Benefits
Dosage & Application
Recommended field dosage (soil / root‑zone)
Use the following rates for root‑zone applications.
Select the rate that matches the CFU strength stated on your product label.
Product strength (CFU/g) | Recommended rate per hectare | Recommended rate per acre |
1 × 10⁸ CFU/g | 2.5 kg/ha | 1.0 kg/ac |
1 × 10⁹ CFU/g | 250 g/ha | 100 g/ac |
1 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g | 25 g/ha | 10 g/ac |
These rates are designed so that different product strengths deliver a similar total number of spores per hectare to the root zone, supporting consistent biological performance across formulations.
Soil / Root‑Zone Treatment
Target
Apply to the soil surface over the seed row or root zone, so that the product can colonize the rhizosphere and protect roots against soil‑borne pathogens while promoting root growth and plant vigor.
Timing
In‑furrow at sowing or at transplanting.
An early post‑emergence soil drench (for example, from emergence to the 4‑leaf stage), directed to the base of the plants
Water volume and coverage
Apply the recommended product rate in 200–800 L of water per hectare (20–80 gallons per acre), depending on sprayer setup, soil conditions and crop residue.
Use enough water to achieve even coverage of the soil surface and to move the suspension into the root zone
Mixing and agitation
Fill the spray tank to about half of the required water volume with clean water.
Pre‑mix the required amount of product in a small volume of water and agitate until fully dissolved.
With the tank agitation running, slowly add this concentrate to the spray tank.
Continue filling the tank with water to the final volume while maintaining agitation.
Agitate for 5–15 minutes to ensure spores are fully dispersed and keep gentle agitation running throughout application.
Use clean, non‑chlorinated or low‑chlorine water.
Avoid very hot, highly saline or strongly alkaline water.
Seed Treatment
Our microbial products can be used as a seed coating to place beneficial organisms directly on the seed surface, ensuring rapid colonization of the emerging root and strong early growth.
Recommended rates (per kg of seed)
1 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g: 1 g/kg seed
1 × 10⁹ CFU/g: 3–5 g/kg seed
1 × 10⁸ CFU/g: 100 g/kg seed
Apply as a dry or slurry coating in a suitable mixer to achieve a thin, even, free‑flowing layer on all seeds, using clean, non‑chlorinated water if a slurry is prepared.
Treat only the quantity of seed that will be planted within about 24 hours and store coated seed in a cool, dry, shaded place.
Note: These rates are general guidance. The optimal dosage can vary with seed size, seed surface area, crop species and treating equipment, so always follow product‑specific recommendations or contact us for tailored advice
Because some chemical seed treatments can reduce viability of microbial spores, avoid mixing directly with fungicidal dressings unless compatibility has been confirmed; in many programs, Trichoderma is applied as a separate or final layer.
Drip Irrigation / Fertigation
General guidance
Apply the same per‑hectare dose as in the soil treatment table (adjusted for CFU strength), divided into one or more fertigations during the early growth stages.
Product strength (CFU/g) | Recommended rate per hectare | Recommended rate per acre |
1 × 10⁸ CFU/g | 2.5 kg/ha | 1.0 kg/ac |
1 × 10⁹ CFU/g | 250 g/ha | 100 g/ac |
1 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g | 25 g/ha | 10 g/ac |
Pre‑mix the required amount of product in a bucket of water to make a concentrate, then inject this through the fertigation system so spores are carried into the active root zone .
System considerations
The suspension will generally pass through standard drip filters, but where possible apply after sand filters and ensure filters and drippers are clean before treatment.
Apply all of the prepared solution to the root zone within 12-24 hours
