Can I use Yates Anti Rot after just 2 weeks on Pittosporums?

I planted Pittosporums six weeks ago in garden bed, Then wettest Aug in years. Signs of root rot (wilting foliage tips) so I improved drainage as much as possible (soil has clay) and sprayed Yates Anti Rot two weeks ago. Plants recovered but now two months worth of rain again in a few days in Sept.
My Q - do I need to wait 3 weeks before spraying Yates Anti Rot again - or can I do so now? Pittosporums look ok (rain only stopped yesterday) - but I’m very concerned root rot may occur again.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @RobNewtown. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Yates Anti-Rot spray.

At what rate did you apply the solution? If you applied at the lower rate, then you should be fine to use it at the lower rate again. For ornamentals, you can apply every 4-6weeks. So, if you applied at the full rate, I'd give it another two weeks before doing so again.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Mitchell. I

I applied Anti Rot at recommended concentration 2 weeks ago (5ml per litre). I’m now loosening and aerating soil around the bases regularly with a garden fork to let it dry out - and possibly reapply the Anti Rot in a week or two if it looks necessary (eg. If I see signs of drooping again).

Again, much appreciated!
