Sweet-n-Sour Anti-aging Bushfood   Did you know that some plants produce fruits or flowers directly on their trunks?!    The Davidson’s Plum (Davidsonia jerseyana) is one example of a fruit that is cauliflory, meaning they are born on the trunk.   The plums are dark blue-purple on the outside, and pink on the inside, and considered “Bush Tucker” (Bush Food) in Australia, and used in jams, wine, ice-cream and sauces.   The sweet-sour Davidson’s Plums have been mostly popular as a delicious jam, but as bushfoods are on the rise in Australia, they are picking up interest in other applications. With a tart flavor, and large crops, they are commonly also eaten by the Australian king parrot.    As it is endemic to the rainforests of New South Wales on the east coast of Australia, today, unfortunately the plant is considered Endangered, and actions are underway to try to ensure long-term viability of the species.    There are commercial crops grown in orchards in Australia, as well, as there has been renewed interest in Bush Foods.   The plums are known to contain tartaric acid, gallic acid, quercetin and anthocyanins, which are responsible for their color.   One application found on the market is for anti-aging due to these phytochemical compounds, as the reported antioxidant capacity of the Davidson’s Plum is higher than blueberry. It is also a good source of potassium and also contains lutein, vitamin E, folate, zinc, magnesium and calcium.   #APlantADay #UsefulPlants #MedicinalPlants #Ethnopharm #Ethnobotany #BushFood **This content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Unlock the Secret to Hydroponic Plant Health! 🌿💧 . Ready to take your hydroponic gardening to the next level? Let's delve into the essential nutrients your plants need to thrive and how to maintain optimal levels for maximum growth! 🌱✨ . Essential Nutrients for Hydroponic Plants: . 🌱 Nitrogen (N): Vital for leafy green growth and overall plant development. 🌱 Phosphorus (P): Supports root development, flowering, and fruit production. 🌱 Potassium (K): Enhances plant resilience to stress and disease while promoting fruit quality. 🌱 Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg): Essential for cell wall structure, photosynthesis, and nutrient uptake. 🌱 Sulfur (S): Aids in the synthesis of amino acids and proteins, crucial for plant growth and vitality. 🌱 Micronutrients (Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Boron, Molybdenum): Trace elements essential for enzyme activity, chlorophyll production, and overall plant health. Maintaining Optimal Nutrient Levels: . 💧 Conduct Regular Testing: Monitor nutrient levels using a pH and EC (electrical conductivity) meter to ensure they remain within the optimal range for plant growth. 💧 Adjust pH and EC: Regularly adjust the pH of your nutrient solution to maintain a stable pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. Adjust the EC to provide the correct concentration of nutrients for your plants' growth stage. 💧 Follow Feeding Schedule: Adhere to a feeding schedule tailored to your plant's growth stage, adjusting nutrient concentrations as needed. 💧 Monitor Plant Health: Keep a close eye on your plants for signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses, such as yellowing leaves, stunted growth, or leaf curling. 💧 Flush Regularly: Periodically flush your hydroponic system with fresh water to remove excess salts and prevent nutrient buildup. . #HydroponicGardening #PlantNutrition #HydroponicNutrients #PlantHealth #HydroponicTips #GrowYourOwn #IndoorGarden #UrbanGardening #HealthyPlants #NutrientManagement #HydroponicTechniques #PlantCare #HydroponicLife #GreenThumb #HydroponicFarming #NutrientBalance #GrowStrong #SustainableGardening #HydroponicSolutions #MaximizeGrowth

How to achieve good bunch formation in Grape crop?                                                                   After fruit pruning, bunches generally start emerging about 12 to 15 days. However, during this period, cloudy weather or rain is often prevalent. When there is cloudy weather during the bunch initiation period, the resulting to be weak bunches. To strengthen such bunches, grapevines need nutrients like Calcium, Zinc and Boron. Calcium is an essential component of cell structure and no cell growth or cell  formation is possible without it. Similarly, Boron is necessary for cell division and formation. Zinc is essential for cell growth and elongation. Therefore, Calcium, Boron and Zinc are crucial for the overall growth of the bunches. To fulfill this requirement, spraying should be done 1 or 2 times before the flowering stage, after fruit set for achived the proper shape of bunches. For this purpose, use Basfoliar Zinc WP (0.375 g/ lit. of water) + Basfoliar Boro SL (0.5 ml/ lit. of water) + Basfoliar Cover SL (2 ml/ lit. of water) for spraying.

