Orchards, Vineyards,
Miscellaneous Crops: as a
complete fertilising regime
Please note: Suggested application rates are based on weekly
intervals.
Volumes given in this table refer to concentrated
product. The concentrate must be diluted depending on the method
of application (see table above) prior to use.
Important: Moeco 30 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.

Mangoes
(NT & Nth Qld)
|
10 ml/tree per year of age of tree
up to 100 ml. Apply from harvest to approx 2 months prior to flowering (late
February to late March), 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 |
10 ml/tree
per year of age of tree up to 75 ml throughout all stages of growth as either
foliar or soil application. |
In addition, 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 |
2.0 ml/m2 during all growth stages as either foliar or
soil application. |
In addition, apply Moeco 85 at 0.5 ml/m2 at weekly
intervals and Moeco Calcium Boron Gold at 2
ml/m2, foliar application once per month. |
| Passion Fruit |
5-10 ml
per vine, as either foliar or soil application. |
Use the
lower rate until flowering. Use the higher rate during flowering and
fruiting plus Moeco 85 at 1 ml/vine per week. |
Papaw
|
6-10 ml/tree until
flowering and first sign of fruit set. Then 15-25 ml/tree, as either
foliar or soil application. |
In addition, apply Moeco Calcium Boron Gold
at 20 ml/tree once per month, foliar application plus Moeco 85 at 15 ml/tree
once per month. |
Vine
Grapes
|
3.5 ml/vine
per year of age of vine up to 50 ml, from bud burst to leaf drop. Use
half the above amount after harvest 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
|
12 ml/tree per year of age of
tree up to 100 ml, from bud burst buds until leaf drop. Use half the
above amount after harvest 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

tree up to 20 ml at weekly intervals. |
Peas
Beans
Melons
Cucumber
Pumpkins
Sweet corn
