"pga
plus" research at rutgers
protocol:
pga plus was applied at the rate of 2 ounces per 1000 square
feet at 14 day intervals. the applications started 3 weeks prior to inoculation
of the summer patch (magnaporthe pose) pathogen. the product was applied in the
evening and irrigated at the rate of 2 gallons per 1000 square feet. the trials
were conducted on baron kentucky bluegrass, which is highly susceptible to
summer patch. the product was only applied up until the second week of
august.

comments:
organica pga plus provided
definitive suppression of an active fungal pathogen (magnaporthe pose) on a
variety of turf (baron kentucky bluegrass) susceptible to that specific
pathogen. up until 2 weeks after the final application (8-12-99) pga plus
provided substantial suppression of the fungal pathogen.
pga plus is a microbial system
which provides the end user with a number of other benefits aside from disease
suppression. (solubilizes minerals into plant available forms, increases soil
buffering properties, naturally stimulates cell division, improves nutrient
absorption, stimulates root growth and formation, promotes nutrient recycling,
improves soil structure, production of growth hormones, enhances seed
germination and provides energy for plant metabolism). summarily pga/pga plus
provide plants with the necessary components to promote healthy growth and
reduce environmental stress. |
