Usage Instructions

Applications and Use Rate :

AGGRESSIVE GROWTH

Use BIO-CAT as recommended with normal fertilizer applications for the first three to four weeks until the micro biological organisms establish themselves in the soil or grow media.

After three weeks and no later than four weeks, reduce BIO-CAT and fertilizer application by 30- 50%.

FOLIAR SPRAYING

BIO-CAT greatly enhances nutrient absorption in foliar spray applications. Use 10 ml/ 1 litre (3 tbs./gal.) in combination with 10 ml/ 1 litre (3 tbs./gal) of Nutri-boom Grow or Bloom. Shake the mixture well before applying as a fine spray to plants.

PONDS AND AQUARIUMS

The beneficial microbiologicals in BIO-CAT work well in ponds and aquariums for controlling algae. Furthermore, the Nitrobacters and Nitrosomonas found in BIO-CAT set up the nitrogen cycle which breaks down ammonia and nitrites created by fish wastes and significantly reduces the time to establish biofilters. To derive the most benefit from BIO-CAT, ponds and aquariums should be well aerated.

Directions for Use:

SOIL

• Add 10 ml (3 tbs./gal.) of BIO-CAT to 1 liters of water and apply directly to the soil.
• Re-apply every 3-4 weeks at a rate of 5 ml per 1 liters of water (1 1/2 tbs./gal.).

HYDROPONIC & NFT SYSTEMS

• Add 20 ml (3 tbs./gal.) of BIO-CAT to 1 liters of nutrient solution.
• Azobacters (nitrogen fixing bacteria) and other beneficial bacterial cultures require that the nutrient solution pH be maintained at 6.0 -6.5.
• After the first application, reapply BIO-CAT every 3-4 weeks at a rate of 5 ml. per 1 liters of solutions (1 1/2 tbs./gal.).
• Be sure to reduce fertilizer applications correspondingly (reduce by 1/2).

IMPORTANT:

The beneficial bacteria in BIO-CAT are aerobic (need oxygen) and in order to ensure their growth and development nutrient reservoirs should be well aerated.
