The times of application are determined by whether the tea-liquid-manure is to be applied as a preventive measure or in an acute case. According to Rudolf Steiner's indication, it is primarily a prophylactic measure. The tea-liquid-manure works through the soil and, under conditions of excessive, persistently moist and watery conditions, reduces the fungal pressure on the plants. From this standpoint, it is advisable to apply the tea-liquid-manure over the entire agricultural and horticultural farm area at 100 l/ha, ideally on an annual cycle. Ideally this would happen three to four times a year: in late winter through to spring (March), in summer, and in autumn through to early winter (November). In any case, within the framework of crop rotation, crops particularly susceptible to fungal attack — such as cereals and certain root crops — should receive the preventive treatment. Direct spraying into the stands in acute cases, often in combination with stinging nettle liquid manure, can substantially contain the infestation. It is a measure that combats the infestation. The preventive treatment through the soil ensures that outbreaks are countered at their beginnings.
