Results will vary.

Directions vs. Outcomes
All directions and rates are guides only. They do not guarantee a particular result. The user must determine suitability for their purpose, site, season and equipment.

Compatibility & small scale testing
Before full scale use

Perform a jar test and a small strip/plot test for crop safety and compatibility with other inputs;

• Verify spray water pH and quality; and
• Calibrate application equipment.

User responsibility

Storage & Handling

General

• Store sealed, upright, out of direct sun, in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.
• Ideal storage temperature 10–25 °C. Avoid >30 °C and freezing.
• Keep away from alkaline products, oxidisers/sanitisers (e.g., bleach), and food/animal feed.

Container & materials

• Compatible: HDPE/PP/PVC tanks and lines, EPDM/Viton gaskets, poly or stainless fittings.
• Avoid long contact with unlined mild steel, galvanised or copper/brass.
• Leave headspace in drums/IBCs for thermal expansion. Use vented bungs if temps fluctuate.

Shelf life

• Unopened, stored as directed: 12 months typical
• After opening: use within 6 months. Reseal tightly after each use.
• Natural settling is normal, mix/recirculate before decanting.

Stability & appearance

• Product is naturally acidic (3.8–4.5 Ph).
• A light surface film (pellicle) may form after opening. This is cosmetic, skim if desired and strain before use.

Handling & decanting

• Do not pre mix with other products for storage. Only combine in the spray tank after jar tested.
• When transferring, strain through 100–150 µm mesh to remove fines.
• Minimise high shear recirculation, mix then spray rather than churning for hours.
• Open closures slowly to vent any built up CO₂ in warm weather.

Mix water & tank prep

• Use clean, low chlorine water. If using chlorinated supply, let it stand or carbon filter first.
• For best performance, adjust spray tank to pH 5–6 before adding product.
• Mix order: Water (¾ tank) → Pasture Mate Plus → other compatibles → top up water → oils last. Jar test first

Segregation & stacking

• Store away from alkalis (e.g., potassium silicate) and strong carbonate powders.
• Keep pallets stable and strapped, follow your packaging supplier’s stacking limits.
• Protect from puncture, keep bungs/caps clean to prevent cross contamination.

Transport

• Secure containers upright with closures tightened; protect from heat and sun.
• Avoid transporting pre-diluted mixes. Refer to the SDS for transport classification and emergency info.

Spill management

• Contain with absorbent (sand/vermiculite). Collect into labelled container for disposal per local regulations.
• Wash area with water, prevent entry to drains/waterways. Add small rinses to the next spray tank if allowed.

Container cleaning & disposal

• Triple-rinse empties; add rinseate to next tank mix.
• Recycle containers where facilities exist or dispose in accordance with local rules.
• If sanitising tanks, avoid bleach residues, use a citric acid rinse, then flush thoroughly.

Quality control (producer or depot)

• Record Batch No., Brew/Fill Date, pH on label.
• Re-check pH monthly on stored bulk; if pH rises >4.5, investigate contamination and re-acidify only if necessary.
