Arborgrow® Eco-Friendly Drought Survival Prescription

Problem

We are currently experiencing the most severe drought in recorded Georgia history. Many mature and recently planted trees are already stressed due to old age or transplant shock, and are not able to withstand current drought stresses. Trees in marginal condition are dying because they have reached the permanent wilting point. Water is the most significant and important component of plant life. It serves as the raw material for essential biological processes, including photosynthesis. In addition, the uptake of minerals that eventually combine with proteins to determine health occurs in water. The interruption or cessation of these natural processes is a catalyst for a chain of events initiating with low vigor, inevitably transitioning to decline, and culminating with premature death.

Good News

Plants are one of the oldest living life forms on Earth, and have genetically evolved with inherent defense and stress management mechanisms. So, the situation is not entirely hopeless. The answer lies in helping plants do what they are programmed to do, by creating the soil environment they are programmed to do it in. That is exactly what Arborguard’s Drought Survival Prescription accomplishes.

Tell Me More

It starts with the understanding that applying conventional fertilizers containing nitrogen and chemical salts creates an even heavier demand for water, because they can actually suck water out of plants. The result is escalating plant stress levels and aggravation of the problem. Arborguard’s Drought Survival Prescription represents the combination of common sense and soil science. The custom blend of black sea kelp, humates, yucca, soil fungi, hormones, amino acids, and micronutrients mixed with water and injected directly into the soil, which contain the absorption roots, is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Here is Why

• Soil water holding capacity is increased by as much as 200%
• The plant cells re-hydrate without drawing on energy reserves
• The plant is able to capture water from the humidity in the air
• Absorption of nutrients, minerals, and water are significantly enhanced
• The end result is that the plant is now enabled to engage the defense mechanisms and stress management processes genetic evolution has provided
