TIP: If you are applying to soil with a lot of plant growth or organic matter on the surface, you could plan to time your application before some rain or during the rain to help to wash GROWERS GOLD into your soil where it is most effective.
Applying at or soon after planting is easiest, however you can apply at anytime throughout the season.
Applications of GROWERS GOLD, (when applied as directed) never go to waste, it remains a living active product.
For healthy soils; (with no growing issues such as pests, disease or many weeds) you can apply GROWERS GOLD just once a season.
For soils needing improved health; apply either more often (e.g. monthly until you see good results) Or..Alternatively double your dosage to 40 litres per hectare (4 ml per sq.m.). NOTE: Department of Agriculture trials have shown there is no risk of overdose with GROWERS GOLD.
For intensive cropping, where you are getting heavy harvests per square metre, apply more frequent application (as often as every 2 - 3 weeks) or increase dosage rate.
Always add organic matter to your soil surface after your application of GROWERS GOLD if possible. Your soil should never be left just naked and exposed! Reduce digging and reduce synthetic chemical use as much as possible also.
