- Directions For Use
- The Mauget System (A) Mauget compressible micro-injector with insert hole. (B) Feeder tube with flanged collar and opposite tapered beveled end
- Tools (A) Portable Electric Drill (B) 11/64 in. (0.4 cm) drill bit (C) Optional soft headed Mallet (D) Tape Measure (E) Insertion tool (optional)
- NUMBER OF MICRO-INJECTOR CAPSULES Measure the circumference of the tree at chest height in inches. Divide the circumference by 3 , this represents the approximate number of capsule's to be applied around the base of the tree (if the number contains a fraction, round to the lower whole number). (As an alternative, you may divide the DBH diameter by two to determine the number of capsules and evenly space the injection sites around the base of the tree. After the first series of capsules have drained, carefully remove the capsules from the feeder tubes and place a second capsule on the same feeder tube. This will give the same dose rate with 1/2 the number of injection sites). Trees in advanced stages of decline may not respond to treatment. The health, species of the tree and the environmental conditions will determine the rate of uptake.
- PRESSURIZING THE MICRO-INJECTOR Apply the appropriate amount of pressure on the top of the Micro-Injector capsule in order to compress and lock down.
- DRILLING THE INJECTION SITE It is recommend 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 1/4 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 microinjector 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 pre-drilled tree injection hole. Tap the rear side, opposite the insert hole of the micro-injector capsule by using a mallet. 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 insertion tool. Then place the compressed micro-injection capsule onto the feeder tube in place.
- REMOVAL Uptake in the tree usually occurs within several minutes to a complete day. 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 micro-injectors 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 2 days, 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 mini-micro feeder tube. Use of the Mini-Micro Insertion tool is also recommended.
- Usage
Vigor 53 is a Potassium-buffered Mauget tree injection Phosphorous Acid material, providing additional potassium nutrition in addition to phosphite technology. Vigor 53 works well in a total PHC program that emphasizes natural plant health defense systems. The additional potassium aids in leaf thickening, better stem and root development, and stimulated frost or cold damage recovery. University research has extensively demonstrated the ability of potassium to aid in the recovery of leaf and stem diseases as well as other stress agents involved in drought avoidance.
