| Crop | Timing | Rate | Comments | |
| L/ha | ml/L water | |||
| Cereals | 2-5 leaf stage (GS 12-15) | 1.5 – 2 | Increases tillering, root growth, protects against stress An optional 2nd application may be made 3-6 weeks later | |
| Milling Wheat | Grain Milky Ripe (GS 75) | 1 | Apply with Protein Plus to improve Hagberg Falling Number and protein | |
| Oilseed Rape, Legumes | As soon as spring growth is evident | 2.5 | Promotes root growth, protects against stress | |
| Potatoes | During planting to promote tuber numbers | 4 | Apply with placed liquid fertiliser or use as an in-furrow applicator | |
| Foliar application | 4 | Apply when growth diameter is 12cm | ||
| Sugar Beet | 4-8 true leaves | 3 | Promotes root growth, protects against stress, improves overall yield. May have a beneficial effect on sugar content | |
| Vegetables | 4 true leaves | 2 to 3 | Repeat applications 14-21 days later to stimulate growth and improve shelf life. Maximum dose per crop is 6 L/ha | |
| Modules | 1-2 weeks after transplant | |||
| Grassland | Early Spring | 2 | Promotes vigorous spring growth, reduces die-back in late summer, aids recovery after grazing/cutting, helps establishment of new leys Repeat mid summer or at re-tillering | |
| Horticultural Modules and Seeling Trays | As a root dip | 10 | Dip or wet module/seedling tray with solution before transplan | |
| As a foliar spray | 2 to 3 | Apply before transplant, repeat 14 days after transplanting, use the higher rate in poor conditions | ||
| Protected Edibles | 7-10 days after planting or 4 true leave | 2 | Repeat after 14-21 days. See product technical sheet for more information. | |
| Hardy Nursery Stock | As a root drench | 2 to 3 | Drench at 1L of diluted mix per m2 of growing medium. Repeat after 14 day | |
| As a foliar spray | 3 | 3 | Apply at planting, repeat at 14 day intervals up to 4 applications, or apply once after the second drench | |
| Protected Ornamentals | 7-10 days after planting or 4 true leaves | 2.5 | 2.5 | Repeat at 14-21 day intervals up to 4 applications. See product technical sheet for more information. |
| Establishment of Soft Fruit, Tree Fruit and Vines | Bare root drench | 10 | Dip bare roots for 5 minutes before transplant Drench at 1L of diluted mix per m2of growing medium Apply during early active growth following transplant application. Repeat up to 3 times at 14-21 days |
|
| Soil Drench | 2 to 3 | |||
| Foliar Spray | 3 | |||
| Established Soft Fruit | From early flowering | 2 or | Apply up to 6 applications 14 days apart | |
| 3 | Apply up to 4 applications 21 days apart | |||
| Established Tree Fruit | See comments | 3 | Deciduous: Spray at 50% bloom, fruit set and 14 days later to increase fruit set and retention. Spray after set and repeat twice at 14 days to improve size Evergreen: Spray at pre-bloom, full bloom, fruit set, with a further application 14-21 days later if requires | |
| Vineyards/Wine Grapes | As a foliar spray | 2 to 3 | 3 min | Apply at 5-10 cm shoot growth to improve bunch stretching. Spray 2 weeks before flowering and repeat at 30% flowering to improve berry set, berry uniformity and yield. Apply pre-veraison and at veraison to improve fruit sugar and colour (red varieties) |
