Our planting and replanting programme

To help your plants get established and cope with the stress of being planted or replanted, we suggest. the following approach.

Product	Timing	Application
Mycorrcin	Prior to planting	Apply Mycorrcin 2 L/ha with weed spray to the planting area.
	At planting	Apply 1 L of 1:100 Mycorrcin to the planting hole and plant the tree.

Organic Biofertiliser Programme

Product	Timing	Application
Biostart N	At budbreak	Apply 100 mL/ha.
	Post-flowering	Apply 200 mL/ha.
	Post-harvest	Apply 200 mL/ha.

Time of application: Apply in the late afternoon or under cloud cover when the incidence of UV rays is reduced and preferably before a rain event.

Maximising activity in the field: Ensure that the soils to be treated have sufficient molybdenum and iron, are not water-logged, have good aeration, and adequate levels of organic matter. Co-application with BioStart Mycorrcin or Digester will help in adverse soil conditions.

Water rate: Apply BioStart N in a minimum of 200 L/ha of water.

Our rescue programmes

If your plants are stressed here are a few things we have to help you out.

Product	Timing	Application
Mycorrcin	During periods of stress	10 L/ha sprayed onto the soil when plant is under stress. Then start the standard Mycorrcin programme.
Foliacin	During periods of stress	2 L/ha in a minimum of 500 L of water. Then 1 L/ha every 10–14 days with crop protection sprays and/or nutritional sprays.

Soil problems

Product	Timing	Application
Terracin	Late winter	In late winter apply 20 L/ha Terracin, water rate 2,000 L/ha, (1:100 dilution) to the orchard floor. Three weeks after Terracin application apply 10 L/ha Mycorrcin, water rate 1,000 L/ha (1:100 dilution). Then eight weeks later apply 10 L/ha Mycorrcin, water rate 1,000 L/ha (1:100 dilution).

Our standard fertigation programme

For growers using fertigation suited for lighter soils

Apply Mycorrcin at planting for rapid orchard establishment and then regularly over spring, summer and autumn for improvements in tree architecture and fruit quality and yield. In established orchards a regular Mycorrcin programme assists with root growth, soil health, fruit set, fruit yield and fruit storage.

Digester applied in autumn assists with carbon and nutrient recycling.

Foliacin is applied regularly to the foliage with cover sprays, to improve fruit set and size.

Product	Green Tip	Tight Cluster	Open Cluster	Fruit set through to Harvest	Leaf fall dormancy
Mycorrcin	Fertigate 4 L/ha		Fertigate 1.5 L/ha	From Fruit Set to Harvest fertigate 1.5 L/ha every 4 weeks
Foliacin		Apply 1 L/ha with fungicide or nutritional sprays.		From Fruit Set to Harvest apply 1 L/ha every 2–3 weeks to foliage with fungicide or nutritional sprays. Apply 5–6 L over the season.
Digester					At leaf fall apply 4 L/ha on to the soil.

Notes

Mycorrcin and Digester can be mixed and applied with commonly used herbicides and liquid fertilisers.
For best results apply Mycorrcin and Digester to moist soil and/or water in.

Foliacin can be mixed and applied with commonly used fungicides and liquid fertilisers.
Aim to apply 5–6 L Foliacin/ha over the season at 2–3 week intervals. In times of high stress increase rate to 2 L/ha.
