DIRECTIONS
To correct soil deficiency for outdoor fruit and vegetable production: Apply up 17 g of Plant-Prod® Boric Acid per 10 m2 per year, based on a soil test.
For foliar application: Apply 1.7 kg of Plant-Prod® Boric Acid in 1000 L of water per ha. Do not apply in hot or dry conditions.
Do not apply more than once per season unless recommended by a certified crop advisor.
For hydroponic solution used in a constant feeding program or continuous feeding of soiless mixes: Apply up to 2.8 g Plant-Prod® Boric Acid per 1000 L of water (0.5 ppm B). For mixing with other fertilizer products, a compatibility test is required to prevent the formation of insoluble precipitates or please consult a horticulturist qualified in hydroponic or soiless media production. If boron is present in raw water, rates must be adjusted accordingly.
