Livin Sol is a bio-fertiliser containing natural microbial culture that can improve the health of the plant rhizosphere and have a beneficial effect on plant growth. It can contribute towards plant growth promoting metabolites and phytohormones, may solubilise chemically fixed phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) and help reduce nitrate leaching in soil. Some microbes also help fix nitrogen. Besides this, bacterial species in Livin Sol help convert animal and poultry manures, biowaste, crop residues and biodegradable municipal waste in just 12 days into a high quality bio-fertiliser. This can further top-up soil and root health and fermentation of the organic material will provide bioactive compounds for plants to thrive. The root ecosystem is improved by enhancing rhizobacterial activity and population of healthy microbes which helps thrive crops in both organic or integrated-nutrient management systems. Lactic acid production by microbes in Livin Sol may help in reducing soil compaction and the impact of salinity and sodicity.

Spot applications:

Turf / Lawns:  Apply 5 g per 1 m², water into the soil. For high-value or problematic areas, increase to 10 g per 1 m².

Orchards / Vineyards: Apply 10 g per 1 m² around the active root zone (approx. 1 m² per plant), then water in.

Vegetables: Apply 5 g per plant, water into the soil.

Home Gardens: Apply 25 – 50 g per 1 m², water into the soil.

Roses (Bare Rooted): Cover damp roots with 1 teaspoon of product.

Nursery: Apply 15 g per 1 m², water into the soil.

Potting Mix Applications: General Use: 5 g per 25 L bag or 200 g per m³. Seedling/Cutting Mix: 10 g per 25 L bag or 380 g per m³.

Hydroponics / Aquaponics: Mix 5 g per 40 L of water in the reservoir with regular feeding.

Cuttings: Soak in a solution of 1 g per litre of water for up to 24 hours before taking cuttings. (Alternate method: 5 g per litre also acceptable)

Transplanting: Dip or apply to damp roots until fully covered. Use 3 – 5 g per plant, depending on transplant size.

Seedlings: Apply 1 – 5 g per litre of water to seedling trays. Water into potting mix or apply via watering can.

Tree Planting: Apply 5 g per tree directly under the root ball in the planting hole.

Tree Saplings (up to 1 year old): Apply 5 – 20 g per tree around the root zone. Ensure adequate watering.

Established Trees: Apply 5 g per 1 m², and water well.

Spot Treatments: Apply 25 – 50 g per plant.

Foliar Application: 

• Use 25 – 50 g per 100 L of water.

• Spray with 500 – 1000 L water per hectare.

• Up to 10 applications per hectare per year, spaced 7–14 days apart.

• Use calibrated spraying equipment.

Mixing Tip for Foliar Spray:

• For better results, mix 1 kg of product with 20 L of rain or bore water.

• Gently agitate in a plastic container or bucket.

• Let the solution sit overnight before use.

• Always rinse sprayer with clean water only before application.
