What is the Actinovate, Exel LG and molasses Ratio per gallon?

[Dork Fish]

Hi eveyone,

I have searched the threads but cannot seem to find the ratio for this.

Can someone please answer this for me?

Here are my notes, mostly from Ami:


Exel LG -- gauge your application rate to the stage of growth your plants are in. With younger plants, start off with 1 tablespoon (1/2oz) per gallon and increase it as the plant grows.


Black Strap Molasses 1 teaspoon per gallon as a sticker. Use 1 cup of hot water to dissolve the molasses and add to the gallon of water/Exel solution.


Actinovate: For normal application use ½ -1 tsp per gallon of water. That is, 2 grams per gallon of water (or 1/2 teaspoon) is the recommended rate for the Actinovate solution, both for soil application and foliar spray.

I am a new member and have a fungus problem with my tomato plants here near the beach in Southern California. A friend recommended this site. I am going to try the Exel LG/Actinovate/Molasses solution. Maybe a dumb question but I want to make sure the three ingredients are mixed in the same one gallon of water? Thanks.

Im about 5 min away in Newport.

-Fill a sprayer with .5gal of warm water
-Measure molasses and drop in.
-Seal and shake.
-Measure out 1/2 tsp of Actinovate drop in
-Measure 3-5 tbls of Excel LG and drop in
-Fill to the 1gal mark.
-Seal and shake shake shake.
-SPRAY away and shake ever so often.

Do not spray in direct sun, I normally wake up Sat mornings and spray before 10am and its fine. You could also spray in the afternoon but I dont like the girls going to sleep wet.

Wow, thanks for the detailed step by step instructions. I wish you wrote the manuals for my cell phone, computer, TV, etc.!

Did you mean 3 - 5 tsp's of Excel?

Andrea, he means tablespoons of Exel as he wrote. Good luck with your mixture - it really works.

4 tbsp (2oz) of Excel LG (Plant Doctor) should be the maximum dosage per gallon of water for Tomatoes and Peppers. Read the directions for dosages and frequency of application for specific plants. Application on some plants are not to exceed a maximum number of applications per season. like Egg Plant and all Cucurbits (6 applications per season max)

Ray,
Any idea why there is a seasonal restriction for curcubits but not for tomatoes?

The cells of different species of plants may react differently to certain concentrations of the Phosphite ion which is a stable molecule within the plant. The Phosphite ion (P03) is not metabolized or readily oxidized in the plant tissue like the Phosphate anion (P04) is, so basically the Phosphite ion just sits there in the plant as it is for a very long time. Applying too much or too frequently causes it to build up in the plant tissue and can confuse the plant cells into sensing there is plenty of Phosphorus availability even when it's starved for Phosphorus. Don't apply Excel LG to a plant that is suffering from Phosphorous deficiency, it can make the problem much worse.

Good explanation, thanks.
Cations, anions, and bears oh my!
