Critical Factors

• Dexlate must be placed into feeding root zone at application
• It will not leach with further irrigation
• If placed outside the root zone, plants will not respond

Fertigation Method

Travelling Irrigators

Fixed Irrigation Systems

• Determine irrigation penetration depth
• Determine feeding root zone of crop
• Apply sufficient water to penetrate fully into root zone
• Inject Dexlate through entire irrigation cycle

(Drippers, Low Throw or overhead sprinkles)

• Determine irrigation infiltration rate i.e. depth of penetration per hour of irrigation
• Determine feeding root zone of crop
• Calculate timing with irrigation shift to place Dexlate within root zone
• Apply product to target

"Spraygate" Method

For use where fertigation systems are not avaliable.

• Determine target root zone timing as for fertigation method
• Begin irrigation cycle
• Spray Dexlate onto soil surface while irrigation is still in progress. High speed, low volume best, i.e. ULV on 4 wheeler
• Continue irrigation to move Dexlate into target depth

Incorporation Method

Most Commonly used in pre-plant annual plants

• Spray Dexlate onto soil surface using standard spray equipment
• Incorporate physically using tillage equipment into root zone
• Plant crop

Dexlate application will not be effective if:

• Dexlate is sprayed onto soil prior to irrigation
• Dexlate fixes to soil very rapidly if allowed to dry
• NEVER apply to soil surface without irrigation in progress

Correct Application Method makes all the Difference
