Applications & Uses

Directions for Use

Initial Substrate Hydration:

Preparation Of Media For Flats, Pots, Hanging Baskets, And Nursery Containers

  • Media Treatment: For most mixes, apply 2-4 fl. oz.Cultivata per cubic yard in enough water to get uniform distribution and mix thoroughly. Cultivata should be applied in 2 gallons of water per cubic yard of mix. AddCultivata to water and agitate or stir. Spray as uniformly as possible while media is blending.
  • For difficult to wet mixes use 4-6 fl. oz. ofCultivata per cubic yard in enough water to get uniform distribution and mix thoroughly. Cultivatashould be applied in 2 gallons of water per cubic yard of mix. AddCultivata to water and agitate or stir. Spray as uniformly as possible while media is blending.

Preparation Of Plug Or Propagation Media

  • Apply 2-3 fl. oz. ofCultivata per cubic yard in enough water to get uniform distribution and mix thoroughly.Cultivata should be applied in 2 gallons of water per cubic yard of mix. AddCultivata to water and agitate or stir. Spray as uniformly as possible while media is blending.
