Suppression Against Disease and Insects

Fish solubles have been found through various trials to protect plants against various diseases and insects.

Bacterial Spot

Tomatoes: In a 2000 field study in London, Ontario, OmegaGrow used a 1% spray solution once a week for 10 weeks produced a 67% increase in marketable yield, 51% increase in total yield, and 13% reduction in bacterial spot compared to no treatment and Actigard.

Peppers: In a 2000 field study in London, Ontario, OmegaGrow used a 1% spray solution once a week for 10 weeks produced a 27% reduction in bacterial spot and a 35% increase in yield, compared to a no treatment and Actigard.

 
 

 

Damping Off Disease

Radishes: Then this field study showed the effect of OmegaGrow on Rhizoctania. Peat mix was heated alone or after mixing with OmegaGrow (OmegaGrow 4% m/m PM). Rhizoctania solani inocolum was added after the heat treatment. Radish seedlings were planted 1,7, 14 and 28 days after incubation. Plants were rated 2 weeks after planting for damping off.

 
 
The experiment was done again without heating the soil and adding increasing amounts of OmegaGrow into the soil.
 
 
Cucumbers: The same experiment was done with cucumbers in peat mix on the left and muck soil on the right. This shows the difference between the control group and the group with OmegaGrow added at 4%.
 
 

Here are the results for cucumbers in peat mix with increasing amounts of OmegaGrow.

 

 

 

Potato Scab

Experiments at the University of Florida indicated that addition of OmegaGrow not only suppressed potato scab but increased yield and size of potatoes.

 
 

Greasy Spot

University of Florida tests also showed OmegaGrow Plus to have a positive affect on controling greasy spot (Epiphytic Growth).

 
 
Rating Scale:  0 = No visible epiphytic growth, 5 = Intense growth covering entire area
 

Citrus Rust Mite

Another test showed the effectiveness of SeaCide for control of Citrus Rust Mite on Hamlin oranges.
