Welcome to the Biologix Newsletter for Jan 2023 Summer is here and so begins one of the most challenging seasons for most NZ growers and farmers. With the fast drying conditions, high UV and high temperatures, many plants find this a highly stressed time of year. Soil health is comprised if allowed to be bare of cover for any significant length of time, it's never more harmful than over the next 3 months. All these stress factors increase the chances that your plant will suffer pest and disease attacks. Plants that are growing out of season will be more vunerable....

Properly designed foliar applications are one of the most effective tools to rapidly build soil organic matter and regenerate soil health.

Yes, you read that correctly. Properly designed foliar applications harness the plant’s photosynthetic engine, accelerate carbon sequestration and build soil organic matter more rapidly than almost any other management tool.

First of all, one must understand at some level that insects do not attack healthy plants. Many people know this instinctively, but few have been told this explicitly. It is for this reason that knowing your leaf Brix levels is crucial to knowing your crop, whatever you may be growing. High Brix (14 and above) means not just that insects will not attack a given plant but that they will not even be attracted to the plant. In short, pest insects will pass over a high Brix field.
