I'm a certified pest control operator here in Florida and I can tell you that with the use of good slow release fertilizers, beneficial soil microbes and mycorrhizal fungi, my use of insecticides and fungicides has roughly halfed. I talk to my customers about soil health ALL THE TIME.

There are two slightly different views or approach : one says there are enough of all the atomic table of elements in the soil, but not enough life in there to make it plant available ar nutrition. And the other says that there are not enough or X Y and Z elements for life to make it available to plants. But what I see in my soil is that it is too permeable and water goes right down, and I don't see any earth worm. So for soil to work there must also be STRUCTURE to it, not too sandy, not too clay, a STRUCTURE. and worms, bacteria fungi etc..

Wow, this is so cool. I grew up in Sarasota, FL and some of the family dates back to 1822 farming in Florida. The earliest was up by Tallahassee, great grandfather grew watermelons there and later (1970+/-) Mangos down on Gulf Coast. Still have family there with 15,000 acres and part of that in citrus but cattle and some other crops too. I myself moved out west and have a group of 8-10 (myself 45 yrs experience and then Architect, 2 Permaculture farmers, Certified Food Producer, lady w/ master's in regenerative agriculture specializing in cattle/livestock management, another lady with masters in sustainable design, naturopathic doctor, etc.) and we design eco-communities, farms, greenhouses, homesteads, swimming pools and also ornamental landscapes too.....basically most type outdoor projects. I remember distinctly that 1962 freeze. In Sarasota, I believe at Christmas vacation and January, we left the sprinklers in front yard run overnight (on purpose) and next morning there were huge long icicles hanging off the palm trees and eaves so us kids could break off and play with them.

Thanks for the presentation. I am a South African Macadamia Nut Orchard Grower very aware of Plant Density, soil health and healthy plants. This season I have used very little herbicides, only mow grasses, with cover crops twice. I also use Bio Insecticides - Metarhizium , Trichoderma ,Fungal pest control( Beauvaria bassiana) etc. I notice my fellow growers compromising their Orchards by making excessive raised beds, that become compacted, no ground cover, continual pest spraying. I am forwarding the presentations to our senior CEO and Extension Staff. I wish them to listen to the presentations, and make the right decisions now, and change our industries Orchard health. Will you ask Dr. Dykstra to show us the Florida orange Orchards that are being converted to the right planting densities and the reduction of pesticides. What do they look like?

Wow. This was sad. This is what happens when soil biology is killed. Not only are the pesticides killing the microbes, but even if there was an established set of microbial organisms that were aerobic and good for the trees, there is only one species of plant! The point of farming is to mimic nature not control it. Where in nature would you find such a lack of biodiversity and trees planted this close together??? (nowhere). Reason why is because the lack of fungi. If you have soil that has standing water, there is no doubt that it is contaminated with anaerobes. Anaerobic bacteria attack and kill beneficial saprophytic and endo/ecto mycorrhizal species of fungi. This leaves the root systems "naked" and completely susceptible to phytophthora, root eating nematodes, and other pathogens that make the tree so week that the insects are destroying them unchallenged. The fact that some people can still profit by replacing natural biology with synthetic chemical input, essentially defying nature, is mind boggling. If they take the Dr. Elaine Ingham approach, the trees would stand a much better chance to put it mildly.
@floridanaturalfarming3367
@floridanaturalfarming3367 2 года назад
No it is the change in soil ph caused by the management which cause compaction that attract the wrong kind of plant disease causing microbes and nutrients that thrive in the wrong soil ph. I am certain, soil anaerobic microbes have never been studied in detail to actually know that they are classified as all bad for plants. I am certain the plant enabling endophytes growing in the plant can function as anaerobic microbiology. I also would assume that nitrogen fixing microorganisms have the capability to be anaerobic or are anaerobic microbes.

Look it up because it is quickly becoming a HUGE problem for many crops in the state of Pennsylvania and spreading out further every year.

Hey Brian, I've been tracking and researching SLF for 3 years as it slowly moves towards us - a vineyard- in NC. We are a Regenerative Ag operation, driven by a biological and soil food web approach. Our aim is to eventually hit Brix 12-14, as we trust what Dr. Dykstra, John and Dr. ELaine say about this warding off all pests and disease. We also had heard SLF attacks healthy plants but I've not seen evidence of this yet. Can you supply a reference for your comment. Plus it would be useful for you to define what you mean by 'healthy'. Have you seen Dr Ds other AEA presentation 'Why insects do not attack healthy plants'? In it he answered a question from me - at the end - and confirmed this also applies to SLF. Time will tell, but my faith in these guys is complete. Look forward to hearing back Best Martin

@@martinsatyen7833 yes, I've seen many of both of their videos. Most of my research for the spotted lantern fly has been through watching RU-vid videos about it. Seems like 1 easy way to reduce your vulnerability to them is a trap that some little girl came up with. It's kind of like a skirt around the tree or plant trunk that keeps them from crawling up and traps them. I heard scientists are working on pheromones to help with combating them, like people do with Japanese beetles. The biggest problems with them is not much will eat them and they're not species specific for what they attack so everything is on the menu for them which really sucks.

