Rhyzogreen is a direct food source for the soil microbial population, designed to impact root structure, plant health, and ultimately yield.
Soil health directly correlates to plant health. There is an enormous amount of nutrients in the soil, but only a small percentage is actually in a form that the plant can take up.
Soil microbes convert soil nutrients into a form the plant can absorb and use. But, if a soil's microbial community is stressed by poor growing conditions like soil compaction, excess moisture, or not enough moisture, up to 80% of microbes can remain dormant or inactive!
Typically, you'll need 1/5 of a gallon per acre; another way to look at that is 1 gallon for every 5 acres. Consult the product label or your Rhyzogreen rep for more specific details.
Blend recommended amounts of Rhyzogreen with 5-25 gallons of water per acre for foliar application or a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre for in-furrow application. For best results, foliar applications should be made in the morning hours when the air is cool.
Alfalfa - 1 gallon per 5 acres. Foliar - Early spring after greenup and between cuttings after plants have started showing a minimum of 2''''-3'''' of regrowth.
Grazing Pastures - 1 gallon per 5 acres. Foliar - Early spring after greenup. For best performance repeat application every 90 days during active growing season.
Small Grain - 1 gallon per 5 acres. Foliar - No earlier than 3 leaf stage.
Corn & Sunflowers - 1 gallon per 5 acres. In-furrow or foliar - No earlier than 3 leaf stage.
Potatoes - 1 gallon per 5 acres. In-furrow or foliar twice a year.
Soybeans - 1 gallon per 5 acres. In-furrow or foliar - No earlier than second trifoliate stage.
Sugar Beets - 1 gallon per 5 acres. In-furrow application - Apply 1 gallon per 5 acres with minimum 2 gallons of water. Foliar application - Apply 1 gallon per 5 acres on first pass as soon as possible after 4 leaf stage.
Yard Grass Receiving Continuous Mowing - 2 gallons per 5 acres. Foliar - Early spring after greenup. For best performance repeat application every 30 days during active growing season.
Vegetables - 2 gallons per 5 acres. Foliar - At 20 to 30-day intervals throughout growing season. For hand spraying mix 2-4 oz per gallon of water.
Fruit Trees - 2 gallons per 5 acres. Foliar - 3 times per crop cycle - Before flowering, early fruit stage and mid fruit stage.
