Christopher Columbus identified four crops which he considered indispensable for human survival and well-being - grapes, olives, wheat and aloe vera.

A whole-leaf aloe vera concentrate (500% stronger than standard aloe extracts). Aloe vera is a powerful botanical bio-activator and plant growth stimulant that increases phytoalexin production and improves overall plant health. Research suggests that Aloe-Tech™ is the most powerful fungi booster currently available.

Packaging.

• 1 litre (1.06kg), 5 litres (5.16kg), 20 litres (21.54kg), 200 litres (211.54kg).
  Weight per volume: 0.997

Information:

• An ideal adjunct for microbe multiplication in the soil, on the leaf or during microbe brewing. Biomass increases of over 1000% have been recorded.
• Features salicylic acid for enhanced immune response.
• Contains gibberellins and indole acetic acid which stimulate cell replication (plant growth).
• Includes five polysaccharides with considerable capacity for chelation.
• Contains aloins - aggressive biochemical's with a broadspectrum bio-balancing potential.
• Features saponins, which are proven plant growth stimulants and potent fungi food in the soil.
• Includes B group vitamins which can also boost plant growth.

Application Rates:

• Brewing Microbes:
  (including compost tea) Add to brewing tank at a rate of 1 % (ie 1 litre per 100 litres).
• Fertigation:
  5 - 15 litres per hectare to increase beneficial microbes in the soil. Include with all compost tea applications. Foliar:
  Broadacre: 1 - 2 litres per hectare in 100 litres of water (1:50 minimum) as a plant growth stimulant or when combining with compost tea.
  Small crops: 2 - 5 litres per hectare in 200 - 400 litres of water (1:40 minimum) as a fertiliser/biostimulant.
  3 litres per hectare when combining with compost tea.
  Orchard crops: 5 - 7 litres per hectare (depending upon tree size) as a plant growth stimulant.
  5 litres per hectare with compost tea.

Note:

• Ideal for use with all biological inocula, including MEND™ compost tea and the NTS range of task-specific microbes.
• Use through fertigation when soil biology requires stimulation.
• Apply as a foliar fertiliser to stimulate plant growth.
• Apply as a foliar fertiliser to stimulate beneficial leaf micro-organisms. Do not exceed suggested application rates as Aloe-Tech™ could have an unwanted fungicidal effect.
• A completely natural product (but not certified organic).
