- More frequent application at low rates (e.g., 14 - 16 fl oz/100 gal every 3 to 5 days) is more likely to improve results than using higher rates at low frequency (e.g., 28 fl oz/100 gal every 10 days).
- Use higher rates (24 - 28 fl oz/100 gal) when applying to large or dense plant canopies to ensure complete coverage.
Environment: Can be used indoors and outdoors in greenhouses, production fields, mushrooms houses, vegetable gardens, orchards and more.
