• [T1] Grower Standard (GS)

• [T2]  GS + CYAN 365® (soil application)

• 8 Fl.Oz of Cyan 365 (concentration) is required for a tank of 35 gallons (4,480 Fl.Oz).

• 12 Fl.Oz of solution per tree is required to treat 373 trees in this study. (2 Years old tree)

• For a recommended rate of 1/2 Pint per acre of Cyan 365®: It shall equates to a concentration rate of about 0.2% of Cyan 365 in your solution.

Total product material needs for this trial:

• • 1.25 Quart per Acre is the total quantity required for this program (0.3125 Gal) 

• • 5 applications during the growing crop season at the rate of 1/2 pint per acre (8 Oz)

Agronomic details for this trial:

• • Orange tree, Vernia variety (type of Valencia) 

• • 1 year old tree transplanted in commercial field on April 1st, 2019

• • Planted North to South in  Wauchula, FL, USA

• • Spacing 8Ft x 20Ft with a TPA of 272

• • Plot size was 7 trees long (56 Ft)

• • Treatments replicated 4 times

• • Treatments were initiated in 2019 and continued in 2020.
• • Soil drench treatments were applied with a standard admire rig.
• • In 2020, each tree received 12 ounces of treatment water at every application
• • In 2019, only 8 ounces instead of treatment solution applied per application.
• • Grower Std was: Soluble fertilizer (20-20-20) at 5 Lbs per 100 Gals of water.
• • Foliar applications were made with a carbon dioxide powered back-pack sprayer using a single flat fan spray tip (8002 VS)
• • Foliar treaments were mixed at a rate per 100 gals of water and sprayed until foliage canopy dripped wet with run-off.
• • At season's end, tree measurements were conducted to determine the effects on growth.
• On 03rd of January 2021, the canopy height and width were measured to calculate the canopy volume.
• Trunk diameter was measured with a digital caliper, 1 inch above the bud union
• Root growth was sampled by using a Turf Tec SPS3-S soil profile sampler.
• The soil probe extracted a profile sample of 11 inches deep, 3 inches wide, and 0.5 inch thick (16.5 inches3 or 269 cm3)
• Four soil cores from each tree was collected 18 inches from the trunk base and combined in aggregate per tree.
• Soil profiles were rinsed in water using a screen mesh strainer and then plant material  was dried and weighed
