temperature stress.
AMINO ACIDS – Specifc translocation agents.
ANTIOXIDANTS – Required to reduce free radical tissue damage.

Professional Use Guidelines
COMPATIBILITY: Astron is tank mix compatible with many nitrogen solutions. Standard jar test when in doubt.
Astron contains a very high solids content, therefore needs to be shaken intensely to insure a homogeneous mixture.

METHODS OF APPLICATION: Apply with any equipment that delivers an even mist to the turf. Astron should be
applied with spray volumes of no more than 350 litres per hectare. Spray volumes over 350 litres per hectare reduce
product effectiveness. Do not water in. Wait at least 3 hours to irrigate.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Applications can be made at any point during the growing season to produce desirable
results. Ideally, applications should begin early in the growing season and continue on a regular 10 to 14 day spray
interval. Scheduled applications in conjunction with proper soil nutrition are effective in producing turf that exhibits
excellent colour without excessive top growth. Apply at the rate of 5 to 10 litres per hectare throughout the growing
season.
