ADVICE

Overwhelm Club Root With Microbes

Use chitinase-producing Bacillus blends and compost extracts to reduce club root spore viability and overwhelm the pathogen with microbial biomass.
Graeme names Microforce (five Bacillus species) and recommends on-farm brewing or seed dips for seedlings.

INSIGHT

Aminos Are Metabolism And Phytonutrient Engines

Amino acids are more than foliar N; they are enzyme and secondary metabolite precursors that boost photosynthesis, stress tolerance, and phytonutrient production.
Graeme highlights specific roles like osmoprotection (proline) and precursors to phenolics and alkaloids.

INSIGHT

How Aminos Improve Nutrient Delivery

Amino acids enhance nutrient uptake by chelation, root stimulation, membrane sensitization, and improved phloem/xylem transport.
Graeme singles out glycine for superior chelation and glycine-chelated calcium to move otherwise immobile calcium.

In this compelling episode of the Nutrition Farming Podcast, host Graham Sait dives deep into the principles of regenerative agriculture, nutrient density, and microbial solutions for sustainable farming. With expert insights and engaging discussions, this episode offers practical strategies to boost soil health, crop resilience, and farm profitability.

In episode 4 of Series 5, we feature a fascinating interview with Dan Kittredge, the US farmer/educator with some important sharing's. Dan has been traveling the world of late sharing his regenerative insights and updating farmers and consumers about a game changing technology soon to be available. This episode, entitled, “Amazing Aminos - The Rewards of Resilience” features an in-depth look at the profound roles of amino acids in plant productivity/protection, and farm profitability. The biological focus in this episode covers the potential of on-farm multiplication of the multifunction marvel, pseudomonas florescens. There is a healthy dose of my humour , along with the, “Ask Gman”, segment where I respond to your questions.
