substances derived from plants and plant materials.
ASSET RTU is used in combination with other soil and
nutrient formulations to strengthen germination, emergence and
development of a strong root system. It is useful in promoting
colonization by mycohorrizal fungi and stimulating secondary
root growth. To maximize the efficacy of the ASSET RTU, it should
be placed in a manner to contact existing roots or developing
roots. It can be applied to the surface of the soil and watered
into the soil profile. It is recommended to be mixed with fertilizer
and is compatible with most nutrient solutions.
ASSET RS is used in combination with other soil and
nutrient formulations to strengthen germination, emergence and
development of a strong root system. It is useful in promoting
colonization by mycohorrizal fungi and stimulating secondary
root growth. To maximize the efficacy of the ASSET RS, it should
be placed in a manner to contact existing roots or developing
roots. It can be applied to the surface of the soil and watered
into the soil profile. It is recommended to be mixed with fertilizer
and is compatible with most nutrient solutions.
BINARY CQ is loaded with enzymes, proteins, vitamins,
organic acids, polysaccharides and other crop enhancing compounds.
This new foliar nutrient is designed to improve crop quality
by increasing the size and quality of your fruit.

Hydra-Hume AN is a 6% humic acid formulation containing
seaweed extract derived for Ascophyllum nodosum. It is designed
to provide available food for the development of beneficial
soil fungi. It provides soil microorganisms a source of complex
sugars and proteins on which to feed. Hydra-Hume AN is compatible
with other soil management products and can be applied through
the irrigation water or sprayed directly on the soil.
Hydra-Hume Plus is a 5% humic acid formulation containing
simple sugars and micro nutrients derived from molasses. It
is designed to provide available food for the development of
beneficial soil bacteria. Hydra-Hume Plus is compatible with
other soil management products and can be applied through the
irrigation water or sprayed directly on the soil.
Saponyn is a concentrated natural extract from Yucca
schidigera. It contains 20% Sapponin, a natural wetting agent
that can be used to improve soil penetration. It can be an excellent
tool to manage excess salt in the soil and provides a food source
for soil microbial populations. Saponyn is used to reduce the

Inoculants |
|
Estecol is a liquid soil inoculant containing
a broad spectrum of beneficial microorganisms common to most soils.
It is an effective tool in establishing acceptable baseline levels
of bacteria in the soil. Estecol is formulated with species of
"helper" bacteria, which assist in making conditions
favorable for fungal development. It contains strains that are
"salt tolerant" and can be used in programs to manage
excessive soil salinity. Estecol is a stable liquid that can be
handled in bulk and delivered to the soil in the irrigation water
or fertilizer.
Myco-Vam comes in two formulations:
1) Myco-VAM Granular inoculum contains three species of vesicular
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. This formulation is a soil inoculum
that can be utilized in several different types of applications.
2) Myco-VAM Bare Root is a root dip inoculum specifically designed
for use with all woody plantsexcept ericoids (Azalea, Rhododendron,
Bluebeerries and Heather). Myco-VAM Bare Root contains three
species of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Myco-VAM
Bare Root contains ASSET RS, extract of kelp, co-polymers of
acrylamide and humic acids.
Myco-Sol Soil Drench Inoculum contains beneficial ecto-
and endomycorrhizal fungi which greatly expand the surface absorbing
area of plant root systems allowing greater access to soil nutrients
and water, while protecting plants from environmental stress.
MYCO-SOL Soil Drench Inoculum contains specifically selected
mycorrhizal species in combination with humic and kelp extracts
that increase plant productivity, quality and sustainability.

RS, extract of kelp, copolymers of acrylamide and humic acids.
Bio-Yield Since 1989, a sustained research effort, has
demonstrated that certain naturally occurring beneficial bacteria
can promote plant growth and resistance to disease. These bacteria,
referred to as PGPR (plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria) can
colonize the roots of most plants. The benefits that they provide
to the plant are early growth promotion, increased vigor, earlier
flowering, improved quality and quantity of yield. Bio-Yield
Concentrate contains two of these PGPR strains and is designed
for application in the greenhouse on tomatoes and peppers. This
initiates the process and the benefits can be seen both in the
greenhouse as well as when the plant is taken to the field.
BioYield Concentrate is designed for batch-mix operations and
should be combined with the other components of the final planting
mix. Equipment that will thoroughly mix the components into
a uniform composition should be used.

Fumigant |
|
Enzone is a water-soluble soil fumigant designed to manage
phylloxera and Armillaria (oak root fungus) on grapes,
Phytophthora on citrus, and a wide range of nematodes
on grapes, citrus, deciduous trees, and vegetables. This soil
fumigant is environmentally sound in that it is delivered to the
target with the irrigation water in a metered doasage of parts
per million (ppm). It changes from a liquid form into a gas (carbon
disulfide) and dissipates within 48 hours. Carbon disulfide is
a naturally occuring gas that comes from the decomposition of
organic matter. Enzone achieves its control by raising the level
of CS2 in the soil to a toxic level.
