Help your plants achieve their greatest potential by applying Am 120 Standard mycorrhizal inoculant. Contains 100% Glomus intraradice. This mycorrhizal fungus has been thoroughly tested and found to be effective in plant establishment and growth enhancement as well as being adaptive to widely varying growing conditions.

Glomus intraradices has been used successfully throughout a broad range of environments from boreal sites in northern Canada to tropical sites in South America. Trials conducted by the USGS on a broad range of native western plant species determined that Glomus intraradices either improved germination or increased biomass development in over 70% of the species tested.

How Does it Work?

Mycorrhizal fungi, or mycorrhiza, are specialized fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plants. Their very name describes the role these fungi play. “Myco” means fungus while “rhiza” means root. This “fungus root” makes its home in and on the roots of 90% of all plant species. Mycorrhiza acts as extensions of the plant’s root system, making roots more efficient at absorbing water and nutrients. Just as the lining of our small intestine is covered with millions of microscopic finger-like villus, mycorrhiza form hyphae which line plant roots, increasing the surface area of the root up to 1,000 times. Not only do mycorrhizal fungi boost the plant’s vigor by increasing the surface area of its roots, mycorrhiza also produces enzymes that dissolve nutrients that would otherwise remain inaccessible in the soil. In return, the plant provides the fungi with life-sustaining carbohydrates. This mutually beneficial relationship is a win-win for both the plant and the fungi.

M-Binder Tackifier-Soil Stabilizer https://naturesseed.com/planting-aids/m-binder-tackifier-soil-stabilizer/ https://naturesseed.com/planting-aids/m-binder-tackifier-soil-stabilizer/#respond Mon, 27 Oct 2014 19:16:41 +0000 https://dev8.etecc.com/natures_seed.bak/product/m-binder-tackifier-soil-stabilizer/

M-Binder tackifier is a botanical glue used in hydroseeding, to stabilize soils and for dust control. Derived from the seed of the plantego plant (Plantago insularis), M-Binder is 100% organic, non-toxic and biodegradable. Use anywhere you need to “tack” down seed, straw or mulch, or to control dust and erosion. Works great for revegetation and restoration projects, fire rehabilitation, landscaping and beautification.

Application

M-Binder may be applied as a dry powder or as wet slurry to dry or wet surfaces. It may even be applied during rain. It does not require set-up or drying time because when it is wet it is a heavy muciloid material and when dry it is a firm but rewettable membrane.

Application Rates

General Use: 60-140 lbs. per acre (approx. 1.5 – 3.25 lbs./1000 sq. ft.)

Mixed with Wood Fiber or Paper Mulch: 80-100 lbs. per acre

Dust Control Applications: 150-200 lbs. per acre

Rice Hulls https://naturesseed.com/planting-aids/rice-hulls/ https://naturesseed.com/planting-aids/rice-hulls/#comments Mon, 20 Oct 2014 23:31:05 +0000 https://dev8.etecc.com/natures_seed.bak/product/rice-hulls/

Rice hulls are the hard outer covering, or husk, of the rice kernel. They are formed of silica and lignin, and are indigestible to humans. However, they have many uses within the agricultural industry. When mixed with seed, rice hulls help:

Ensure a more uniform coverage when seeding a mixture of different sized seeds.

Slow the rate of seed being applied by a seed drill.

Prevent bridging of fluffy seeds in the drill.

Rice hulls weigh nine pounds per bushel. Use standard calibration techniques for determining the settings of your seeding equipment. There are many other uses for rice hulls besides their application during seeding. Here are just a few:

Rice hulls make an excellent substrate for gardening, especially in hydroponic systems.

Rice hulls can be used for animal bedding or litter in poultry and other animal operations.

Rice hulls absorb liquid and can provide an anti-skid surface.

Rice hulls can be used as insulation.

