Directions: 
Mix with water at a rate of 3-oz (by weight) per ˝-gallon of water. Use more or less water to achieve desired consistency of gel. Dip roots of bare root seedlings into gel just before planting. May also be used to dip small container plugs: remove from container and dip plug. One-half gallon of gel will treat about 100 bare root seedlings of 12-inch height or less. Larger seedlings will use more gel.

Proof of Compliance with Specifications: The contractor will demonstrate compliance by showing invoices to prove purchase of product in sufficient quantity to cover the project at the rates recommended by the manufacturer. Include project name, date of purchase of product, and name of contact.
