Less than a year ago, we started BGI Services Division. Our service goal is to help the homeowner transform their yards into systems that are in line with natural processes. There has got to be a better way than spraying our yards 3 to 5 times a year with toxic herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. In fact, the average homeowner uses pesticides at 10 times the rate of commercial agriculture. And homeowners almost always use broad spectrum products that kill everything. As you can imagine, this does more harm than good.

Today I am discussing 3 easy steps you can take so you won’t need toxic chemicals!

You can start this process anytime. It provides healthier soil and healthier plants. It leads to a cleaner environment. It’s our personal responsibility to leave the world better than we found it, and where is there a better place than in our own backyards?

Step 1: Getting your yard off drugs. This is the easiest step. Simply stop using pesticides. Just stop! For some this may prove difficult because it has always been done this way. Insecticides, fungicides and herbicides simply cure a symptom of lawn sickness, not the cause, so throw them out!

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”right” animation_delay=”0″]6176|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/Chemical-Free-Nutrient-Dense-Yards-pic-3-300×300.png|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

Step 2: Changing your lawn and gardens diet. Your yard becomes susceptible to pests and diseases when it is unhealthy. Lawns are commonly unhealthy because of poor or nonexistent nutrition management. To find the best fertility plan for your lawn and garden, you should always start with a soil test. This will help you determine the very important pH level of your yard. If the pH is out of balance, nutrients will not be absorbed completely, making your efforts and expense end in vain. A soil test will also tell you which nutrients are currently adequate or deficient. It is harmful to the environment to apply fertilizers that are not needed or are unavailable. When you’re ready to fertilize, be sure you’re using species specific! Plants have different nutritional needs. It’s important to feed your yard what it needs, when it needs it and in the correct amounts. This will create a strong foundation for your yard, save you money and protect the environment. Remember, our goal is to create a nutrient dense environment and healthy soils that ultimately lead to more vigorous, healthy, and stronger turf and plants.

Step 3: Improving your soil biology. A healthy soil is endgame. If we have abundant biological life (like good bacteria and fungi), this assures us of a steady, renewable supply of available plant nutrients, a soil that is friable, with airspace and plentiful H2O holding capacity while still providing good percolation and internal drainage.

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”left” animation_delay=”0″]6174|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/Chemical-Free-Nutrient-Dense-Yards-pic-1-300×300.png|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

Bacteria are single celled organisms that help mineralize nutrients, provide organic matter and buffer soil pH. There is, on average, 500-1,000 lbs per acre of beneficial bacteria in healthy soils.

Fungi consist of invisible thread-like substances of which there are over 100,000 known types. Fungi serve similar roles as bacteria but can act in an incredible symbiotic relationship between the soil and plants. Fungi typically compose 1,000-2,000 lbs per acre in healthy soils. An example of this beneficial fungi is Mycorrhizae. This fungus attaches to the root tips of plants and extends far beyond the roots. These “conveyer belts” of the roots transport nutrients and minerals to the plants. Hence, because of this vast network of fungi, food and H2O is much more available to the plant.

Think of bacteria and fungi like the “digesters” of the soil. Once fertilizer or organic matter is digested or mineralized, it becomes available to the plant. A good sol is highly infiltrated with these types of organisms, as well as, nematodes, protozoa, and worms.

Ways to promote the biology of your soil include allowing your grass clippings to decompose in place, applying compost to plant beds, feed with natural and organic plant foods that both provide food to your soil biology and to your turf and landscape. In healthy soils, microbes provide abundant aeration, it is also a wonderful cultural practice that promotes soil life and plant health to mechanically aerate your turf 2 to 3 times a year. Another critical cultural practice that will lead to much healthier turf and landscape is not watering every day. Force water down the soil profile by watering heavier but less frequently, this will force roots down and lead to healthier plants.

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”right” animation_delay=”0″]6177|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/Chemical-Free-Nutrient-Dense-Yards-pic-4-300×300.png|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

A couple things I look at when first walking in a new yard is thatch and leaf structure. Healthy soils do not have thick thatch or heavy mat under the grass. This is because the microbial life is eating it up and releasing nutrients. Thick thatch and low organic matter is often associated with “chemical yards”

The soil ecosystem cannot thrive under an onslaught of all the pesticides. Remember the 1^st step? Thick thatch is a red flag. A second indicator of health is leaf structure. A thick, dark green, fully expanded new growth leaf means lipids and nutrients are available and being translocated, i.e. a healthy environment! If plants are strong and healthy, pests have much less impact. Thick, dense, healthy turf significantly reduces weeds as well. If you have the occasional need to kill a weed or two, consider a vinegar-based organic weed killer, they are often quite effective AND easy on the earth.

