1 TIME OF REASON FOR PRODUCT DOSAGE PER APPLICATION APPLICATION USED HECTARE (ha) Soil preparation: ± 1 to 1.5 months (4 to 6 weeks) before planting (sowing), or before growing season starts (late winter / early spring) 2 to 3 weeks before planting / start of growing season (Soil sterilisation) Soil preparation: 1 week before growing season / planting time starts (Fertilization - Soil ECO-GREEN: GUIDELINE / PROGRAMME FOR NUT TREES LIQUID LIME: To rectify soil ph, i.o.w. to increase soil ph & to supplement Ca (calcium) / or Mg (magnesium) levels. ph oncreases within 6 to 10 weeks by 1 to 1.3 ph units. Liquid phosphorus (P) in phosphate (PO4) form. It easily moves down together with the water, in solution throughout the whole of the soil profile until it reaches the root zone of the tree, crop or plant. Applied through any type of irrigation (whether drips, micro jets, "spitters", pivots, etc.), without any danger of clogging or blocking, whatsoever. Stimulates root development root growth, thereby improving production, quality yields. Organic chicken manure pellets contains all the macro micro nutrients (trace elements) for complete balanced plant nutrition that will improve quality yield. CAL-LIME-FLO or MAG-LIME-FLO 12.5 to 75 litres or 10 to 50 litres 0.5 litre (500 ml) / ha P-FORCE (15% P) Soil preparation Liquid 50 to 150 litres phosphorus (P) in, phosphate (PO4)- [depending on form. Apply through the soil analysis] any type of Large, irrigation system, already without any danger established trees: of clogging or 10 to 20 litres blocking. [Rinse hectare (wash) into soil.] (Water proly) VICTORY Planting of new 7 : 5 : 7 (10) trees: 750 g Organic Chicken (0.75 kg) to 1 kg Manure Pellets - tree Apply to the soil by 1 to 3 years: by means of an 1 to 1.5 tons / ha ordinary fertilizer 4 to 6 years: spreader. Always 1.5 to 2 tons / ha moisten / wet soil 7 to 10 years: proly, before 2 to 3.5 tons / ha & especially after 10 years & older: after application. 3.5 to 4 tons / ha REMARKS / IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER The calcium (Ca) to magnesium (Mg) ratio will determine whether CAL-LIME-FLO [calcitic lime - CaCO3], or MAG-LIME-FLO [dolomitic lime - Ca, Mg (CO3)2] is needed. Apply through any irrigation system, without any danger of blocking (clogging). Soil ph will rise by 1 to 1.3 ph units, within 6 to 10 weeks. Talk to advisor litres CAL-LIME-FLO = 2 tons dry agricultural lime ha MAG-LIME-FLO = 2 tons dry lime ha. Broad spectrum control of soil, such as Fusarium spp., Phytophthtora spp. (Phytophthora megasma & Phytophthtora infestans - ( root rot late rust), collar rot, Pythium spp. (damping off / wire stem), etc. NB.: Soil should always be moist before applying. P-FORCE contains completely natural, liquid phosphorus (15% P) in phosphate (PO4) form, as well as some calcium (Ca), which moves right down the soil profile in solution, until it reaches the root zone of crops, plants, shrubs trees - i.e. exactly where it is needed. Always, apply P-FORCE first, through any type of irrigation system (whether drips, micro jets, "spitters", pivots, etc.), without any danger of clogging or blocking these systems whatsoever. P-FORCE can also be applied by spraying it out onto the soil in a broadcasred way, or in furrows, then washing (rinsing) it 45 tot 60 cm deep into the soil, i.e. down to the roots zone. Always, first apply P-FORCE to the soil, then, a day or week later, apply VICTORY 7 : 5 : 7 (10) organic chicken manure pellets, which contains all six (6) macro nutrients [i.e. nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium or potash (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) en sulphur (S)], as well as all six (6) micro nutrients [trace elements - i.e. zinc (Zn), cop (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), boron (B), iron (Fe) molybdenum (Mo)] for complete balanced plant nutrition. It builds up organic material, which improves microbial action in the soil, as well as stronger root development growth, which will increase soil fertility yields. Always, make sure to wet (irrigate) the soil proly thoroughly before - especially after - application, or apply during or after rain. VICTORY organic chicken manure pellets are very easily applied through any old fertilizer spreader, or strewn by h in a broad casted manner or sprinkled into furrows.

Building up of food reserves for the next growing fruiting season. Please note : Plant spray applications of hectare can also be applied to the soil through any irrigation system (drips, micro jets). EFFECTIVE CONTACT BROAD SPECTRUM CONTROL OF AIR-BORNE FUNGI, BACTERIA & THEIR SPORES: Spray once a week (weekly), or every two (2) weeks weke, or every three (3) weeks 1 to 2 litres of 50 ml 100 litres water, preferably in the cool of day, i.e. very late afternoon or early evening / dusk / sunset. NB.: Always ensure that leaves, shoots & stems are proly covered (wetted), including the undersides of the leaves. The frequency (i.e. how often) of spray applications will depend on the intensity of the diseases pests. Monitor regularly. [Spray, together with 250 ml 500 litres of water 1 hectare, or 20 litres of, together with 500 ml () litres of water 2 hectares.] Spray in the cool of day.

Always, spray in the cool of day, i.e. very late afternoon or early evening / sunset / dusk. Ensure to always cover (wet) the leaves, stems, shoots, flowers fruit proly thoroughly, including the undersides of the leaves. Monitor regularly. This mixture (solution) will also control soft scale effectively. CONTACT CONTROL OF SOIL & ROOT DISEASES: Apply 1 litre together with 50 ml 100 litres of water to the soil, or together with 500 ml (0.5 liter) hectare. Apply through any type of irrigation sysytem (e.g. drips, "spitters", micro jets, pivots, etc., without any danger of clogging or blocking) or spray it out in a broad casted manner into the soil or in furrrows. The soil must always be moist already before application. Diseases, as caused by Phytophthora spp. (root rot), collar rot, Pythium spp. (damping off / wire stem), Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia spp., Alternaria spp., Verticillium spp., etc. are effectively contolled on contact. Monitor regularly. Apply weekly, or every 2 (two) weeks, or every 3 (three) weeks or once a month, depending on the intensity of the disease. NB.: Always mix dissolve first in water in water then, immediately, add. Always, apply all of this made-up --water-- -solution (mixture) immediately, do not ever leave it to settle or to st over. See the Eco-Green guideline / programme above. Always, discuss this with your Eco-Green advisor. NB.: Always store all Eco-Green products in a cool, dry dark place, away from any direct sunlight. Place the bins (containers / canisters) preferably on a palet. Do not stack more than two (2) bins (containers) on top of each other. Always keep containers (bins) tightly closed away from children.
