No diseases are expressing themselves on this whiteboard!

John Kempf describes Pinion™'s three modes of action in controlling disease:
1️⃣ Alters phyllosphere redox
2️⃣ Changes microbiome composition
3️⃣ Appears to trigger genetic expression of plant immunity (we're researching this to understand more).

This all makes Pinion unique: a product that's effective at controlling diseases, and fits perfectly into a regenerative system.

$Episode 167: Controlling Pests using Boron Instead of Insecticide with Jay Watts No insecticides. No pests. No problem! Jay Watte grows alfalfa and grasses for seed and forage in the dry, alkaline, and generally challenging environment of far southern California. Its been nearly 2 years since Jay has sprayed pesticides, but his pest pressure is a fraction of his neighbors. Instead Jay uses nutrient management, including hefty doses of boron, both soil-applied and foliar. If crops generally had adequate levels of boron . . . insecticide use would probably drop upwards of 80% across the entire industry. Learn some of Jays techniques in todays conversation with John Kempf, including: ➡️ The challenges of producing seed compared to forage ➡️ Reducing nitrogen to zero in certain fields ➡️ Improving alfalfa seed quality ➡️ Water management and irrigation challenges in a desert environment ➡️ Evolving management strategies to combat the rise in pest and disease pressure ➡️ Experiments with soil inoculations and cover crops 🎧 Listen: https://loom.ly/PAGVnu0$
