Spray solution onto soil over the roots in circle around tree.
Dosage per tree = 50 / (1000/area per tree in m2)
Hint : area per tree = square of average distance between trees. |

| SNS when applied on its own will nourish the plants.
* Fungus Inhibitor :
Adding 1 ml SSC for every 5 ml SNS protects the plant against fungi and simultaneously delivers a soil conditioning boost through the drops that fall to the ground. Recommended at least once per month.
** Soil Conditioning :
Adding 1 ml SSC for every 4 ml SNS when fertilizing through ground spraying simultaneously delivers a soil conditioning boost. Recommended at least once per month.
DO NOT add more than 1 ml SSC per 5 ml SNS when applying direct to plant and ensure SSC dilution of at least 1 : 5 000.
|
Comments :
- SNS will be more effective if applied early morning (before 09:00) otherwise in the evening.
- Applying SNS as a fine mist directly to underside of leaves is most effective.
- Only apply SNS to soil/roots where application to leaves is not practical e.g. tall trees.
- Generally speaking increased fertilization will increase yield.
- Fertilizing twice over a period of time is more effective than doubling the dose and fertilizing only once.
|
SNS Notes:
- The minimum recommended dosage of SNS is 5 ml per 100 m2 or 0.05 ml/m2. if applied every 7 days.
Increase the minimum SNS dosage if applied less frequently.
- Adjust the amount of SNS according to dosage strength and planted area being sprayed.
Spray SNS+water solution evenly to match the water volume/planted area ratio e.g.
- 500 l/ha = 500 000 ml/10 000 m2 = 50 ml/m2
- 1 000 l/ha = 1 000 000 ml/10 000 m2 = 100 ml/m2
- Increasing the SNS dosage will increase the crop yield which could outweigh the corresponding SNS cost increase.
- Do not exceed a dosage of 10 ml SNS per 100m2 or 400 ml per acre or 1 litre per hectare per application. The maximum dosage and application frequency should not exceed 1 litre per ha every 7 days.
- Applying too much fertilizer will cause leaf blight.
Water plants daily for 3 to 4 days to overcome leaf blight.
