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.

Photosynthesis.
Let us look into part of Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities (energy transformation). This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis.

Carbon dioxide is converted into sugars in a process called carbon fixation. Photosynthesis provides the energy in the form of free electrons that are used to split carbon from carbon dioxide that is then used to fix that carbon once again as carbohydrate. Carbon fixation is an endothermic redox reaction, so photosynthesis supplies the energy that drives both process. In general outline, photosynthesis is the opposite of cellular respiration, in which glucose and other compounds are oxidized to produce carbon dioxide and water, and to release chemical energy (an exothermic reaction) to drive the organism's metabolism. The two processes, reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrate and then later oxidation of the carbohydrate, are distinct: photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place through a different sequence of chemical reactions and in different cellular compartments.

Carbon dioxide levels and photorespiration

As carbon dioxide concentrations rise, the rate at which sugars are made by the light-independent reactions increases until limited by other factors. RuBisCO, the enzyme that captures carbon dioxide in the light-independent reactions, has a binding affinity for both carbon dioxide and oxygen. When the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, RuBisCO will fix carbon dioxide. However, if the carbon dioxide concentration is low, RuBisCO will bind oxygen instead of carbon dioxide. This process, called photorespiration, uses energy, but does not produce sugars.

Now what if we can create an environment whereby the carbon dioxide concentration is at consistenly maximum level? How would your plant react?

On december 21st 2007, company AGROsolution launched into one of the most important future markets.

Agriculture and Food!

It is 100% growth energy derived from natural minerals and without any chemical additives!

AGROSOL was developed to enable and promote healthy plant growth.

Plants are supplied from the outside with foil and soil fertilizers, providing for missing nutrients. As water becomes scarce and groundwater tables recede, supplying the plants with sufficient amounts of water is becoming increasingly difficult. As a consequence, artificial irrigation needs to be applied. 

These two factors (supply of nutrients and water from alternative sources) have been common knowledge for quite some time. However, what is still largely unknown (especially in open land cultivation) is CO2 fertilization.

Plants need a certain CO2 balance to achieve ideal growth. The optimum level for photosynthesis is a CO2 content between 0.1 and 1.0 percent by volume. Air has a CO2 content of only 0.03 % by volume. Therefore, plants are operating way below their full potential. 

The plant is literally „struggling for air“. This is where AGROSOL comes into play. 

AGROSOL is mixed with water and is applied onto the leaves surface via a fine spray mist. Since the discharge of CO2 takes place inside the leaf, this CO2 production does not generate a burden for the environment.

In fact, quite the opposite is true: the plant converts the CO2 into glucose and proteins, discharges higher amounts of oxygen, and thus contributes toward the „green lung“ effect. Once AGROSOL has been sprayed as a fine mist onto the leaf surface, it enters the plant via the stomata. The minerals discharge CO2 inside the plant. This boosts the production of glucose and proteins and in turn, increases the amount of oxygen discharged into the environment.

AGROSOL can be mixed with all commercially available fertilizers and plant protection materials.

Agrosol has distribution world wide. Their Asian Network manages 22 Countries, including Malaysia.
World class product! How can we acquire it? Well, MNC, world class products, this is only made available to the big boys, big corporate plantation in very high potent commercial scale volume and packing.

As I am back to being an entrepreneur, me and my friend is thinking, what about the Gardeners? Hobbyist? Enthusiast? Small & Mid size farmer? Wouldn't this product we great for us? We are organizing to make this available to this group of users. Do us a favor. Leave a comment so that we can gauge the response and anticipate the quantity of this first batch and method of delivery. This express of interest is strictly under no obligation.

Why are we doing this? The more users, the more oxygen!
