CytoGro can be applied through fertigation or conventional spray. It may be applied alone or tank mixed with other products✝.

Turf:
Initial Application: Apply 0.8 oz. of CytoGro per 1,000 sq. ft. (2 pints per acre).
Monthly Application: Following the initial application apply 0.4 oz. of CytoGro per 1,000 sq. ft. (1 pint per acre). To maximize performance, maintenance rates may be split in weekly or bi-weekly applications.

Note: CytoGro is best applied as a foliar spray in the late afternoon or early morning, providing maximum absorption before the leaves dry. For additional root growth and green-up from CytoGro, tank mix with iron sulfate or chelated iron.

Transplanting Trees, Shrubs and Ornamentals: Add 1 fl. oz. of CytoGro per 3 gallons of transplant solution.

Tree, Shrubs & Ornamental Maintenance: To improve flowering and stress tolerance of bedding plants; to speed up the correction of nutritional deficiencies, such as iron chlorosis; and to enhance nutrient uptake in root feeding of trees and shrubs. Mix 1 fl. oz. of CytoGro per 3 gallons of water and apply through fertigation, soil drench, foliar spray or root injection. Apply every 2 to 4 weeks or as needed.

Nursery & Greenhouse: To promote bud differentiation, cell division, root induction and growth and to reduce apical dominance, use CytoGro in your watering program or as a foliar spray, with plant nutrients.

Propagation of Cuttings: Dip cuttings in appropriate commercial hormone powder or rooting solution (such as Rootone or Hormex) and stick in the rooting medium. Spray or mist cuttings with a solution of 1 fl. oz. CytoGro to 3 gallons water (1 quart/100 gallons) at weekly to 2 week interval until root buds initiate. Then spray at 2 to 4 week intervals.

Transplanting: Add 1 fl. oz. CytoGro per 3 gallons of transplant solution (fertilizer-water). Drench the root zone. Follow with spray to foliage or add through irritation system at 2 to 4 week intervals at the rate of 1 quart per 100 gallons.

Production: To increase growth rate, improve quality and resilience of nursery and greenhouse crops, add 1 fl. oz. CytoGro per 3 gallons (1 quart/100 gallons) of fertilizer or water solution and apply through the irrigation system or via foliar spray.

Nutritional Deficiencies: To promote rapid uptake and correction of nutrient deficiencies in ornamentals and turf, add CytoGro to Iron, nitrogen phosphate or potash fertilizers, zinc or other nutrient solutions at the rate of 1 fl. oz. per 3 gallons (1 quart/100 gallons). Apply as a foliar spray or soil drench.

See label for complete application instructions.
✝ Compatibility: perform a standard jar test to check compatibility with other products before mixing.
