Hi Milky,OO...you ever hear of japanese knotweed being used for isr or to increase essential oil production?
I can dig out some emails from canna, but I believe it's long step fermented product? All I know is it takes a long time for them to make the product, hence I think some of the price tag
didn't they claim it was also some tropical rainforest plant in there???
what I did find in my email..
"Boost, and its mineral counterpart, is based on the same thing. A little mineral charge is given to increase performance in the Canna Boost. Both start out and are composed of a fermentation product that really provides no additional nutrients. It is an engineered product that stimulates or, rather, acts as a stress indicator for the plant. No actual stress occurs but the plant thinks it is, much like a vaccine will do for animals, and is a positive stress. The plant them responds to the stress by increasing its immune response. This immune response bolsters the natural products produced by plants that help it ward off the effects of a pathogen or physical damage. Things such as alkaloids are defense mechanisms for plants and are enhanced. So, basically 2 things happen: the plant will express better resistance to disease and will show heightened production of natural protectants made by the plant, hence the smell. Additionally the plant will tend to increased branching on sl!
ightly shorter plants and exhibit more even and earlier harvest; earlier is measured in a few days in reality as this is the measure used in the horticultural world."
Depends, if it's the free base, then you have to add also an acid as I mentioned before. If you have the salt form, like chitosan lactate or hydrochloride, then adding plain water is enough.so using agricultural grade Chitosan in a foilar, do we need to add anything else as mentioned earlier or just the chitosan and water? thanks - bill
It's not the same and it doesn't work as well....Colloidal Chitosan.... Would this work the same way as the Chitosan Oligosaccharide?...
Quoi? En français, s'il te plaît!C Lear with pic with and not?
It's not the same and it doesn't work as well.
The latter contains usually between 1 and 10 monomers per oligomer and 20 at the most whereas colloidal chitosan, as the name implies it isn't really soluble but forms 'particulates' in solution, consist of high molecular weight polymer chains (hundreds to thousands of monomers per chain). BTW another readily soluble chitosan type consists of medium weight chains of 20 to 100 monomers. This and the oligomers are biologically more active than the cheap colloidal high MW type which you could fabricate in your kitchen using shrimp shells (cockroaches and zophobas would work too, should you be an acolyte of entomophagy), some potassium hydroxide pellets, and a cooking pot .
