Piranha - Piranha is a dry powder concentrate of assorted super-strains of mycorrhizae. Piranha contains Trichoderma and Glomus species that are bred specifically for their symbiotic abilities.These symbiotic fungi grow into and around root tissue. By doing so they protect roots from pathogens.The symbiosis between Piranha’s mycorrhizae involves the exchange of minerals from the soil for sugars from the plant. The symbiotic fungi in Piranha should be allowed to grow with your plants from the start of each crop. This way they enhance growth of plant tissues continuously, promoting all aspects of yield and quality. |

Tarantula - This is a dry powdered concentrate of beneficial bacteria.Tarantula contains symbiotic super-strains of Pseudomonas, bacillus and Actinomycetes that immediately form symbioses with plant tissue.The microbes in Tarantula will live inside plant tissues, in roots, stems and leaves where they secrete various plant growth hormones (such as cytokinins). Growth ‘upstream’ of these symbiotic bacteria is greatly enhanced as they continually “trickle feed” plant hormones into the sap of their hosts. Branching frequency increases and growth of fruits swells as a result.These symbiotic bacteria also prevent pathogenic species from growing in and around host plants, and symbiotically they also promote the growth of mycorrhizal fungi. |

Scorpion Juice - Scorpion Juice is a proprietary formulation of salicylic acid and chitosan. Scorpion Juice induces plant tissues to become “immunized” before they are exposed to an attacking pest. The ingredients in Scorpion Juice will induce all plant cells to make defence proteins that can attack and degrade insect and fungal pathogens, BEFORE and pathogens attack. This is called Induced Systemic Resistance or ISR. Scorpion juice is most effective when applied as a foliar spray, but root cells will also respond to Scorpion Juice by aquiring ISR. |

Barricade - Barricade is a preparation of potassium silicate; silicon is an element that many species of plant will accumulate in the form of SiO2, or “silicate”. Many plant species are “silicon accumulators” and if SiO2 is present they will have up to 10% of their dry weight consist of SiO2.Any species of plant that makes trichomes will accumulate SiO2 (eg Cucumbers and tomato). Trichomes are the shiny, clear “hairs” or glands on stems, flowers and leaves of these plants; they are made of silicates and carbonates.SiO2 promotes plant immunity; silicates deposit in plant cell walls and physically repel pests. Silicate rich plant tissues also have enhanced immune responses; SiO2 promotes the plant’s “Hypersensitive response” when attacked by a pest. |

Protector - Protector will combat the incidence and spread of powdery mildew.Advanced Nutrients fashioned Protector after the famous “Bordeaux Mix” used for centuries in preventing this fungus from affecting grape crops.Protector contains a proprietary formulation of chelated copper and potassium bicarbonate. This mixture is anti-fungal for many pest species, especially powdery mildew. |
