Molasses:
Description – Natural Sugar Cane
Molasses recommended for
enhancing the growth of beneficial microbial enzymatic
activity and is a carbon
source when applied through fertigation.
This microbial activity then assists in feeding the
fungi which in turn
feeds the tree. Reduces
damage to roots
caused by root parasites, stimulates quick microbial
decay, increases yields,
and is used as a phytochelate when applied to foliage. Assists with
nitrogen uptake/release in the
soil by altering the C/N ration via soil microbiota. Often applied at
1.5Litres/h.a. every 2-3
weeks.
