Incorporation into growing media (cucumber, eggplant, melon, pepper, tomato, zucchini, garlic)
Mix the quantity of product (Table) into the growing media. For a better homogeneity, it is preferable to premix the recommended quantity of product to a part of the growing media (or one of the dry ingredient used in its composition). The suggested rate for the premix is 15 g (¼ cup) of product with 10 liters of growing media (or one of the dry ingredient). Add into the final mix. Mix well until homogeneity before filling the trays.