Not aware any are Regen Ag so I expect them to be hard hit and need to chemically napalm their vines. As I stated, that's not an option for us so my Aim is Brix 14...or at least Brix 7-9 which is where SLF falls as a sucking insect, according to Dr. D. Also looking at mycocides - fungal bioinsecticides - which have been successful in trials up in Pennsylvania, carried out by Cornell. Your end comment made me smile...

Related to the previous question... When starting out on a piece of land, the soil is in poor shape, so the pests come. Should we tolerate the pests, just in attempts to grow enough organic matter to get compost and microbes going, in order to bring soil health up? Or should we keep tossing the plants that get infested when the pests are first noticed? Are there any plants that might be more resistant and produce organic matter to get compost going and kickstart a new plot of land?

It's not the tree- it's how it is grown and where it is grown. I hope to start experimenting soon om my citrus trees using fermented oak leaf sprays to mimic being under an oak tree.

43:50 in California those screens are deployed on mandarins during bloom to prevent pollination and to make seedless fruits. One of reasons high density was pushed at least here in CA was to keep the plant short so that labor doesn't have to use ladders to pick fruits. Lowers costs and liability.

I'm just a backyard gardener, but I do wonder...If I see aphids attacking something I am growing, should I attempt to kill off the aphids, using organic means, manual removal, etc, or should I just toss the plant? Or in other words, is there a point of no return where the plant is just not worth saving? Or can they recover if given attention? I assume the presence of pests lowers the health, which in turn attracts more pests, and maybe the plant could increase its own health if the pests were removed.

First, let me say that your videos are inspirational and have greatly helped me in recovering a nutritionally depleted butterfly exhibit. I cannot thank this channel enough for helping me to understand the transitions as I reform this exhibit to a more healthy system. As a person with a graduate degree that applies to my work, I would say that I can think of one group of examples that goes against what you have mentioned: insects that co-opt their host's defenses for their own. While I do not have information on the Brix numbers, there is a good documentation for the preference of Danaus plexippus for host plants with higher levels of secondary metabolites. In this situation, a healthy plant may actually be more susceptible to a chewing insect than an unhealthy plant. Of course, this consideration may not be as applicable to Rutaceae as it is to Apocynaceae or, the more economically more significant, Solanaceae. Still, it is, I think, an important consideration for obligate herbivores of otherwise highly toxic plants.

I'm curious what dwarf root stock would do to the brix numbers. I understand the point that intermingling and overcrowded roots of the Florida citrus industry has contributed to the detriment of the industry. Having said that, I am curious if you can keep healthy root stock ecosystems (with microbes intact) assuming you plant with the appropriate spacing of the choosen root stock. Would the citrus planted on it would maintain healthy brix levels (as one key indicator of health) or is that just another case of playing too much God, for lack of a better term. Is expecting that a different type of tree rootstock will fulfill all the needs nutritionally of a different type of tree a large hindsight? Have different rootstock been studied to show healthy brix levels or rather that the trees are just healthy enough to be "maitained" by industrial means? Is the dwarf root stock just unfit to sustain the desirable tree to the necessary brix levels? I know a lot of people suggest dwarf rootstock fruit trees as a means of getting the fruit you want without the danger of large ladders and the like. I'd love to see some studies to see if dwarf rootstock could help with planting density, while maintaining healthy trees that can fight their own battles just as forests do every day.

Locally the attitude is quite simple. 'We (Farmers) were paid to take it (the natural world) all away, and now we're getting paid to put it all back'. So at some point we'll all need to find a way around the obsticle of this socially embedded attitude, because as you know, you can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink; and your presentation - a great presentation, makes this point in spades. The thing about birds, they embrace good intention, so if you build habit, they stay, increase in numbers and work for free. I believe you have the tool (plant sap analysis) to monitor their interaction within an orchard and John is a master at bringing trees into production, injecting calcium in some format. I believe he has brought a cherry orchard from saplings to full production within three years - I'm guessing birds know something about trees and driving the calcium cycle, so there's a great match. Oh Gavin, the idea that we, the human population can be trusted to be retain the ethics of regenerative farming long term, is, if you'll excuses the pun, 'for the birds'. We might bump start the system, but I've yet to see it organically spill over into the neighbours field. A some point well need to find a way of handing it back to nature in a way that crosses boundaries and borders. You can tweet your reply 🙂
