Molasses provides a readily metabolisable carbon and energy source that can be utilised by most organisms. Low rates (2 L/ha) can be effective in stimulating most groups of microbes and in particular fermenters like lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. However, being quickly utilised, it will provide only a short-term benefit unless other actions have been taken to improve the soil environment.
Typical Fertigation Application Rates 2 to 10 L/ha Apply toward the end of the irrigation shift.
