STEMIX® PLUS is a water-based nutrient for use with liquid loadable injectors. Test Stemix® Plus for compatibility with the injector and its liquid contact components before regular use. Clean the interior of the injector with water to remove any residual liquid from prior use. Disinfect injector tips between tree injections use. Applicators should use liquid loadable injector equipment/devices with care and in a safe manner, in addition to following each manufacturer’s directions and precautions.
- Directions For Use
- The MAUGET SYSTEM (A) Mauget compressible micro-injector with insert hole (B) Feeder tube with flanged gun-sight and opposite tapered beveled end
- TOOLS (A) Portable Electric Drill (B) 11/64 in. (0.4 cm) drill bit (C) Optional soft-headed Mallet or Hammer (D) Tape Measure (E) Insertion Tool (optional)
- NUMBER OF MICRO-INJECTORS Measure the tree at chest height in inches. If measuring the circumference, divide this number by six (6) to determine the number of micro-injectors needed. If measuring diameter, divide this number by two (2) to determine the number of microinjectors needed. If the number of micro-injectors results in a fraction, round down to the lower whole number. The health, species of the tree and the environmental conditions will determine the rates of uptake.
- PRESSURIZING THE MICRO-INJECTOR Apply the appropriate amount of pressure on the top of the micro-injector capsule in order to compress.
- DRILLING THE TREE HOLE It is recommended to Predrill spaced injection sites at a slight downward angle at the root flair/buttress area (approximately 6.0 to 8.0 in., (15 to 20 cm) above ground level, using a clean 11/64 in. (0.4 cm) drill bit (except monocotyledons, conifers etc.). Drill to a depth of 3/8-to-1/2 in. (0.60-to-1.3 cm) into healthy xylem tissue under the bark. For mini-micro feeder tube, see Step 10. Disinfect drill bit, insertion tool (if used) as well as mini-micro insertion tool prior to use on each tree.
- TREE HOLE DEPTH It is important that the feeder tube be set to the proper depth in the conductive xylem tissue. If set too deeply, flow is restricted by blockage in the heartwood; if set too shallow, leakage may occur. The feeder tube dispensing end is beveled to allow for a ¼ in. plus tolerance.
- COMBINING MICRO-INJECTOR AND FEEDER TUBE Several methods of combining the micro-injector capsule with the feeder tube are acceptable including placing by hand, the feeder tube’s flange end, with the flange notch upward, into the micro-injector insert hole of a compressed upright micro-injector capsule. Push the flange end of the feeder tube flush with the membrane located at the inner end of the insert hole.
- PLACING THE FEEDER TUBE IN THE TREE It is recommended to firmly seat the beveled, dispensing end of the feeder tube, with the attached upright micro-injector capsule, into the predrilled tree injection hole. Tap the rear side, opposite the insert hole of the micro-injector capsule either with a optional mallet, hammer or push forward with the palm of your hand. This action will simultaneously seat the feeder tube in the injection hole while breaking the micro-injector capsule membrane for releasing the micro-injector capsule contents into the feeder tube and into the tree. Another method is to place the feeder tube in the predrilled hole of the tree using the optional insert tool. Then place the compressed micro-injection capsule onto the feeder tube in place.
- REMOVAL Uptake in the tree usually occurs within several minutes. Micro-Injectors may be temporarily rotated in place to see if any liquid is left. When empty, turn the micro-injectors upside down for one minute before removal. Applicators must remove microinjectors promptly after treatment. Empty micro-injectors must not be left on the tree. The health and species of the tree, and local environmental conditions will determine the rate of uptake. If the micro-injector capsule does not completely empty within a few hours, invert and carefully remove the micro-injector and enclose it in a heavy-duty plastic bag for disposal in accordance with state and local regulations.
- MINI-MICRO FEEDER TUBE For established trees with thin bark (less than 3/8 in. thickness), use a 7/64 in. drill bit to produce a micro-injection site for a minimicro feeder tube Use of the Mini-Micro Insertion tool is recommended.
- Usage
Mauget’s Liquid Loadable STEMIX® PLUS is a water based fertilizer for use with most all liquid loadable injection systems. An optimum formulation of chelated minerals with a very low salt index and elevated magnesium and calcium, designed to stimulate both foliar and root growth. Stemix Plus is for use in trees where deficiencies cannot be successfully corrected by foliage or soil feeding, and in areas where leaching into ground water is a concern. Because the elements are placed directly into the trees vascular system, the benefits of Stemix Plus can be evident for one to five years compared to adjacent untreated trees.
