What are Plant Biostimulants?

A plant biostimulant contains substances and/or microorganisms that stimulate natural plants processes.

Having worked within a nursery growing crops as pesticide free as possible, we started to use a more holistic approach to treating pests and disease around the nursery. Working closely with our suppliers, we came up with a programme used to treat all crops throughout the year.

​

Using 3 different products that work together to either promote the plants self defence into thinking they've been attacked, along with coating the leaf surface to repel spores and microbes plus they contain essential nutrients. The results used have been amazing compared to previous years where either nothing has been used. 

​

There are two forms of treatment- microbial and non-microbial. We use biostimulants that are found with plants to help give them a well needed boost during times of stress. Invigorators are biological (not chemical) and work by removing the problem off the plant and encouraging plants to increase there own self defence. Plus they are environmentally friendly and can be used on many flowers, fruit and veg. These are generally preventative and depending what option chosen, can be either applied as 1 or multiple applications.
