Preparation

Mix in a ventilated zone with sufficient water to cover the plant root-zone.

Apply

• Early morning into moist soil conditions co-apply with liquid/dry fertiliser if desired.
• Spray or fertigate uniformly on the root-zone surface or seedbed within 4 hours of solute mixing.

Notes

• Use separate tanks when co-applying with bactericide/fungicide/copper.
• Allow the solution of NUTROMAXX to soak for 1-2 hours prior to application.
• Stir regularly to avoid powder forming a surface suspension.
• NUTROMAXX maintains a shelf life for 12 months from the date of production, stored in cool/dry/covered spaces @ 5-25 centigrade in undamaged packaging.
• The active ingredients maintain a 6 month soil life.
• Where seasonal biomass / fruit / crop development is imminent a second application of NUTROMAXX is recommended.
• Do not mix NUTROMAXX with bactericides and fungicides.

Wheat / Grain Application

'Nutromaxx Acidic-Normal Powder'

Purpose of application:

The product stimulates microbial soil life in acidic-normal (pH 4-7,5) soils. It is applied in a dose of 1.0 kg/2.4 ha diluted in 150-600/ha water (depending on the spraying tool), landspread and immediately rotated into the soil during seedbed preparation.

Storage:

Indoors, in original, sealed packaging, in dry, frost-free place. Do not expose the product to direct sunlight and radiant heat.

Shelf-life:

In original, unopened packaging: 1 year. Nutromaxx soil inoculants must not be mixed with the following compounds: acids, alkalis, cleaning supplies, disinfectants and bactericides and fungicides.

Treatment:

The product does not have any known negative environmental or health hazards, it is not flammable or explosive.

The product is non-toxic, has no harmful effects on plants and animals.

Neither the ingredients, nor the process of production involve GMO or GMO-related elements, the product can be used in organic farming.

Regular conditions of hygiene must be implemented.

Health hazard period at work: 0 days.

Please consider general rules of work safety when using the product. Avoid the products getting in eyes, mouth or damaged skin. After finishing the work wash hands take a shower and change clothes. After use the clothes and protective equipment have to be washed properly with cleaning solution. By observing allergy symptoms the work has to be stopped immediately.

Application

1. The product is used in operating on fields for stimulating soil life in acidic and normal (pH 4-7,5) soils.
2. The dosage of the product is 1.0 kg concentrate / 2.4ha, before the application this dose has to be diluted in a tank. The inoculant cannot be used without mixing it with water. If the inoculant is intended to be sprayed together with other products, we recommend making a simple mix before use.
3. The dilution (tankmix) has to be prepared with 150-600l/2.4ha water, depending on the equipment of application and the soil conditions (less in case of higher water content - more in case of dry soil). By using tap (chlorine) water to make the solution, let the water lose the chlorine content (let it aerate for a few minutes).
4. If the product is soaked/substrated before mixing into the tank mix, the inoculant concentrate must be thoroughly shaken before mixing into the tank mix!
5. Any sprayer can be used for the landspreading. It is recommended to choose the height of dispersion close to the soil surface to avoid product drift. If possible, use equipment that has a permanent tank mixer, to ensure even distribution of the ingredients. The treatment has to be performed with soil temperature over 0 oC, intensive (over 6) UV radiation has to be avoided. The tank must be thoroughly cleaned before use, carryover of formerly used pesticides may cause effectivity loss of the product.
6. Don't mix the product with bactericides or fungicides, because most of these compounds have negative effects on the performance of our product.
7. After preparing the tankmix the product has to be applied to the soils as soon as possible (ideally within 2-3 hours after mixing), or at the latest within 12 hours after mixing!
8. The product has to be sprayed directly to the soil surface and rotated or mixed into the soil as soon as possible (e.g. with disc harrow, hoe). The dispersion can be performed simultaneously with seed bed preparation (1-2 weeks before seeding) or seeding, also in the same run.
9. Soil mixing depth of the product has to reach at least the depth of seeding. The effectivity of the product left on the soil surface is affected negatively by drying and UV radiation. Use the product under environmental conditions generally suitable for seedbed preparation or seeding.

Note: The product performs well on degraded soils, while the result is not spectacular on soils with high fertility.

Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF)

Refers to the absorption of elemental atmospheric nitrogen, to naturally combine it into soluble nutrient compounds.

"Fixed nitrogen is probably the main plant nutrient that limits agricultural production worldwide. For most developed countries this limitation can be alleviated by the use of nitrogenous fertilizers. The increased cost of fertilizer nitrogen, concern about nitrates in water supplies, and the limited availability of fertilizer in developing countries are major factors influencing a desire to obtain more fixation by biological means

It is likely that nearly all plant species benefit from nitrogen fixation by bacteria associated with their roots. How much they benefit appears to be related directly to the degree of complexity of the interaction between the plant and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. For example, some leguminous plants, which have root nodules containing rhizobia, can fix more than 100kg Nitrogen per hectare per annum, whereas some grasses which have Nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with their roots may support fixation of 10kg N per hectare per annum"3.