Organic Maintenance Fertilizer 18-1-8+fe https://naturesseed.com/organic-maintenance-fertilizer-18-1-8-fe/ https://naturesseed.com/organic-maintenance-fertilizer-18-1-8-fe/#respond Thu, 21 Apr 2011 00:14:58 +0000 https://dev8.etecc.com/natures_seed.bak/product/organic-maintenance-fertilizer-18-1-8-fe/

Suståne 18-1-8+Fe (50lb. bag)

Suståne fertilizers are the new generation in environmentally friendly plant nutrition with minimal impact on the non-target environment. Suståne 18-1-8+Fe (iron) is an organic based nitrogen fertilizer blend, ideal for top-dressing lawns, fairways and sports fields. Derived from aerobically composted turkey litter, hydrolyzed feathermeal, ammonium sulfate, iron sulfate, methylene urea, sulfate of potash and sulfur coated urea.

Provides 12-16 weeks of nutrient release

85% of total nitrogen is slow-release for dependable performance and high quality plants

Enhances soil-plant nutrient exchange

Low burn potential as nutrients are released gradually over time

Provides all primary, secondary and micronutrients required for plant growth

While traditional fertilizers supply plant growth nutrients, they do not supply the organic matter required to maintain quality growth. A balanced and naturally based fertilizer, Suståne 18-1-8+Fe is good for application at any time of year for evenly green grass during the growing season. The added iron (Fe) helps lawns maintain their optimal color during hotter summer months. Professional landscapers have increasingly turned to Suståne 18-1-8+Fe for use on high maintenance turf and landscaped environments.

Suståne 18-1-8+Fe is also an alternative to concerns over traditional lawn fertilizers being key contributors to surface and groundwater pollution. Using slow-release fertilizers, not over-fertilizing your lawn and sweeping up excess fertilizer from sidewalks and driveways can help prevent ground and surface water pollution.

NOTE: Suståne 18-1-8+Fe contains iron (Fe). In order to prevent rust stains, thoroughly sweep all concrete and stone surfaces free of excess product before irrigating.

DIRECTIONS

Top-dressing Existing Lawn. Broadcast using a seed spreader in two directions.

5.5 lbs/1000 sq. ft.

Organic Seed Starter Fertilizer 4-6-4 https://naturesseed.com/planting-aids/organic-seed-starter-fertilizer-4-6-4/ https://naturesseed.com/planting-aids/organic-seed-starter-fertilizer-4-6-4/#respond Wed, 20 Apr 2011 22:15:50 +0000 https://dev8.etecc.com/natures_seed.bak/product/organic-seed-starter-fertilizer-4-6-4/

Suståne 4-6-4 (50lb. bag)

Suståne 4-6-4 is a natural organic, slow-release, starter fertilizer which replenishes soils with a rich supply of humus (stabilized organic matter) and the essential nutrients required for sound and long-term fertility programs. Suståne 4-6-4 provides a combination of slow release nutrients and organic substances. Derived from biologically stable compost plus natural potash and feathermeal.

Adds approximately 10% humates by volume

Increases the nutrient and water holding capacity of the soil

Strengthens plants tolerance against hot dry conditions

Greater root development

Improves buffering against changes in soil pH

Increases soil ability to suppress plant pathogens

Increased soil porosity and stability for greater root development and water holding capacity

Suståne 4-6-4 accelerates turf establishment. A complete package containing slow release nitrogen, chelated micronutrients, organic phosphorus and humic substances. Suståne 4-6-4 has been demonstrated time and again to surpass synthetic turf starter fertilizers and other sources of humates and plant biostimulants. Professional landscapers have increasingly turned to Suståne 4-6-4 for use on high maintenance turf and landscaped environments. While synthetic fertilizers supply plant growth nutrients, they do not supply the organic matter required to maintain quality growth. Using fully composted natural fertilizers increases the levels of beneficial microbial activity, which in turn convert nutrients into plant-available forms.

Suståne 4-6-4 is also an excellent alternative to concerns over traditional lawn fertilizers being key contributors to surface and groundwater pollution. Not over-fertilizing your lawn and sweeping up excess fertilizer from sidewalks and driveways can help prevent ground and surface water pollution. A slow-release natural organic fertilizer such as Suståne 4-6-4, applied at the suggested rate of application, will not lead to groundwater pollution problems.
