DOGGETT'S BASIC BALANCE is formulated for the professional. Because of it’s slow release N content, and the elemental sulfur, it does not dissolve completely, but with a strong agitation remains in suspension. Therefore it should be used with power spraying equipment with good agitation.
APPLICATION
Injection holes should be 4 to 6 inches deep starting out from the main trunk or stem, and then spaced approximately 3 ft. apart on a grid or in concentric circles. A site judgement should be made to determine what the entire root area (injection area) should be, however, a rule of thumb would be 150 gals over 2000 sq. ft.
Dilution Table
| Lbs. of Basic Balance | per gals. of water |
|---|---|
| 15 | 100 |
| 30 | 200 |
| 75 | 500 |
Following the grid method outlined you should inject 16 oz. of fertilizer solution at each point.
TO CALIBRATE
We suggest that you discharge your tree feeding needle into a measured vessel noting the time it takes to discharge 16 ozs. This will probably take approx. 3 seconds. Use the same count and cadence when injecting into the soil.
TRUNK DIAMETER RATE OF APPLICATION
Use same dilution rates shown in table. Apply the dilute solution at the rate of 5 Gals. per inch trunk diameter (DBH). Using the grid or concentric circle technique, inject 75 gals. per 1,000 sq. ft.
