WHATS NEW.

From skin protection
to crop protection

A specialist formulation laboratory in Western Australia is using its 20 years of expertise in
natural organic wellness products for human health to focus on a solution for horticulture.

As pressure grows to find safe and sustainable solutions
for crop health, research is turning to mechanisms
which stimulate the plant’s natural defenses against
microbia diseases.

Research company Skin Elements Limited set out to find a formulation that was entirely plant-based, providing an eco-triendly bio-stimulant product that would also deliver results for the grower.
 
As concern grows around chemical residues, growers find themselves with fewer options to combat the growing microbial pressures on crops. When it comes to kiwifruit, healthy vines are the single biggest factor in achieving optimum yields and fruit quality. Unfortunately, in recent times in New Zealand as around the globe, factors such as Psa (Pseudomonas syringae pv. Actinidiae) and extreme weather events including flooding have put vines under immense pressure. The ability to withstand and recover from challenges can make a huge difference to outcomes and this is where high quality, thoroughly researched bio-stimulants can play a vital role.

ECO-Nurture plant bio-stimulant has been extensively trialled in New Zealand during the 2023 growing season, and alongside the excellent environmental profile of this product, the results have been sufficiently promising for Zespri to include ECO-Nurture on its 2024-25 Allowed Other Products Schedule.

Says Peter Malone, executive chairman, Skin Elements, “The outstanding results that ECO-Nurture has achieved is a further testament to the widespread efficacy of the SE Formula T” technology whilst maintaining natural and organic naturopathic principles.”

ECO-Nurture is available at all Horticentre outlets, or for enquiries contact ECO-Nurture New Zealand on 0274 425 408. For more information visit www.ECO-Nurture.com.au

 

an SE Formula Product – NATURALLY!

In an era burdened with recurring environmental challenges, and populations seeking safe and natural elements in all parts of the food supply chain, BIO-Stimulants have established themselves as the pathway to the future, where productivity, sustainability, plant resilience, and food security, coexist harmoniously. The New Zealand growers crop protection tool box has progressively been weakened, finding new biological tools are essential to ensure the future of our agricultural industry. ECO-Nurture provides the future pathway!

BIO-STIMULANTS

A GENUINE BREAKTHROUGH AS AN AGROECOLOGICAL
