Soil Application Method
Mix Lysinibacillus Sphaericus at recommended doses with compost and apply at early stages of crop life with other biofertilizers. Apply twice for seasonal crops like vegetables:
First application at land preparation stage / sowing / planting
Second application three weeks after first application.
Drip Irrigation: If there are insoluble particles, filter the solution and add to the drip tank.
Long duration crops / Perennial / Orchard crops: Dissolve Lysinibacillus Sphaericus at recommended doses in sufficient water and apply as a drenching spray near the root zone four times a year. First application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall / spring season, second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn / fall season.
Lysinibacillus Sphaericus may be used along with Paecilomyces lilacinus as a very effective nematode control application.
Seed Dressing Method
Mix Lysinibacillus Sphaericus with crude sugar in sufficient water to make a slurry. Coat seeds, dry in shade, and sow / broadcast / dibble in the field. Do not store treated / coated seeds for more than 24 hours.
