Great for hydroponic and organic gardening, this natural plant food can be diluted in water, (5-10ml of powder) to elevate the plants' in-built resistance to pests and disease, as well as increase growth rates and productivity; ensuring a healthy and fruitful crop.
Use every two or four weeks to protect and improve your plants.
The constant presence of Chitin, a naturally occurring molecule that is found in the shells of crustaceans like lobsters and crabs, as well as the exoskeletons of insects, benefits your plants as it causes them to be fortified from their cell walls, outwards. As an eco-friendly fertiliser it also makes the plant resistant to powdery mildew, late and early blights, botrytis, and certain root rots as well as root nematodes. The presence of chitin triggers plants into thinking that insects are eating them, causing them to build up their cell walls and release natural insect toxins as a defence.
