Technical Details

Primarily designed as a soil conditioner but can be used as a fertiliser by increasing the application rates as all essential nutrients except calcium and magnesium are present in balanced proportions.

Contains enzymes, folic acid, biotin and inositols.

Contains natural soaps which occur during the fish processing which are excellent wetting agents.

Neem oil has been added to further aid wetting.

Contains significant amounts of bacteria, both lacto and thio bacillus, which will exponentially multiply over a short period once applied to the soil. This will ensure the controlled breakdown of organic matter into plant-available nutrients.

Used as a soil conditioner, the poly saccharates increase the micro-organism activity in the soil, decreasing the effects of high salinity. Increasing the soil's natural bacterial activity aids in the mobilization of previously locked up plant nutrients.

Converts stubble from post harvest in broad acreage situations into rich organic matter. This lessens phyto-toxicity caused by phenols normally associated with the breakdown of cereal straw.

Will increase composting rate when added to compost materials.

Can be applied through drippers using fertigation. Also suitable for foliar applications, watering cans, and boom sprays.

Application Rates for use as a Soil Conditioner

Note: a minimum dilution rate of 50 ml/L or 1:20 (1 part concentrate to 20 parts water) is recommended for all applications. This product is biologically active and when diluted will start to decompose within 1-2 days. Diluted product should be used on the day of dilution. Irrigation lines should be flushed after application with plain water.

Crop/Use	Recommended Application Rate	Frequency

Vegetables	5-7 ml/m² (50-70 L/HA)	Apply after soil preparation plus 1 week prior to planting and again half way between planting and harvest.
Orchards	3-5 ml/m²of area covered by canopy	Apply just prior to or at flowering and again after harvest.
Pastures	4-6 ml/m²(40-60 L/HA) and	Apply higher rate prior to establishment and then lower rate half way through growth, after cutting or grazing and then again half way through re-growth.
Pastures	2-4 ml/m²(20-40 L/HA)
Broad acreage including cereals and cotton	30-40 L/HA	Apply lower rate just prior to crop establishment. If fallow is practiced, especially after cereal crops, apply higher rate after harvest.
Composting	3-5 L/100 L per cubic metre of hay (approx 6-8 bales)	Spray on as required.
Composting drum	2 L/100 L of drum capacity	Apply once rotating composting drum is one third full. Turn drum to mix well with composting material.

Crop Specific Application Rates for use as a Fertiliser

Important: Moeco Bio Brew does not contain sufficient calcium and magnesium to express full yield potential. Calcium and magnesium is normally supplied by liming and should be available in abundance in soils suitable for cropping. Application rates will vary with soil types, climatic conditions and prior cultivation practices. The application rates suggested below assume that soil and climatic conditions are conducive to the particular crop intended. Therefore the information below is a broadly-based indication only.

Note: This product is biologically active and when diluted will start to decompose within 1-2 days. Diluted product should be used on the day of dilution. Irrigation lines should be flushed after application with plain water.

Vegetables: as a complete fertilising regime Suggested application rates are based on weekly intervals. Volumes given in this table refer to concentrated product. The concentrate must be diluted 50ml/L or 1:20 (1 part concentrate to 20 parts water) for either foliar or soil applications prior to use. For fortnightly applications, double the rate.
Crop	Weekly application rate/growth stage	Comment/Other nutrients

Peas Beans Melons Cucumber Pumpkins Sweet corn Tomatoes	7 ml/m² during all stages of growth as either foliar or soil application	After flowering to harvest apply 0.5 ml/m² of Moeco 85 at weekly intervals. Moeco 85 is not considered organic, but may be substituted with 0.7g/m² of potassium sulphate.
Cabbage Lettuce Sweet potatoes	8 ml/m²during all stages of growth as either foliar or soil application	Cabbage may need some extra sulphur. Potassium sulphate at a rate of 0.5g/m² will supply the extra need. About 100g will dissolve in 1L of water.
Shrubs Flowers	3 – 5 ml/m²	Use lower recommended dilution rate for delicate plants such as ferns and orchids.

Orchards, Vineyards, Miscellaneous Crops: as a complete fertilising regime Suggested application rates are based on weekly intervals. Volumes given in this table refer to concentrated product. The concentrate must be diluted 50ml/L or 1:20 (1 part concentrate to 20 parts water) for either foliar or soil applications prior to use.
Crop	Weekly application rate/growth stage	Comment/Other nutrients

Mangoes (NT & Nth Qld)	30 ml/tree per year of age of tree up to 300 ml. Apply from harvest to approx 1 month prior to flowering (late March to late April), as either soil or foliar application.	From flowering to harvest use Moeco 85 at a rate of 5 ml/tree per year of age of tree up to 50 ml OR Moeco 29 at 10 ml/tree per year of age of tree up to 100 ml at weekly intervals. After fruit set, Moeco Calcium Boron Gold at 3ml/tree per year of age of tree up to 30 ml at monthly intervals as foliar application.
Citrus Rambutan Abui Lychee Custard apple Five corner	30 ml/tree per year of age of tree up to 300 ml throughout all stages of growth as either foliar or soil application.	From fruit set to harvest, in addition to Moeco Bio Brew, apply Moeco 85 at 2 ml/tree per year of age of tree up to 20 ml at weekly intervals. After fruit set, Moeco Calcium Boron Gold at 3 ml/tree per year of age of tree up to 30 ml at monthly intervals as foliar application.
Pineapple Banana Tobacco Sugar cane	15 ml/m² during all growth stages as either foliar or soil application.	In addition to Moeco Bio Brew, apply Moeco 85 at 0.5 ml/m² at weekly intervals.
Passion Fruit	10–20 ml per vine, as either foliar or soil application.	Use the lower rate until flowering and the higher rate during flowering and fruiting.
Papaw	15-25 ml/tree until flowering and first sign of fruit set. Then 30-60 ml/tree, as either foliar or soil application.	Use 30 ml of Moeco Calcium Boron Gold, foliar application and 15 ml Moeco 85 once per month.
Vine Grapes	15 ml/vine per year of age of vine up to 300 ml, from bud burst to harvest. Use half the above amount after harvest to leaf drop, as either foliar or soil application.	It is important to keep fertilising until leaf drop. This ensures good nutrient storage for next season's crop.
Pome Stone Fruit	30 ml/tree per year of age of tree up to 300 ml, from bud burst buds until harvest. Use half the above amount after harvest to leaf drop as either foliar or soil application.	To prevent fruit split or bitter pit, from fruit set to harvest, apply Moeco Calcium Boron Gold at 10ml/tree per year of age of tree up to 100 ml at monthly intervals as foliar spray.