There are many direct and indirect benefits of natural yards. We cannot outsource our individual responsibility to protect the environment.  Start in your own back yards! Like the Hippocratic oath our doctors once upon a time lived by; “First, do no harm.”

To your yards health!

Take care,

A note from the author, Tom Scannell: Over my next several blogs I would like to introduce some questions and some answers in the ever-evolving quest for cleaner food, a cleaner environment, higher nutritional values and economic cost. I have grown commercial crops for over 36 years. I was raised in the farming world but love the concept of organic as it pertains to humane treatment, nutritional value, clean food and clean environment. However, “organic” may not be all its branded and marketed to be.

[cmsms_image align=”left” animation_delay=”0″]50578|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/the-dirt-on-organic-fert-story-1-300×300.jpg|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

The following is a brief list of points that separate the hype from the fact when discussing organic vs. inorganic fertilizers.

01. First and maybe foremost, a nutrient is a nutrient is a nutrient. Plants do not differentiate organic from inorganic fertilizers.

The fact is; organic fertilizers must be “mineralized” or broken down into inorganic forms in the soil before the plants can assimilate (take up) the nutrients. Oh dear; plants only take up nutrients in inorganic from? Seriously.

02. By definition:

• Organic Fertilizer – A soil amendment that contains carbon. E.g. Bone meal, cow manure, and kelp.

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

• Inorganic Fertilizer – A soil amendment that does not contain carbon. It is derived from naturally occurring (albeit not “organic”) minerals like Sulfur, Phosphorus and Calcium.Organic marketing authors often impregnate duplicity in their adjective when describing inorganic fertilizers:

• “Synthetic fertilizers”: Implies false or fake. Nothing could be further from the truth.
• “Chemical fertilizers”: All fertilizers are chemical. It does not matter if they contain carbon, “organic” or not.

03. Pitfalls of Organic:

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”right” animation_delay=”0″]50580|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/the-dirt-on-organic-fert-story-3-300×300.jpg|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

• Not immediately available – must be broken down into inorganic form before it is available to the plant.
• If the soil is too cold (>50° F), microbes will not be active and will not break down the nutrients.
• If soil moisture is insufficient, microbes will not be active and will not break down the nutrients.
• Low NPK ratios (1-1-1) make higher volume applications necessary to attain proper fertility levels.
• Cost per pound is prohibitive when compared to mineral fertilizers.
• Organic programs almost always must be supplemented with other products to attain adequate macros and minors.

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

• Seedlings, fast growing plants and specific plant needs and/or deficiencies require corrective action and colder soil conditions. Organic fertilizers in these situations perform poorly.
• Over application of phosphorus is common in organic applications, because nutrient leaves are closer to 1-1-1, you’re either going to have inadequate Nitrogen or excess Phosphorus.

04. Advantages of Inorganic:

• Nutrients are readily available for plant uptake because they are in the right form.
• With Species Specific blends, NPK ratios are calculated for exact needs of the plant which – which means your plants are getting the right amount and nutrient runoff is reduced.
• Cost Per Pound of the actual nutrients is a fraction of organic cost.
• Can be formulated with lower solubility products for slower release if desired (affected by water), can also be formulated with controlled-release coatings for slower, long term release (affected by temperature)

05. Marketing is all about perception, right? And the fertilizer industry has done a masterful job of hustling the organic story…

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_quotes mode=”grid” columns=”1″ animation_delay=”0″][cmsms_quote name=”Christie Wilcox” subtitle=”Scientific American Magazine”]

Ten years ago, ‘Certified Organic’ didn’t exist in the United States. Yet in 2010, a mere eight years after USDA’s regulations officially went into effect, organic foods and beverages made $26.7 billion. In the past year or two, certified organic sales have jumped to about $52 billion worldwide despite the fact that organic foods cost up to three times as much as those produced by conventional methods.

[/cmsms_quote][/cmsms_quotes][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

• Despite consumer perceptions, there is not consistent data that food grown with organic fertilizers are superior in nutrient content.
• Despite consumer perceptions, there is consistent data pointing to increased nutrient leachate when only organic fertilizer is used.

