Healthy plants grow better, are larger and stronger, have thicker, larger and darker-green leaves with a shine on them. They show no disease or insect damage, apart from perhaps a small hole where an insect took a bite and died from it. Their nutritional value to humans is higher, as indicated by Brix readings.
Plants become healthy when they have access to all the minerals they need, have enough water, sunlight and carbon dioxide, and are provided with a wide range of complex compounds by a diverse soil biology.
The Plant Health Pyramid shows the links between complete pant nutrition and plant health. It highlights the importance of a healthy soil biology in achieving truly healthy plants.
Feeding plants and the very complex soil biology with a natural supplementary fertiliser in the form of Sea Minerals, which has the widest possible range of minerals, has consistently shown good results in gardens, crops and pasture. Our commercial case studies indicated immediate and economically significant increases in income per hectare at little extra cost.
