Double the application for decline or blight stricken trees.<\/p>\n
For grapes, apply 75 \u2013 200 lbs\/acre to the soil around each plant using a spinner or row-directed spreader, then lightly till or water\/irrigate into the soil. For commercial nursery operations rates are generally 150 lbs\/acre broadcast, 100 lbs\/acre banded, 50 lbs\/acre for row or trickle irrigation application. Soil and tissue testing should be used to help verify proper rates. <\/span><\/p>\n A rate of 7-10 lbs\/cu yd of potting soil may be used when potting or transplanting plants. <\/span><\/p>\n For home ornamentals and shrubs, apply 1\u20442 lb. to 1 lb. to the soil around each plant and lightly till or water\/irrigate into soil.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div> Use AZOMITE\u00ae in the potting soil at a rate of 7-10 lbs\/cu yd, and add it to the irrigation water when possible, on a weekly basis, at a low rate.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div> When preparing flower beds or garden soil, use AZOMITE\u00ae at the rate of<\/span> \u00bd pound per 100 sq ft\u00a0<\/span>of soil surface (this equates to 218 pounds per acre).
