shrubs, make a hole in soil next to the base of the plant and sprinkle the RootMax powder into it, watering afterwards. 5g to 15g for small to medium sized plants and shrubs. 25g to 50g for medium to large sized trees.
For nursery bed preparation, mix 100g of RootMax per square meter with compost, and use this to prepare the planting beds.
For seedlings, apply 5g of RootMax
per seedling in the soil before planting. For trees, use 50g per medium sized tree, 100g per large sized tree when planting; apply in the soil where the tree will be planted.
For potting, dosage depends on pot size; mix 5g (1 tsp) of RootMax powder for a 2L (67.6 Fl Oz) sized pot. For larger pots, increase dosage accordingly.
For cuttings when transplanting, take fresh cuttings and dip the open end into RootMax powder. Prepare a slightly moist, sterile growing medium and create small holes for planting. Place the dipped cuttings into the holes, firm the medium around them, and water lightly to settle the soil and activate the mycorrhizae.
FOR FARMS
For agricultural soil treatment, mix 3 to 5kg of RootMax in 50 Kg of well decomposed manure, compost or soil. Spread the mixture uniformly at a depth of 2 to 3cm in the planting rows for 1 acre of land. Treat the soil once before sowing and repeat the treatment 30 to 60 days after sowing.
Repeat application 2 months after first use. More efficient application rates may exist depending on particular circumstances.
