Naturall for Vegetables-2019

Naturall™ for Vegetables

• Multifunctional and crop specific blends of beneficial
strains of Trichoderma microbials

• Based on more than three decades of research at
Cornell University & international biological research
programs.

– Latest result of screening more than 1,000 organisms from
worldwide microbial libraries and selection/discovery programs

– Hundreds of independent field trials around the world.

How does it work?

Proprietary and patent pending biologicals that:

– Colonize the crop root system.
– Induce altered gene expression through association with host plant
– Affect changes in plant physiology

Enhances multiple biochemical pathways

Can alleviate crop stresses such as:

– Disease
– dry weather
– often systemically

Root colonization can affect the physiology of the whole plant,
even foliar/leaf biology.

The treatments are a
standard peat-vermiculite
mix (Cornell mix), our new
potting mixing without
Trichoderma (-T) and with
Trichoderma (+T). The
greater growth of +T vs –T is
a consequence of NUE
