This product requires sieving when applied with sensitive spray equipment. Prior to application, mix Tricho-Shield ™ with water to make a slurry. Stand for 1 hour, screen, then add to fertigation or spray tank. Microbial inoculants should be applied as close to the target area as possible: i.e., seeds, roots, leaves or soil. Do not apply in direct sunlight or in very dry conditions. Soil applications should be applied just prior to a rain event or irrigation (or during light rain events) to ensure successful inoculation. Ensure compliance with your quality assurance code of practice regarding the use of microbial products before use.
Read safety directions before use. Immuno-compromised persons (e.g. those undergoing chemotherapy) should not handle or be exposed to microbial products. While handling, brewing and applying microbial products protective clothing, gloves and face masks should be worn. Contains live organisms. Avoid aerosols generated by aeration.
