Soilmax Plus (Humic)
Soilmax Plus is a microbially developed acidifying solution
(with no sulphur) for buffering high pH soils and irrigation water.
Soilmax Plus will release insoluble calcium and provide humic acid supports to:
Release locked-up nutrients such as Calcium, Potassium,
Boron and Manganese
Increase water percolation
Delay soil compaction
Increase fertiliser efficiency
Ideal for use on high pH sites (above 7.0) or hard water areas
Application rate:
Std rate 20lts/ha.
Hard water 40lts/ha
Dilution: 1:7+ litres water
Recommended Period of Use:
Late Spring to Autumn
Application of SoilMax Plus
1. High pH soils
Apply at 40lts/ha; Dilution 1:10+ litres water
Check pH at 4 week intervals and repeat as necessary
2. High pH irrigation water
Use where irrigation water is contributing to
pH rise in the soil
Drip feed 200ml/100lts irrigation water every
3 to 4 cycles
3. Calcareous sand root-zones
Solubolise small amounts of inert calcium in calcareous sand root-zones for use by grass
Apply at 40lts/ha
Treat twice in any 3 month period
4. Hinder Take-All development
Acidify the soil surface as a hindrance to ‘Take All’ development, particularly useful on new greens
If ‘Take All’ is already present treat site with Bru Turf PRE (or a fungicide) to disrupt fungal spore colonisation and follow-up 2 days later with Soilmax Plus
Apply at 2 litres/500m2 (40lts/ha)
5. Clean spray units and mobilise foliar treatments
Add 100ml/100lts of solution in the tank spray