Optimal timing of application of 2,4-D on ‘Navel’ sweet orange reduces the size of the navel-end ‘Navel’ sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (Osbeck)] fruit with large, open, or protruding navel-ends are predisposed to splitting and navel-end rot, and provide an entry point that hampers the control of insect pests. A reliable method to reduce the size of navel-ends, without compromising tree health or fruit quality, would provide multiple benefits.The objective of this study, was to determine the optimal timing and concentration of foliar spray treatments with the synthetic auxin, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), to reduce the size of the navel-end on ‘Newhall Navel’ and ‘Washington Navel’ sweet orange fruit. The effects of 2,4-D treatment on fruit yield, tree health, and fruit quality, were also assessed.Treatments were applied to ‘Newhall Navel’ trees at a rate of 25 mg l–1 2,4-D at 2-weekly intervals, starting at full bloom (FB), and continuing until 4 weeks after 100% petal drop (PD). On ‘Washington Navel’ trees, 2,4-D was applied at 15 mg l–1, 25 mg l–1, or 35 mg l–1 at FB, or at 100% PD. Click here to read the full article on our web. https://lnkd.in/djexVt94

Can maturity starts at the end of the bud differentiation stage ? This typically happens between 60-90 days after foundation pruning. In the stage the colour of the cane transforms first to a milky white colour then to the brown colour of a mature cane. Warmer temperatures result in better cane maturity, whereas overcast and rainy conditions delay the maturity. Management practices like pinching of the shoots and removal of excess vegetative growth is essential to maintain proper microclimate in the vines. Nutrition Management: - It is important to stop use of Nitrogen during the cane maturity stage. Use of Potassic fertilizers is recommended. The Grapevine usually consumes about 25% of the total annual Potassium requirement during this 60-100 day period after foundation pruning. Potassium checks the vegetative growth of the vine at this stage and helps in cane maturity. The brown coloured mature cane is a result of lignin formation. A mature cane strengthens and nourishes the inflorescence primordia in the bud. When there is a chance of increase in Nitrogen levels due to climatic factors, it is advisable to use a product that has a small fraction of Molybdenum along with the Potassium.

One common weed we frequently encounter in the field is Common Plantain (𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳). A unique way to manage this weed while benefiting from its nutritional value is by incorporating the leaves into a stew. Young leaves of this plant can be enjoyed raw and make a great addition to salads. The seeds are also edible and can be used in various ways. It’s also worth mentioning that when the leaves are chewed or crushed and applied to the skin, they can help alleviate mosquito bites. #EdibleWeeds #CommonPlantain #HerbalRemedies

The Rose hip has a rich phytochemical profile shown to also support many different mechanisms in the human body. The Alaskan red Rose hip fruit and seeds, blue-purple blueberries, with twigs and leaves, and the Dandelion’s green leaves, stems, roots, and yellow flowers are filled with potent phytonutrients. These vibrant and nutritious phytochemicals protect and enhance the health of both plants and humans (Joseph, Nadeau, & Underwood, 2003). James Duke’s (2000) substantial USDA phytochemical database illustrates the mechanism of the world of plants in the support and maintenance of our health. Phyto Power is comprised of several species of wildcrafted blueberries, Rose hip, and Dandelion, including their leaves, stems, roots, and flowers. Along with Dandelion and Blueberry, Phyto Power contains three different species of Rosehip, wildcrafted, whole fruit and seeds (100% w/w), refractory dried, three Rosa species, 200mg per capsule.
