How do different soil types and pH influence the efficacy of Profile 2SC?
Heavy clay soils, acidic soils with a pH less than 4.0 and soils with heavy organic matter are more binding and will lead to slower uptake. These soils shorten the length of time growth reduction occurs and require higher application rates. Sandy soils, on the other hand, allow for quick uptake of Profile 2SC into the tree and will increase the length of time growth reduction occurs. Lower application rates may be necessary with sandy soils. Finally, soil type can affect treatment method selection as well. For example, compacted soils that make digging difficult may require soil injection in lieu of basal drench. Visit the Application page for more information.
