Put More “Body” in Nursery Stock

Container Plants

When setting seedlings or transplants in containers dip the roots in a 5% solution (5 oz/100oz water). Young plants will root quicker and fill their containers faster with this treatment. Apply Vitazyme with a sprayer or through irrigation 30-45 days after planting.

Water container plants with a 1% solution of Vitazyme every time they are shifted to a new container.

Field Grown Trees and Shrubs

Dip the roots of trees and shrubs before setting in the field with a 5% solution of Vitazyme. Apply Vitazyme with a sprayer or through irrigation every 30-45 days.

What to Expect

Unlike excess nitrogen fertilization, Vitazyme will not produce sucker growth, so late season applications can be applied during the time of greatest caliper growth on shade and ornamental trees. Vitazyme will produce more fibrous roots than fertilizer alone, which means less mortality for B&B stock, and will produce shorter internodes and encourage more lateral buds. The plant will therefore have more branches and leaves, which will result in a plant with more ‘body’.

Evergreens will have more ‘body’ because more of the energy of the plant goes into lateral branch development and less into apical bud development, which means a better plant with less trimming.

Regular Vitazyme use will significantly shorten cropping cycles with both container and field grown nursery stock. Lateral branching in trees and shrubs will increase, leaves will be darker in color, and more flower buds will develop.

The rate for all applications is 13 oz/acre (1-liter/hectare). Remember, you can mix Vitazyme with all your other chemicals and fertilizers to eliminate application costs.
