Application
Use Vita Boost as a foliar spray to promote plant growth by adding 2.3 -3.8 ml (3/4 tsp) of product with one gallon (1 gal) of water to properly dilute, unless otherwise specified in the table below. This product can also be used in other quantities respecting the dilution ratios specified in the below table. Do not apply prior to excessive rains, since this may reduce product effectiveness.
Active Ingredients
We derive Vita Boosts main active ingredient, Ascophyllum nodosum (soluble seaweed), by extracting its minerals using mechanical methods, as opposed to by chemical means, creating a non-toxic and environmentally friendly product.
Safety & Environmental Info
Because algae can grow very rapidly in lakes, causing anoxic conditions in water, avoid disposing into drainage systems. Appropriate land management practices should be used at all times with any fertilizer; this material should be prevented from entering public or private water supplies (including wells) and any lake, stream, or river. This product is made from naturally derived ingredients and is non-toxic.
Mode of Action
Vita Boost contains macronutrients, micronutrients, and substances which help optimize flowering and fruit production, increase resistance to abiotic stress, and enhance plant immunity. The main ingredient, kelp, contains important phytohormones, enzymes, and amino acids that stimulate plant growth.