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”left” animation_delay=”0″]50579|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/the-dirt-on-organic-fert-story-2-300×300.jpg|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

• Researches at the University of Michigan and Cornell University conducted a consumer rating of perceived values of organic vs. inorganic foods. According to the researches, the “halo-effect” occurred. That is, consumers attribute “organic” with everything in the food product to be better. Participants believed the organic products had tasted lower in fat, tasted higher in fiber, lower in calories and more nutritious. None of this was the case however. Oh dear! (‘When good deeds leave a bad taste: Negative inferences from ethical food claims.’ Jonathon P. Schuldt, Cornell University)

As a farmer, I understand organic fertilizers are expensive, relatively inefficient, not readily available, and cannot overcome major deficiencies while inorganic fertilizers…can. Our goal is to help you create beauty and joy in the landscape. We want you to see maximum visual results, at an economic cost, and protect the environment all at the same time.

• Save money
• Get results
• Protect the environment
• Go BGI!

There are many benefits of incorporating organic fertilizers into your agronomic, horticultural or residential landscape fertility program. Increased organic matter, improved soil structure and tilth, greater water holding capacity, slow release of nutrients, i.e. prevent leaching and increased cation exchange capacity. Organic fertilizers stimulate microbial and biological life of the soil and provide essential micronutrients.

There is no question these benefits are wonderful. However, typically the guaranteed analysis of nutrients when compared to inorganic fertilizers is very low. If comparing actual nutrients per dollar purchased, organics can become cost prohibitive, since much larger quantities must be applied per acre.

Typically, organic products have nutrient levels near a 1:1:1 N, P, K ratio. So, it also becomes impossible to supply adequate Nitrogen without over application of Phosphorus.

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”right” animation_delay=”0″]5893|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/Blog-organic-drill-down-body-image2-300×300.png|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

Furthermore, it becomes problematic if your soil test comes back with other than a 1:1:1 ratio recommendation to supply adequate nutrients. If you need to supply one or two nutrients, due to chlorosis or fruit drop, organic sources cannot do that. More important organic sourced fertilizers must first be broken down into an available form before nutrients can be absorbed. They are not immediately available.

Plants can only absorb nutrients in certain forms. Nitrogen is absorbed by the plant in ammonium (NH₄⁺) or nitrate (NO₃⁻) forms only. Inorganic fertilizers can provide this nutrient form in exact amounts and become immediately available. Organic fertilizers must first be broken down or mineralized before they become available. Plants cannot distinguish between organic and inorganic nutrient sources.

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”left” animation_delay=”0″]5892|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/Blog-organic-drill-down-body-image1-300×300.png|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

Then there is the question of nutritional value of the plant. Despite consumer perception, there is not consistent scientific data demonstrating organic sources are superior to inorganic ones.

Organic fertilizers offer many benefits. Inorganic fertilizers do as well. The definition of “organic” in mainstream keeps getting wider and wider. It is a huge marketing strategy that often appeals to our humanity and goodwill. Inorganic fertilizer can be just as natural as organic, provide immediate nutrients in the right amounts, economically.

What’s the right program? Like Forrest said to Jenny; “I think maybe it’s both.”

Managing plant nutrition in a sustainable way requires the grower to focus on many diverse goals.  Whether your crop is food or ornamental, maximum yields and economic returns are certain desires.  Environmentally conscious producers consider ammonia, nitrous oxide and nitrate losses, due to, poor application methods, anaerobic conditions and runoff.  Scientists, fertilizer manufacturers and growers are keenly interested in managing plant nutrition to achieve high nutritive values of harvested foods and breathtaking beautiful landscapes.

These goals are sustainable but each is dependent upon species and location.  Each site, field or farm depends upon and varies by climate, water quality, soil type, texture, structure, pH, internal drainage, inherent fertility, crop grown, etc., etc.  What we are saying is this:

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_heading type=”h5″ font_weight=”600″ font_style=”normal” text_align=”default” target=”self” margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”20″ animation_delay=”0″]NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IS SITE SPECIFIC.  NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IS SPECIES SPECIFIC![/cmsms_heading][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

Reaching all our diverse goals will probably require a trade off.  Maximum yields may not always minimize nitrate losses.  Likewise, minimizing nitrous oxide emissions might not result in maximum crop yields.  So, it is critical to consider the following four factors:

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”right” animation_delay=”0″]6048|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/Plant-Nutrition-Mgt-body-image-2-300×300.png|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

1. Source – Are supplied nutrients available to the plant and cost effective?
2. Time – Are nutrient applications correctly timed with crop growth and development?
3. Rate – Are applied amounts adequate to achieve economic and environmental goals?
4. Place – Are nutrients being placed in the soil/plant profile where they are available and minimizes potential losses?

These four factors are site specific, species specific and integral in reaching our diverse yet sustainable goals.

