2. Set plant and Vita-Band “D” in furrow 
VITA-BAND 10 for short growing periods. 
Will usually contain root growth up to approxi- 
mately 8 to 10 weeks. Nutrient-treated with 
quickly available plant food ... your judgment 
determines need for additional feeding. Vita- 
Band 10 is identical to Vita-Band ‘'D"” except Vita-Band 
10 is removed at time of transplant. Vita-Band "D" is not.

Band. Do not remove Vita-Band "“D” when 
transplanting. Band disintegrates in the soil

plant band designed to contain root growth for 
long growing periods.
