100 ml of VALARMIN dissolved in 150 liters of water could generally be sprayed over one acre of crop area (10ml in 15ltrs of water for 10 cents or 4400 sq.feet). Three such foliar spray treatments are necessary during the crop life. First spray recommended at vegetative stage followed by second and third sprays at bloom and fruiting. Specific application timings are recommended for individual crops in the following schedule. (SEE TABLE)

FOLIAR APPLICATIONS
Due to the nature of amino acids VALARMIN is best applied to the foliage of plants. @ 10ml / 15L of water, will increase spray coverage, rainfastness and reduce drift and spray odour.
Vegetable crops and Tomatoes:
Rate: 5ml / 8L every 10-14 days
Berry crops:
Rate: 5ml / 8L every 10-14 days during cropping phase Wine Grape Vines:
Rate: 250 ml / 500L ha every 10-14 days from bud swell up to pea size berries stage. Further sprays may be required if hot weather (over 300C average daily temperature) persist into grape maturity. Two post harvest sprays are also advised to improve carbohydrate reserves for next season’s crop.
Tree Crops (nuts, pome fruit, stone fruit, mangoes and exotic tree crops):
Rate: 250ml / 500L every 15 - 20 days.
Nursery, Seedling, Cutflowers, Herbs, Bananas, Sugarcane Rate: 5ml / 8L every 10 -14 days. Seedlings should be sprayed approx. 5 days before emergence. After emergence apply twice weekly for 2 weeks then every 10-14 days. Treat sugarcane sets with a 1/2 ml / L solution in the dip
Turf:
Rate: 5ml / 8L / m2 every month.
Citrus, Ferns, orchids, carnations and other known sensitive species.
Rate: 5ml / 8L every 10-14 days

SOIL APPLICATIONS
Application of VALARMIN should be applied or injected into the irrigation system towards the end of watering. It is necessary to apply enough water to carry Valarmin into the top 20cm of the soil profile

Annual Crops
Apply to soil before planting @ 2 L / ha. Good results are to be achieved also if VALARMIN is sprayed with pre-emergent or other non-selective herbicides prior to ground preparation. VALARMIN will assist in speeding up the breakdown of trash and weed residue.
Perennial Crops
Apply at 500ml / 500L / ha just prior to bud swell, fruit set, and vegetative flushing.
COMPATIBILITY
VALARMIN can be mixed with most commonly used horticultural and garden sprays. However, the performance of some products may be affected by the suspended solids in this product so that they become either non-effective or phytotoxic to the crop being sprayed. Always check the pesticide spray labels for compatibility with foliar fertilizers or to be safe, test the mixture on a small area, before widespread application.
