Foliar fertilization is fast becoming an essential addition to standard cultivation techniques. For many growers who have grown up with chemicals, it is a small step to organic fertilization, the NPK is just packaged differently. However, there is another less well known aspect to plant cultivation based on biology rather than chemistry, the realm of the microbes. The microbes digest the nutrients into organic compounds that can be easily taken in by the plant. These same microbes colonize on the surface of the leaves to help fight off disease. Plants like to dine on biologically pre-digested nutrients; it is easier for them to assimilate. Healthy plants have a strong immune system that includes a ‘bio-film’ of microbial life on the roots, stems and leaves. When you foliage apply BioGrow 365 you envelope the plant with living organisms.
The results can be astounding; large, mineral rich vegetation with clear glossy leaves, de-creased disease, and even lessen insect attacks. Plants will have higher ‘Brix’ levels, a measure of the carbohydrates and mineral density in the sap. High Brix is said to make plants less attractive to pests and more resilient to stress. Your fruit and vegetables will taste even better. The microbe rich droplets drip off the leaves to improve soil health. Once you see the results, you will never neglect this method of plant care again.
