NZLA Application Guide
NZLA’s application guide is essential for lawn addicts everywhere. It’s widely used by our customers across New Zealand and includes easy to follow instructions on the optimal application rates for our products and when to use them, including granular fertilisers, foliar feeders and insecticide treatments.
All products should be applied a minimum of 6 hours after mowing, when temperatures do not exceed 25°C.
Avoid mowing for 24 hours after application.
If products don't state irrigation after application below or on the label then they are foliar feeds and are left on the plant. Apply to dry foliage.
