Karrikins and Seed Germination

from Hydroponics Daily · host Eutrema Ltd

Welcome to another episode of Hydroponics Daily! Today, we dive deep into the perplexing world of Karrikins, fascinating chemicals in the smoke of burning plant materials that can significantly boost seed germination and plant development. Discover how they mimic the plant hormone strigolactone and help in forming mycorrhizal connections, potentially enhancing branching and overall plant health. We also tackle the common confusion between silica and salicylic acid among our customers, explaining their distinct roles in plant strengthening and defense activation. Finally, hear about the ongoing struggles at Eutrema HQ, from sourcing mineral wool slabs to the challenges in the hydroponics industry, and how our dedication to soilless cultivation remains unwavering. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser/
