| Should I use less nitrogen when applying MicroSoil? | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Use MicroSoil
in conjunction with your fertilizers but only use 25-50% of the nitrogen you would
normally use when applying fertilizers. EXAMPLE: If you fertilize your crop 3 times, then you must also use MicroSoil 3 times (including side dressing). Fertilize 3 Times = Use MicroSoil 3 Times

| How can I ensure the best crop yield when using MicroSoil? | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
To ensure the best crop and yield, apply MicroSoil two weeks before planting seeds or seedlings. The reason for this is that the native soil microorganisms will increase substantially and will not be competing with the plants for the existing nitrogen and carbon sources during early growth. Like plants, soil microorganisms need nitrogen for growth. The life and death of the microorganisms during this pre-planting period produce additional specific enzymes which are very beneficial to the plant's growth process, resulting in faster growth and germination of seedlings, seeds, flowering and fruiting of crops.

Since microorganisms, like plants, grow better and faster with water, if possible or practical:

| Can I apply MicroSoil as a sidedressing or after the crop has started? | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
Yes, just as you use chemical nitrogen to sidedress, you can use MicroSoil. In most cases, if you apply the MicroSoil properly, you may not need additional soil nutrients. We recommend testing the soil for nitrogen to ascertain whether or not you need to apply it.
|
|||||||||
|
|||||||||
| How much MicroSoil should be used for sidedressing? | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
If you applied MicroSoil before planting, then you may only need to use one-half as much per acre (5 gallons) each time you sidedress or want to feed your crop nitrogen. Again, this should be determined by a soil analysis prior to application. (The reason for this is that the new application of MicroSoil will use the effluents of the old applications to proliferate faster). If you did not apply MicroSoil prior to planting, you must apply 10 gallons per acre to assure proper growth and complete soil inoculation.
|
|||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Is a single application of MicroSoil to my crops adequate? | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
Yes, in most cases, but you may want to experiment to determine the best use of MicroSoil by doing small side plots as recommended.
