Be careful what you ask for; it has arrived. It’s white outside. Old wounds have been telling we’ll be digging and shoveling again soon.

Our environments and seasons do seem to be in a state of flux. Cold snaps, drought spells and heat waves strike when least expected. Farmers, especially, are faced with ever greater unpredictability regarding weather patterns. Crop survival and yields are often threatened by such weather variables.

In South Africa, many years ago, we were examining a dry land wheat field that had been foliar sprayed with EkloGrow(r) Kelp Plant Stimulant. These plants not only survived a medium term drought spell but also yielded an acceptable harvest while the neighboring field, the non-treated camp, was bone dry and dead; not a kernel was harvested. 

This clearly illustrated the benefits of larger, deeper rooting systems obtained with the Ecklonia Kelp foliar spray at 1 qt /acre. The improved nutrient and moisture uptake capabilities thus obtained made the difference between growth and yield and premature senescence.

Crop insurance companies should take a close, hard look at the benefits and low costs of EkloGrow Ecklonia Kelp Plant Growth Stimulant. They stand to significantly gain from reduced crop pay-outs; no doubt about it!

Take it easy with the snow shovel.  SP
