Application Notes:
-If unsure of crop, a general treatment guideline is 1 ounce Quantum per gallon of water, and 1 gallon (4 quarts) per acre to cover.
-Spray mixture pH is optimal between 6.5 and 7.5; microbes will tolerate a pH between 3.0 to 9.0.
-Dilution with water prior to mixing with liquid fertilizer is optimal, although not required if this can not be achieved.
-Under stressed conditions, increase rate of product and/or application rate by 50%.
-Whenever possible measure improvements via soil and tissue assay and document effect.
