PROTOCOL FOR SUGAR CANE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
A. APPLICATION IN THE FIELD FOR NEW PLANTINGS OR TRANSPLANTING:
The recommended application rate for seed drilling or banding is 16 lbs. (2 gal.,) per acre. We recommend the use of well-composted materials spread over field and turned under.  Do not exceed a ratio of 10% compost to soil.  Materials that are high in fulvic and humic acids are the most advantageous to the symbiosis.

B. FERTILIZERS:
Applications of approved nitrate-based fertilizers, Biosol 7-2-3 or equivalent organic fertilizer should be adequate for crop production cycle. Organic fertilizers should be applied at a rate per acre 1/3 less than the manufacturers recommendation.

Mycorrhizal inoculation is usually most responsive at low fertility levels. To assure inoculation the University of California recommends that the nutrient levels should be below at least one of the following with the phosphorous level being the most critical:

* Nitrate forms of nitrogen are preferable to ammonium forms especially in peat mixes.

Caution: Do not use pre-plant fertilizer or fertilizers in the hole at time of planting. Added chemical or organic fertilizers will impair the BioVam's ability to establish itself in the root of the plant and delay or destroy the beneficial effects of BioVam on the plant.

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. Insect control should be achieved by using effective integrated pest control measures (IPM) whenever possible.

Caution: Soil pasteurization above 110 F or 45 C may be lethal for the Mycorrhiza in BioVam.
