What this protocol is for

Corrective actions for rainfall events during active grow-out. Three rainfall categories are defined by duration, each with specific MinGro and FytoGro dosages. Feeding reduction and aeration recommendations vary by rainfall intensity.

Main Objective

Counteract mineral dilution and phytoplankton stress caused by rainfall events using targeted mineral and phytoplankton support products.

02

When to use this protocol

All pond types, both species, grow-out phase during rainy season
