Durian Trees Challenge, Rhizoctonia Solani, Organic treatment.

Just concluded our trial for Durian trees with Rhizoctonia Solani with great success. We want to inspire other planters that now it's year 2018, we can do organic planting, easily, safely and economically then before.

 This farm is located in Ulu Langat, Selangor and belong to a friend of mine, Ghazali. Since he wanted an organic treatment and me want to promote organic planting, we got together and decided to test it out in 5 of his Durian trees.

Our goal was to treat the durian trees of Rhizoctonia Solani (Hawar Daun) which had infected the whole farm severely. Some trees are killed, some are stunned and not growing. We want to make them healthy again and make them start growing.

Organic products that we used were

1) AgroSol, Pure Plant Energy to enhance photosynthesis, so as to induce new growth and improve overall health of the tree from leafs to roots.

2) BioRichField, Feeding the Soil to Feed the Plant. A compost based bio-fertilizer enrich and inoculated with high efficacy microbes, fungi and food for the microbes. Complimented with Mycorrhiza Fungi and Nano Gel technology.

3) Ken Bio Defender, a microbe based technology. These microbes shall resides in the soil and roots to fend off bacteria wilt.

We started our trial on 10th October 2017 and we set a time line of 3 months.We felt that 3 months is a good time line as initial feedback from planters is that even if we were to succeed in organic, it shall takes too long a time. We actually started getting favorable results ahead of our dateline.

Our approach is pretty simple, repeatable and upscale-able in farm by normal farm hands. We dig a small trench along the drip line on the higher ground. We used approximately 3 kg of BioRichfields. We cover back with the original soil. The reason is that we want to create a richer organic matter to house the good microbes and also to have contact of the BioRichfield with the roots. This is important for the Mycorrhiza Fungi. With the cover up, we are also protecting the microbes from strong UV light and to create adequate heat. We further re-in-force with Ken Bio Defender to specifically target the Rhizoctonia Solani through absorption by the roots. 9 gm of Bio Defender was mixed with 6 liters of clean water and drench around the trunk of the tree.

We treat the tree with AgroSol so as to induce higher photosynthesis to produce more energy for the tree to recover and grow.This is a holistic approach as we target the Rhizoctonia and address the need for growth. This seems to work very well as a combination.

Response was rather fast due to the effect of AgroSol. We see new buds appearing starting from week 3. This increase in photosynthesis also results in higher uptake of nutrients that we had made
available for the tree's use.

These are the condition of the leaves at the start of the trial. Most were heavily infested. We can only treat and make the new leaves healthy and suppress the old leaves from spreading the
Rhizoctonia.

These are the leaves at the moment and with this we officially ends the trial. Yes we can do organic farming, easily, safely and economically. If you are not doing it for yourself, please do it for our next generation.

I am extremely satisfied with this challenge because it's so inspiring  and now there is at least another organic planter in Malaysia. Thank you.

Golf Course Turf Grass, Shifting Goal Post

Golf Course Turf Grass Part 2

Our initial trail.

The amended soil.

The amended soil.

Just came back from my vacation in Vietnam and now back to work. We are shifting our goal post. Our initial Goal is to find out if AgroSol works for Turf and after a couple of weeks, we are finalizing an order of AgroSol for a bigger trial. We are just waiting for the official documentations.

In the mean time, am shifting from "if it works" to optimization. From the initial concentration, 1:200, 1:400 & 1:600, I find that 1:600 works better. This is definitely a run off from our normal perception that "more is always better"

My last spraying about 14 days ago, was done while drizzling. So I guess this is a good time to change the concentration.



Let this run for 28 days and check back on the results. Stay tuned.

AgroSol tested on Figs in Malaysia

Bought home on 21st September 2017

One of the leafs has rust

Fig is a popular plants among planters in Malaysia. I myself started a couple of year ago, but dropped out as I felt that figs planted in Malaysia is not as tasty and we don't have the crunchy seeds.

With AgroSol, I obtained Fig to do a trial. 
 

This leaf was cut off and disposed on the 26th September. Had been spraying AgroSol, but plant is not responding. The only symptom that I see is the new buds and the leaves getting darker. Yet these buds are not growing.

 

I did a mini trials in a nursery at Sungai Buloh Fig Farm, lot 47-B. Figs responded with 14 days. New leaves, bigger leaves, fruits and new shoots.

I guess something is not right on my fig. I obtained 2 more plants to try.

26th October 2017, 1 month after the 1st Fig.

6 days latter, I can see some difference on the 2 new figs.

Am quite sure now there is something wrong with the 1st fig. I took the initiative of digging it out to check on the roots. I find the marcoting woven layer still intact. This is suppose to be bio-degradable, but the roots are confined inside. I cut off the woven layer and untangle the roots. Then repot.

Lets see in 3 weeks' time if this fig perform better. Stay tuned.
