Arborist, Greenhouse & Landscape Application Guidelines
IMPORTANT GENERAL INFORMATION AND SPECIAL APPLICATION GUIDELINES
. . .Important soil considerations.In sandy soils, or where leaching is a critical consideration, utilize the lower recommended rates of water, combined with
the higher rates of "Bio-Plex Technical Transplant Concentrate" to minimize and offset inefficient porous soil
characteristics.
Important moisture considerations. (1) In times of high or frequent rainfall or saturated soil conditions,when plant tissues are quite turgid and highly saturated with moisture, you can successfully treat plants under these
conditions; however, you must allow an additional 2-4 days (24-96 hrs) after last rainfall before attempting to harvest
plants. (2) It is advisable to apply "Bio-Plex Technical Transplant Concentrate" prior to hydrating plants, while the plant is at
its highest point of de-hydration and threshold of "thirst" is greatest.You will result in higher levels of "AI" translocating into
the plant - quicker. *Higher label rate recommendations are intended to be utilized to offset more extreme, elevated levels
of environmental or physical stress. Higher label rate recommendations can also help offset the traditionally more difficult
transplant nature of some plant specimens. As a general rule, use lower label rates in lower stress periods, or, for
traditionally easier to transplant ornamentals. Note: Method of root-drench can and will vary widely; however, a thorough,
deliberate root-saturation is imperative for optimum results. Anything "Summer Dug" in the Cherry, Pear, Crabapple, Ash,
family, or "multiple or branched trunk specimens" as in Clump River Birch, or "grafted specimens" - increase label
recommended rates to 3.0 - 4.0 fl. oz of "Bio-Plex Technical Transplant Concentrate" per each caliper inch trunk diameter,
per 5-10 gallon water per each 1" caliper trunk diameter and complete a foliar and root drench pursuant to label
guidelines below. Withe these specimens, allow a minimum of 72-96 hrs prior to digging or transplanting for these more
difficult varieties. Refer specific "Summer-Dig" questions to technical support @ 1-800-441-3573
.
Summer Digging Deciduous Plants
. . .To reduce transplant shock, plant decline, defoliation or potential plant loss -apply "Bio-Plex Technical Transplant Concentrate" to plants 48-96 hrs prior to digging, transporting or transplanting. For
superior results under the most extreme adverse conditions, "Bio-Plex Technical Transplant Concentrate" should be
applied in two ways, at identical dilutions. Prepare Tank-Mix @ *1.0 to 3.0 fl.oz. of Bio-Plex Technical Concentrate per
each caliper inch trunk diameter, into 5-10 gallon water for each 1" caliper trunk diameter. From that total tank-mix, apply
approximately 1/5 to1/4 total tank-mix as a thorough foliar drench, the remainder apply as a root drench (slow-drip
method is preferred, other root-drench methods can prove equally successful).
(Step #1) Foliar Application. Apply tank-mix to foliage until run-off. Question - is foliar application always required?
Generally, the foliar application is only 'skipped' when time or equipment limitations do not permit. The foliar application
allows for an ideal secondary entry point for the active ingredients of "Bio-Plex" to penetrate and more completely
translocate throughout the plants vascular system. Foliar applications allow for larger amounts of "AI" to saturate the plant
tissues more rapidly. For optimum "stress reduction" under high stress thresholds, we highly recommend you DO NOT
"skip" the foliar application. If foliar application is omitted, please allow an additional 1-2 days for supplemental root
adsorption from the root drench procedure. results. CAUTION, Foliar Application Only - Note that Sycamore and some
Maples (at new leaf only) exhibit some adverse sensitivity (TIP-BURN) to foliar spraying. Reduce foliar rates to 1.0 fl. oz.
per caliper inch trunk diameter per 5-10 gallon water, or skip foliar altogether and "root drench only" at standard label
recommended rates.
(Step #2) Mandatory Root Drench - After foliar spray, apply remainder of tank-mix at a proportionate rate so as to deliver
the appropriate amount (1-3 fl.oz. Bio-Plex "AI" per each 1" caliper trunk diameter) to each ornamental to be treated from
tank-mix. Root drenching serves as the "primary" vehicle for the translocation of "Bio-Plex" active ingredients and should
be completed in slow-drip format for best
Summer Digging Conifers
. . .Apply "Bio-Plex Technical Transplant Concentrate" to plants 24-96 hrs prior to digging ortransplanting. For best results harvesting Conifers,"Bio-Plex Technical Transplant Concentrate" can be applied
successfully in one of two ways . . .
(Method #1) Tank-Mix 1.0 to 3.0 fl.oz. of "Bio-Plex Technical Transplant Concentrate" per caliper inch trunk diameter, into
5-7 gallon water per each one inch caliper trunk diameter. From that total tank-mix apply approximately 1/5 -1/4 tank-mix
as a thorough foliar drench, the remainder apply as a root drench (slow-drip preferred). OR
(Method #2) Tank-mix 7.0 - 10.0 fl.oz. of Bio-Plex Technical Concentrate per 10 gallon water. Apply to plant as a liberal
foliar drench to the point of needle saturation and drip. To deliver the remainder of tank-mix material to soil and roots,
adjust spraygun pattern to a coarse high volume stream and generously spray conifer at base of plant (where soil and
trunk meet) to the point of puddling or pooling. As a general guideline, spray at base of plant approximately 10-25
seconds per each 1" caliper trunk diameter (pause as required to prevent tank-mix from migrating from base of tree)
depending on "PSI", etc. Allow 48-96 hours for material to translocate before harvesting.
Follow-up Applications to Summer-Digging or General Ornamental Plant Enhancement to Ornamental
Landscape Installations or Transplants,
. . .Re-apply "Bio-Plex Technical Transplant Concentrate" at 15-30 dayintervals or sooner if plant symptom and/ or extreme environmental stress requires (Excess Heat, Cold, Drought, etc.).
Re-applications can be made as root drench alone at a rate of 2.0-3.0 fl. oz. per cal. in. trunk diameter per 3-7 gallon
water per each 1" caliper trunk diameter or gallon size container. Subsequent applications can be effectively spaced at
30-45 day intervals for as long as is required to stabilize plant. For future plant nutritional considerations, use Bio-Plex
Organics, liquid 12-4-6 or 5-10-5 Turf - Tree, Flower and Shrub formulation.
