I. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

A. APPLICATION IN NURSERY:
Mix BioVam as an amendment to bedding soils at a rate of one gallon (4 lbs) per cubic yard of potting medium.  If seedlings are grown in individual liners or pots, each plant should receive approximately 1/2 teaspoon of Inoculum. BioVam can be applied as a top dressing in container stock at a rate of 2 teaspoons grams per container, watered in immediately.   Chemical or organic fertilizer may impair the symbiosis and cause unnecessary delay in development of seedlings if added to potting soil when seeds or cuttings are propagated. Organic materials that are high in fulvic and humic acids are the most advantageous to the symbiosis.

Caution: If you pasteurize your soils, keep in mind that temperatures above 110 F (45 C) may be lethal to the Mycorrhiza in BioVam.

B. FERTILIZER:
Replace disapproved fertilizers with applications of nitrate-based chemical fertilizers, e.g., we recommend Biosol 7-2-3, or an equivalent organic fertilizer.  The fertilizer can also be applied individually at an application rate of 4 teaspoons per pot or liner. Avoid growth promoting foliar sprays that contain phosphorous.  Fish and seaweed-based products are recommended as long as they fall within BioVam fertility guidelines... see our Nutrient Levels and Precautions document.

C. MISCELLANY:
All recommendations about dosage represent a minimum amount. Increased dosages will add to speed and effectiveness of BioVam's work on the roots of your plants. Streptomyces soil bacteria, tricaderma fungi and other bio-control agents may be introduced through sprinkler injection.  Insect control should be achieved by using effective integrated pest control measures (IPM) whenever possible. This means the use of beneficial insects, botanical insecticides or other environmentally sensitive alternatives are recommended.
