Manganese 5% can be siphoned directly from the original container. This can be done with a variable proportioner that can be set to high ratios and eliminates the need to mix stock concentrates or stir the mixing barrels. For 100 PPM manganese, set injector to 1:350; for 200 PPM, set injector to 1:175.
Soil and Tissue Testing:
Have horticulturists accurately identify micronutrient deficiencies. Whenever possible, run these tests prior to micro nutrients applications in order to prescribe the deficient micros.
Parts Per Million:
Use the Parts Per Million chart to choose desired manganese ratio.
Foliar Feeding:
When using overhead irrigation, Manganese Chelate 5% gives you dual efficiency because the nutrients will be absorbed by both the leaves and roots. For tender plants and greenhouse foliar spray applications, use one-half the rate (PPM) you would normally use for drip irrigation feeding.
Hand Watering:
Mix 1 to 1.25 teaspoons Manganese Chelate 5% per gallon of water. Saturate soil with the mix.
Mixing:
Manganese Chelate 5% is not compatible with phosphate fertilizers, and must be mixed and applied separately.
