Summer Survival Application Rates

Irrigate or rainfall after application with enough water to move product into the soil. For best results, apply in the early evening the day before you irrigate. The plant can take in some of these nutrients foliarly before being worked into the soil. Do not apply when outside temperatures are 85 degrees or warmer. Do not apply to dormant lawns until conditions improve.
Summer Survival Combo For Your Lawn
To kick things up a notch, you can combine 1-1.5 oz. of Summer Survival with 1/2 ounce of CalMag Organic per 1 gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Why?
Calcium (Ca) plays an important role in the plant’s cell walls and structural support. Building up the grasses cell walls will help fight off the stresses that summer brings – from funguses and diseases, to drought stress and heat damage.
And magnesium (Mg) is a necessary mineral for photosynthesis in plants. Without magnesium, grass blades would never retain their green color.
This is the perfect cocktail to make several days in advance to help the calcium dissolve. This CalMag + Summer Survival mix should be agitated and mixed well before application. You should also strain this mixture before dumping into your tank as any sediment may clog your sprayer.
All of these ingredients are proven to help against heat stress and drought. From strengthening the cell walls to promoting root development, to chelating and enhancing the soil to improve nutrient availability and uptake.
Use in conjunction with Aeration + Yucca, Thatch Eater, and Green Balance to help your lawn survive the summer.