Sustainability in the plant/soil/water system is analogous to maintaining excellent health through preventative medicine.  The common goal in both cases:

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_heading type=”h5″ font_weight=”400″ font_style=”italic” text_align=”default” target=”self” margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”20″ animation_delay=”0″]TO AVOID ILLNESS BY MAINTAINING OPTIMUM HEALTH THROUGH PROPER NUTRITION.[/cmsms_heading][cmsms_image align=”left” animation_delay=”0″]6050|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/Plant-Nutrition-Mgt-body-image-3-300×300.png|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

Deficiency of a single plant nutrient results in stress that impairs optimum growth, yield and quality.  Please refer to “Liebigs Law” in earlier blogs.  Growers have known for decades and scientific studies are again confirming the direct correlation between plant health and nutrition management.  Plant and soil borne pathogens are inhibited by proper mineral nutrition.  Nutrition stimulates physical and chemical defenses that fight pathogens.  Adequate potassium levels for example, thicken epidermal cells and decreases sugar concentrations.  This makes the plant less attractive and susceptible to the local marauding spider mites, white flies and aphids!  Bottom line – stronger plants better tolerate disease and insect pressures.

Managing plant nutrition to reach economic, yield and environmental goals is dynamic and involves tradeoffs.  Source, time, rate and place are all site specific, species specific factors one must consider.  Applying nitrogen in anaerobic conditions or iron in alkaline soils is futile, expensive, and may result in environmental degradation.  Giving the plants what they need in an available form when they need it in adequate amounts goes a long way toward reaching our multiple and diverse goals.  This is plant nutrition management.

These are the same goals BGI embraces when developing species specific, completely balanced and available plant foods and plant health products.  Let’s reach high and grab these worthy goals.  Let’s do it together.  BGI is here to help you.  We are all about nutrition management, and you are too.  Together we can sustain.  Together we can grow.  Together we can create abundant health and beauty.  Together we can make divine nature smile!

And remember;

Stay healthy – Stay strong.

Take care,

Does anyone like diseased plants?

Does anyone prefer to grow, produce and enjoy strong, healthy vibrant plants?

Which are more marketable?  Which are more appealing to the eye; to the customer?

Growers of hundreds of species of ornamental plants across the United States understand there are certain minerals we call essential nutrients.  They are essential to achieve optimum plant growth, development, quality and yield.  However, what I am finding through conversations with growers, garden center managers and landscapers is few understand the critical role balanced mineral nutrition has in disease resistance.

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”right” animation_delay=”0″]6043|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/Plant-Nutrition-and-Disease-body-image-1-1-200×200.png|thumbnail[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

Plant nutrition affects disease and pathogen resistance mechanisms in primarily two ways: Mechanical barriers or cell wall thickening and production of pathogen defense compounds like flavanoids and antioxidants.

There are two general rules that we need to remember regarding plant nutrition and disease resistance: All of the essential nutrients are required and must be present, available and in the proper amounts and plants that have optimal nutrition also have the greatest resistance to diseases.

Let’s take a couple examples:

[/cmsms_text][cmsms_image align=”left” animation_delay=”0″]6035|https://www.bgi-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/Plant-Nutrition-and-Disease-body-image-1-300×300.png|medium[/cmsms_image][cmsms_text animation_delay=”0″]

1. K & Ca – weak cell walls leak nutrients between the cells or to the apoplast. This creates an ideal environment to germinate fungal spores and bacterial infections.  These mineral deficiencies of Potassium and Calcium obviously lower the plants resistance to fungal and bacterial diseases.
2. Cu – Copper is widely used as a commercial fungicide.  Nutritionally speaking, copper deficiency results in impaired synthesis of chemical defense compounds that provide protection against pathogens.
3. Mo & Mn – Molybdenum deficiency can reduce nitrate reductase production, which converts nitrates to proteins.  This is critical or shall we say essential.  Soil applied Manganese can inhibit growth of certain soil borne fungi.

Nutrient exchange, uptake and plant disease resistance is like the weather.  It is a complex, dynamic system that has many interacting processes occurring simultaneously.  Because we know that no nutrient functions in isolation from the others, providing adequate essential nutrients is critical to the proper health, functioning and disease resistance of higher plants.  Growing a commercial crop, a potted plant or a country club landscape requires strategic integrated pest management (IPM). In the IPM world, optimum nutrient levels make sense economically, agronomically and environmentally.

Proper nutrition truly is the first step in pest management.  It makes sense for so many reasons.

Remember, plants that have optimal nutrition also have the greatest resistance to diseases.

The BGI family of products fulfill this critical nutrient need.

Stay at ease, not dis-ease; stay healthy from the start and go with the family of GAIN products.

I hope this helps!
