  • Grow Your Own Soil Bio-Booster Step 4 – Application For Farmers

Soil biology 

Soil biology may be killed by sunlight if exposed for over 15 minutes. During application, ensure that the biology is placed in the soil. The biology will grow and spread fast, so narrow spacing of application rows is not required. With adequate moisture, applications 2 metres apart have been shown to join within 100 days.

Apply GYO Soil BioBooster  100 L brew/ha.

Desirable biology foods such as: 5 L / ha Sea Minerals

3 – 10 L/ ha fish emulsion,

3 – 10 L/ha seaweed liquid

Trace elements as required - if missing, trace elements slow photosynthesis & plant growth

Transferring to the application tanks.

Once the brew has been checked by microscope and/or smells good, allow it to settle for 5 – 10minutes, then filter while transferring to a distribution tank. Ensure the tank is free of chemicals. Use a low-pressure water pump with less than 60psi, as higher pressures damage or kill the biology, e.g. PTO pump, or a 12V bilge pump.m Prevent clogging up of nozzles by screening with a very fine sieve, for instance, a midge-proof flyscreen or fine woven insect netting or a combination.

Add as much water as required to ensure that the brew is placed below the surface when injecting behind coulters, rippers or tines. Application by low-pressure irrigators is ideal.

Application by irrigation

Inject the diluted brew, sea minerals, fish emulsion and seaweed liquid into the irrigation water. Avoid high-pressure winch irrigators as biology will be killed, and trickle irrigation as filtration may remove biology.
