Vitazyme
application: After planting on February 22, 50 ml of a
0.002% Vitazyme solution was applied to the soil surface of each pot
for Treatment 2. This application was equal to the amount of
Vitazyme contained in the Granusol-Mn* of Treatment 4.
*Granusol-Mn
is a sucrate carboxylate containing a simple carbohydrate binder,
together with various minerals (Mn, 35%; CaO, 11%; Fe, 4%; SO3,
0.8%; Zn, 0.3%), with granules able to quickly break down in water to
supply nutrients to plants. Producer: American Minerals,
Dunedin, Florida.
