GARDEN FORMULAS

Potent adaptogenic herbal supplements for plants.

Application

Soil Drench: Dilute the extracts in water and apply directly to the soil around the plant roots.

Foliar Spray: Apply as foliar sprays, allowing plants to absorb the beneficial compounds through their leaves.

Compost Tea: Mix the extracts with compost tea and apply to the soil to boost microbial activity and nutrient availability.

Benefits

Adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms, traditionally used in human health for their stress-relieving properties, are increasingly being explored for their potential benefits in agriculture.

Stress Resistance
Adaptogens help plants to cope with various stressors such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures. For example, herbs known for their stress-relieving properties in humans offer similar benefits to plants.

Growth Promotion
Certain adaptogenic herbs can promote growth and improve crop yields. For instance, extracts from adaptogenic plants may contain phytohormones that stimulate growth processes in crops.

Soil Health
Adaptogenic plants might improve soil health through their root exudates, which can enhance microbial activity and nutrient availability. This is beneficial for the overall growth environment of crops.

Pest and Disease Resistance
The compounds in adaptogenic herbs can also help plants resist pests and diseases. Adaptogens can boost the immune response of plants, making them more resilient to infections and infestations.
