Microorganisms are microscopic plants and animals living in the soil. They include bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, algae, protozoa, yeast, ground pearls, and nematodes.
Can BIO-GOLD™ be applied as a side-dressing or after the crop has started?
Yes! Just as you use synthetic Nitrogen to side-dress, you can use BIO-GOLD™.
Take a complete soil test: pH, organic matter and available nutrients. Keep annual records for comparison as your soil improves under management with BIO-GOLD™. CORRECT USE, APPLICATION AND MIXING OF BIO-GOLD™ SOIL INOCULANT.
Shake thoroughly before diluting.
For crops:
Mix 1 gallon of Bio-Gold™ with 89 gallons of water and add 0.5 oz of Bio Food #1 (included) into it then add 2 oz of Bio Food #2 (included) then mix 10 gallons of 28% nitrogen in the mixture. The Nitrogen is used also as a food source for theBio-Gold™activation. 100 gallons of activated Bio-Gold™ is used to cover ten acres. Do not use less than on gallon of the Bio-Gold™ concentrate per ten acres. Let activate in sealed tank for 24 hours if water temperature is 75-80 degrees. If activated water temperature is 50-75 degrees activation requires 48 hours.
Bio-Gold™ may be safely mixed in the spray tank with most herbicides and pesticides. (DO NOT mix with fungicide)
Application equipment previously used to apply fungicide or toxic chemicals needs to be cleansed. Clean thoroughly with 1 quart of spray equipment cleaner per 100 gallons of water in the tank. Let stand for several hours, and then flush through entire system and rinse twice with clean water.
Remove fine-mesh screens from nozzle before spraying.
Application may be delayed after mixing for up to one week. On day 6 Bio-Gold™ needs a food source. At this time add 28% Nitrogen or Molasses to feed the Bio-Gold™ bacteria.
For best results, apply to moist soil surface before or during tilling, Bio-Gold™ may be tilled under to a depth of 4 inches, but incorporated in the top 2 inches is much better.
For turf only:
Mix 1 gallon of Bio-Gold™ with 99 gallons of water and 1 to 5 gallons of 28% Nitrogen (or/and gallons of molasses). The Nitrogen or Molasses is used as a food source for the Bio-Gold™ activation. 100 gallons of activated Bio-Gold™ is used to cover ten acres. Do not use less than one gallon of the Bio-Gold™ concentrate per ten acres. Let activate in sealed tank for 24 hours if water temperature is 75 – 80 degrees. If activated water temperature is 50 - 75 degrees activation requires 48 hours.
