“A greater or lesser attack on plants by insects and microorganisms depends on their state of nutritional balance “ (Francis Chaboussou).
During years of research, Chaboussou verified in France that the action of poisons used to control grape bunchworms, as well as fungicides, had an effect on mites through the plant. On the other hand, he proved that poisons (mainly insecticides, acaricides, fungicides and highly soluble chemical fertilizers, among others) cause modifications in the metabolism of the plant, resulting in an enrichment of cellular or circulating liquids in soluble sugars and free amino acids. Therefore, phytophagous mites, stingers, suckers and other insects of plant tissues are favored in their feeding. This translates, according to the species, into:
- Increased fecundity.
- Increased fertility.
- Increased longevity.
- Increase in the number of generations.
- Increase in the speed of development.
- Shorter reproductive cycles.
- Reproductive precocity.
- More offspring per generation.
- Increase in the ratio of females to males (more females than males).
Like insects, fungi are osmotrophic organisms, i.e. they feed on plant sap, rich in sugars and free amino acids present in plant tissues. Chaboussou draws attention to the fact that whenever there is a phenomenon of parasite attack on crops, there is an imbalance between two fundamental and complex processes of plant physiology: protein synthesis and protein lysis.
Finally, Chaboussou, in his various researches, proves that a trophic factor is behind the origin of the proliferation of mites and other phytophagous insects on the vine. He named this close relationship of dependence between the nutritional quality of the plant and its parasite trophobiosis.
In order to provide practical solutions to the different nutritional problems that occur in the field, caused in most cases by the application of poisons and industrial fertilizers, we present some formulations of biopreparations, not miraculous, but with the hope that they can contribute to improve the health of the affected crops.
Do not forget: With the practices of organic agriculture proposed here, we do not perform miracles, we try to do the impossible to get out of the huge quagmire to which multinationals have led farmers in the world, with their predatory and dehumanizing agricultural model.
It is not an easy task to play with the plot of the different relationships that are established and are about to happen in the next move or movement between the different factors, both internal and external, biotic or abiotic, or whatever we want to call it, and that undoubtedly affect the nutrition of a crop. Currently the recommendations for the nutrition of a plant, only go through false industrial technical attempts. At this time with the artificial programming of plant or animal nutrition, uncertainty is the most certain and the intentional construction of pathology by agribusiness is the confirmation of the reality in the field.
Guessing what may be happening in the interiority of a plant when it is cultivated with the interference of a crude proposal before life, such as the application of poisons and soluble fertilizers of industrial synthesis, is not a task that can be achieved.
The relationships that are established between the soil and a root are, or are full of a crossroads or a plot, mainly alive, impossible for a limited scientist to guess, because when a recommendation is made to conduct the nutrition of a crop, there are more chances to err than to get it right. To decide from the cruel coldness and from the chemical synthesis the future of a living being, is something that only the brutal mentality of some individuals of the human species is capable of thinking, programming and executing for profit.
In order to try to see beyond the black holes, the first requirement we must fulfill is to recognize that they exist. So it should be when we intend to direct and decide on the nutrition of a crop, we should recognize the impossibility of knowing everything and limitations that we have; it is to apply flexibility to the concept of knowledge, where everything that has to do, mainly with the movement in the environment of life and nutrition of a plant is about to happen in the next step of its biological transformation.
Let us try to play, the call for the game is made, the genetic chessboard with which we intend to play is full of millions of pieces, with different functional, dynamic and systemic characteristics, the proteome dances; genes interact with their environment and the environment marks new relationships between them, it is the endosymbiosis of life that Lynn Margulis mentioned so much in her writings. The question arises, the same as always, who will be the winner or will win the game. We dare to opine, life in a natural way did not arise as a game where there is the winner and the loser, the miracle of life arose with cooperation, where one can be partly or totally integrated within the other, to take the next step for continuity; where the unicellular becomes the multicellular. This is how nutrition is, whenever we attempt it, we are building the new uncertainty. The nutrition of a crop is full of micro and macro movements both inside and outside of a plant, the next move in the nutritional chessboard may be a new biopreparation that we have to adjust as we experience it and be flexible to break with the rigidity of wanting to transform into a solid thing, what is infinitely soft by nature.
Dare to go up the nutritional chessboard of your crop, participate in the next move, at least try to understand what it means to dis-accommodate a piece, sacrifice and discard another; if you do not do it, the market will do it, you will be swindled again with the illusion of buying the missing piece or the perfect miracle input. Play with the examples of biopreparations that we place at your disposal below, it is something that you can do and understand, it is something that helps to redirect the human being to be humanly sensitive. Participate, defend the beautiful, the naturally combined or mixed so that we could have the possibility to exist. The formula to reconquer the possibility of being an agriculture or a free farmer, is in your hands, it is not available in the showcases of agricultural inputs, in the same way that health is not available in hospitals, nor in the hands of doctors with medicines.
“It is only when we are convinced and realize that plant life and nutrition is a much more dynamic part of geo-physiology than we suspected, that we can move forward.”
Let’s move forward; let’s get to work, the bio board is set up, dare to move the pieces, you can start, make your biofertilizers, the play is in your hands and you can try as many times as you want.
Biofertilizers for the restoration of mineral and biological nutrition of crops, blocked by the application of poisons and soluble chemical fertilizers of industrial agriculture.
Biofertilizer to restore the general nutrition and stimulate the vegetative development of different crops.
Ingredients:
- 2 kg of zinc sulfate.
- 3 kg of ferrous sulfate.
- 2 kg of manganese sulfate.
- 500 gr of copper sulfate.
- 50 L of serum.
- 10 kg of solid native forest microorganisms.
- 20 L of sugar cane molasses.
- 5 L of native or territorial or local EM.
- A cotton cloth cover.
- Water to complete a volume of 180 L, in a plastic container of 200 L of capacity.
Preparation: It is prepared in a plastic container of 200 liters of capacity, in which 50 liters of serum are mixed with 50 liters of water and 10 liters of dissolved molasses; then the 10 kilos of native microorganisms of the forest are placed in suspension, in a bag or cover of cotton or fiber cloth; then the mixture is covered in an anaerobic way, Super Lean type, and it is left to rest for 4 days. After the 4 days of fermentation, the container is opened and the sulfates, the other 10 kilos of cane molasses dissolved in 20 liters of water are added together with the 5 liters of native or territorial EM. The volume of the original container is completed with water, taking care to leave a space of 10 to 15 centimeters between the lid and the liquid; the container is closed with the mixture in an anaerobic way, Super Lean type and it is left in definitive rest for 30 days, to later begin its applications in the crops.
Application: Regularly, in most cases, applications are recommended that can vary between 2% and 3%; that is, 2 to 3 liters of the biopreparation are mixed in 100 liters of water. This product is generally recommended for all crops. In many cases, where the blockage of elements in the soil is very drastic, due to the impacts of agrochemicals, it is advisable to add 2 to 4 liters of sulfocalcic broth to the application mixture.
