SoilTech Mix Rates

Facts To Remember
- SoilTech can be applied by any liquid spray system, from a hand-can to a hoseend sprayer to a fertigation system, without harming any components.
- The most important part of applying SoilTech is getting the correct amount of product on the correct amount of area to be treated.
- Though more water will help SoilTech work faster, high amounts of irrigation or rain directly after application can cause the product to wash off before it can get into the soil.
- If using a low-volume sprayer like a PermaGreen, please note that it is highly recommended that the area treated be watered in, since there might not be enough water to carry the product to the soil.
- It is not a problem if you cannot get water on the treated area directly after application, since SoilTech will not volatilize under hot conditions. Still try and get a light watering, in form of irrigation or light rain, as soon as you can.
