L&L
Apply 4 to 5 ounces per 1,000 ft² in 2 gallons of water (13 to 16 L/ha in 800 L) at 30 day intervals or as needed. After an initial 5 ounce (16 L) application, drought conditions can be best managed by applying 2 to 2.5 ounces per 1,000 ft² in 2 gallons of water (6 to 8 L/ha in 800 L) at 15 day intervals or as needed.
For extreme drought conditions with high temperatures and/or increased soil water repellency, apply 6 to 8 ounces per 1,000 ft² in 2 gallons of water (20 to 25 L/ha in 800 L) at 30 day intervals or as needed.
Irrigate with sufficient water to deliver OARS HS to the soil profile – 1/8 inch (3 mm) or more recommended.
