Plant Growth Activator
Plant Growth Activator
Organica Drain Opener contains organic surfactants and beneficial microbial species capable of penetrating and biodegrading grease, oil, hair and other organic waste typically found in drains. It is specifically formulated for institutional applications where heavy buildups tend to proliferate. Regular use of the product creates a bio-film, which prevents clogs from reoccurring. Organica Drain Opener is non-corrosive, safe for all types of plumbing and environmentally responsible. Ideal for kitchen, bathroom and shop drains.
Organica Plant Growth Activator (PGA) is a unique all natural product formulated to promote the establishment and enhance the viability of all plantings and transplants. These proprietary microbial systems contain 47 strains of beneficial soil microorganisms, essential amino acids, vitamins, biotin, folic acid and natural sugars. The establishment of beneficial microbial populations is the key to creating the ideal soil environment for healthy plant growth.
Over the last 500 million years plants and beneficial soil microorganisms have developed a symbiotic relationship. When a plant photosynthesizes it releases a carbon exudate into the soil, which microorganisms utilize as a food source. The microbes in the rhizosphere surround the root to get this food source. In turn the microorganisms protect the plant roots from nematodes and pathogens, recycle nutrients, improve the surrounding soil structure and solubilize minerals for plant availability. As you can see this is truly a mutually beneficial relationship. Unfortunately today many soils are grossly out of balance and are virtually devoid of beneficial microbial populations. This is due primarily to an over reliance on pesticides and inorganic fertilizers to treat the symptoms rather than the cause of the problem, both adversely affect the beneficial microbial populations found in healthy soil. Organica’s PGA was formulated to re-establish these beneficial microbial populations and provide the soil with the necessary components to promote healthy growth and reduce plant stress.
Organica has developed a distinct formulation of it’s microbial systems (PGA) to provide specific plants with the ideal soil environment they require to grow and develop to their full potential. PGA is specifically formulated for plants that require a bacterial dominated soil such as bulbs, annuals, herbaceous perennials, foliage plants and certain grass types. Certain plant types such as row crops, ryegrass and bentgrass require a 1:1 ratio of bacteria to fungi in order to thrive here Organica recommends alternating PGA and PGA Plus. These proprietary formulations allow you to tailor the soil environment to meet the specific needs of your plants. When your soil is balanced with the proper diversity and ratio of beneficial microbial species the benefits afforded to the plant are innumerable.
Organica’s microbial systems provide a number of benefits to both the soil and the plant. Specifically, the microbes will provide plants with increased resistance to environmental extremes (heat, cold, drought), minimize nutrient leaching, aid in nutrient cycling and absorption, improve soil structure, solubilize minerals (including phosphorous) for plant availability, enhance seed germination and stimulate plant growth via the production of natural plant growth hormones. The other natural components contained in PGA will stimulate root growth and root formation, improve nutrient absorption, enhance seed germination and viability, accelerate cell division and provide energy for plant metabolism.

Apply 1 - 1.5 ounces per 1000 square feet / 2.75 lbs - 4.0 lbs. per acre / 3 kg - 4.5 kg per hectare monthly as a soil drench using a sufficient volume of water to achieve desired coverage.
For Compost Tea Brewers utilize 1 lb of product per 100 gallons of tank capacity. Apply finished product to soil and foliage at the rate of 20 gallons per acre. Therefore 1 lb of product will treat 5 acres of plant material. Tea concentrate may be diluted in water to achieve desired coverage. Apply every 2 – 4 weeks throughout growing season. Utilize in conjunction with a carbon / protein based microbial food when treating foliage.
Dissolve 1 tablespoon in 1 gallon / 14 grams om 3.8 liters of water and apply as a root drench prior to backfilling hole during planting phase (outdoor trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs).
Apply 1 - 1.5 ounces per 1000 sq ft. / 2.75 lbs - 4.0 lbs. per acre / 3 kg - 4.5 kg per hectare as a foliar treatment. Apply in conjunction with a carbon / protein based material to promote foliar colonization.
Use higher rate on sandy soils and when plants are exposed to environmental extremes
Apply every 4 – 6 weeks throughout growing season
Dilute 2 lbs in 250 gallons / 1 kg in 950 liters of water and inject around drip line of plant. Use 1 gallon / 3.8 liters of diluted product per 5 feet / 1.5 meters of shrub or tree height. Two pounds / 1 kg of material will treat 1250 one gallon / 3.8 liter plants, 250 five gallon / 19 liter plants etc. Inject plants twice a year.
DE Carrier Vs. Glucose Carrier
The only difference is solubility. The DE forms a water soluble suspension while the glucose is 95 % water soluble. Unless you are putting it through sophisticated spray systems that require complete solubility use DE carrier. No difference in efficacy just solubility!
