We recommend using the following rates of application:

• Row Crops: 2-10 ton/acre depending on soil type. This is a one time application if you till less than 6". If Tillage exceeds 6" 1 or 2 additional applications will be necessary to keep the Z-Olite in the root growth zone. This will be all the application necessary since the Z-Olite is a rock and doesn't wear down with time.
  

Preferred Rates of Application of Z-Olite to turf grasses:

1. Mix 70-150 lb Z-Olite per 1000 sq. ft. of topsoil. Tilling to 1-4” gives the turf's roots a chance to have the most accessibility to the Z-Olite particles.
   
   
2. Spread 70-150 lb Z-Olite per 1000 sq. ft. on ground before sod arrives. This puts Z-Olite right in the root growth zone.
   
   
3. Apply 50 -100 lb of Z-Olite per 1000 sq. ft. on the surface of the sod/grass as a top-dressing. Top-dressing is effective, and eventually the Z-Olite will be incorporated into the soil. This is still a one-time application.
   
   

• Add 10-20% Z-Olite to sand, by volume, being prepared for greens/tees. This increases the water permeability significantly. It also increases the porosity in both the capillary (water-filled) and non-capillary (air-filled) porosities. Water retention is increased, bulk density is decreased and surface properties are unchanged.
  
  
• Seeded grass germinates and establishes faster. Health of the turf and roots is visually evident. Fluctuations in color and leaf textures are much less with Z-Olite. Speed of establishment, and long term performance improvements will save time, money, and water.

• Mix 10-20% Z-Olite, by volume, to soil and till 1-6".
  
• Spread evenly around tree bases under bark after planting.

• For PTO or powered spreaders:
  1. -8+14 Z-Olite spreads the most evenly.
     
  2. -14+40 works also.
  
  
• -14+40 and -8+14 Z-Olite work equally well with hand spreaders.
  
• Mix with a shovel or skidsteer loader to achieve volume ratios.
