Biostimulants Extract Mixed (several origins)

Extract

Highly concentrated extraction of the plant material in a solvent (water, alcohol or oil), using a much higher plant-to-solvent ratio than a simple maceration, and often a longer contact time. The result is a very concentrated liquid, meant to keep for a long time and always be used diluted, unlike the other techniques prepared for more immediate use.

Process summary

1) Finely chop or crush the plant material, using a high proportion relative to the solvent (more plant matter than in a standard maceration). 2) Fully cover with the chosen solvent (water, alcohol or oil) in a closed container, opaque or kept in the dark. 3) Let it sit for several weeks, shaking occasionally. 4) Strain, bottle in a sealed container and store cool and dark — always use diluted, never undiluted.

See all preparation methods

Juice of young moringa shoots, highly diluted and sprayed on crops as a biostimulant. Protocol from the BIOMASA project (Nicaragua) circulated by ECHO; the leaves contain zeatin, a cytokinin.

Application

Application description: Foliar spray at four times: 10 days after emergence, about 30 days before flowering, when seeds appear and during ripening.

Dose: Extract diluted 1:32; about 25 ml per plant per application.

Tips

Use the extract within 5 hours or freeze it. The pressed residue (12 to 14% protein) can be used as fodder. It complements, but does not replace, fertilisation, watering and good practice.

Preparation process

1. Grind the shoots with the litre of water.
2. Put the pulp in a cloth and wring out the liquid.
3. Dilute 1 part extract in 32 parts water just before spraying.
