BioPollenAid® Mixing Instructions

BioPollenAid® was developed by Kiwi Pollen specifically to meet the
requirements of organic orchards. The BioPollenAid® is a twin pack mix - one red pack, one white pack

Mixing Instructions

  1. Measure the desired quantity of deionised water based on recommended mixing rates and add to Kiwi Pollen Mixer.
  2. Shake the white pack to disperse the white ‘powder.’ Add 20ml per litre of water to the deionised water.
  3. Shake the red pack and add 20ml per litre of water to the water/PollenAid mix
  4. Add the appropriate amount of thawed pollen to the surface of the BioPollenAid® medium.
  5. Turn the Kiwi Pollen Mixer on and stir for 10 minutes, ensuring the pollen is evenly dispersed. 8 to 10 minutes is needed to completely re-hydrate the pollen
  6. Add marker dye to the PollenAid® suspension medium after the pollen is mixed (optional).
    Mix the BioPollenAid® and water vigorously for 1 hour before adding any pollen.

Notes:

  • All equipment that comes into contact with pollen or any liquids used must be clean stainless steel or new food-grade plastic.
  • Use only deionised water that has been stored in new food grade plastic drums
  • Pollen in liquid suspension remains viable for up to 1 hour only.
  • Hydrated pollen cannot be pumped or subjected to high pressure as the outer membrane is easily damaged.
  • Store BioPollenAid® in the fridge once opened.
