How soon can you water after applying Vitalnova Stressbuster?

Q How soon can you water after applying Vitalnova Stressbuster?
Asked by Aaron on July 21, 2024 9:14 am

Answered by the admin
Vitalnova Stressbuster is a foliar formulation absorbed through the turf leaves, not the root system. Prolonging irrigation for as long as possible enhances the uptake of Vitalnova Stressbuster to its fullest. If irrigation is required, we recommend allowing a minimum of 48 hours after application.

Does the Vitalnova Stressbuster need to be watered in once applied?

Q Does the Vitalnova Stressbuster need to be watered in once applied?
Asked by Gary on May 13, 2024 10:33 am

A
Irrigation is not recommended after applying Vitalnova Stressbuster to the turf as it is absorbed through the leaf and not via soil absorption.
