    The use was described in the original advice. Gave advice for invasive insect detection & on a pineapple plant treated with Citric Acid 3.2pH & Iron-EDDHA, to stimulate recovery from cold & production of Chlorophyll-A. It is recovering & growing. I suggested the use of 430nm Exotic hyper-violet...

    UVA (315-400 nm), UVB (280-315 nm), UVC (100-280 nm). 'Hyperviolet' aka 'Actinic Violet' 430nm, Is at a frequency that Chlorophyll-A absorbes. Hyperviolet makes Chlorophyll-A glow! Some people use them as grow lights. They are very effective as Chlorophyll-A concentration detection tools...

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    PawPaw Asimina triloba? Or papaya? Seeds from which cultivars? how are they doing? As for apples from seeds, if it was self fruitful like Granny Smith & self pollinated, then a higher probability of good fruit. If it isn't self fertile or a Crabtree apple tree was used for fertilization or if it...

    Mystery Plant

    Has it bloomed yet? Looks similar to Nerium or Twist of Pink Oleander. Excess Potassium can cause young leaves to be a transparent pink.

    Copper fungicide

    Very toxic chromated copper arsenate usually. The problem with that poison is that it is not toxic to earthworms & as it leaches into surrounding things, the worms eat & distribute the poison. Borax is Sodium-TetraBorate. It's less concentrated than Boric acid, more water soluble, less toxic...

    Copper fungicide

    Greens very high in Chlorophyll-A generally are very rich in organic Copper as a food source. For fungicide, manufacturers look for toxic forms. I have experimented with Copper Citrate as a fungicide & it is far more toxic to plants, than microbes! Organic chemicals made by Copper enzymes in...

    Copper fungicide

    Boron leaches at high (pH & temperature) & precipitates at low pH & low temperature. Boron is a co-catalyst to (Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium & Sodium), as well as Gibberellins, Auxins, Cytokinins, Abscisic acid, Ethylene. It is just as easy to accidentally have an Abscisic acid reaction as an...

    Copper fungicide

    I recommend that you never put any Boron products in the soil. Environment is getting hotter & dryer. Boron which enters through the roots primarily ends up at the stomata. Boron acts as a co-catalyst to Magnesium at hyperventilating the stomata! Excess Boron in the soil can very quickly kill...

    Copper fungicide

    These are safe directions. StollerUSA's Sugar Mover is 70% Boric Acid, 26% Borax, 3% Urea, 1% Sodium Molybdate & hormones. Their mixture recommendation is 48 times as strong. They mostly sell to cool humid places with heavy rain for crops that require a lot of Boron. My recommendation is safe...

    So far Behind 'Times'

    I said Hy Dudes, "Use of exotic Hyper-Violet flashlight" I didn't say ultraviolet. Hyper-Violet is tuned to the frequency that causes Chlorophyll-A to glow yellow green. Anything that eat a lot of Chlorophyll-A should glow. ultraviolet is for finding scorpions & centipedes.

    Copper fungicide

    No it unfortunately can't be done that way! Most Boron salts dramatically transition water solubility with temperature, pH, light exposure, ion exchanges & microbial activities. Boron dramatically increases microbial activities of some microbes & suppresses activities of others. It is also a...

    Let's talk about Chop-and-Drop?

    The effectiveness of chop & drop depends upon how balenced soil micronutrients are. Test soil, then balance micronutrients & pH if they are off. Then chop & drop will be far more effective.
