| What are Biostimulants?
These are living organisms or
extracts from living things that can either help protect plants from disease or
invigorate growth. They include powdered live forms of mycorrhizal fungi (ecto-
and endo-), beneficial fungi (Gliocladium, Tricoderma), and
root-colonizing bacteria (Streptomycetes, Bacillus, Pseudomonas). They
also include such things as yucca extracts (wetting agent), kelp, humates,
protein hydrolysates, and glutens which provide slow release forms of nitrogen.
Certain pests can be controlled with chili pepper spray and garlic tea. Artistic
Arborist is going main stream with these items as safe, reliable and money
saving alternatives to conventional pesticide and ag chemical treatments. Give
them a try.
