FAQs
What are Saponins and how do they benefit plants?
Saponins are a type of complex carbohydrate (glycoside) found in most vegetables and herbs. They provide plants with several benefits, including integrated pest management, improved wetting abilities for the soil, and soil rejuvenation. Their bitter taste and toxicity to insects also make them a natural defense mechanism for plants against bugs.
How do Saponins improve water penetration and nutrient uptake in plants?
Saponins are amphipathic molecules, meaning they work in both polar and non-polar conditions, such as water and oil. Their unique structure and foaming characteristics allow water to penetrate plant roots more efficiently, leading to optimal nutrient uptake and reduced need for frequent watering.
Can Saponins be used as an insecticide for plants?
Yes, Saponins can break down into their Aglycone Carbon Backbone, which is toxic to insects. This makes them an effective natural insecticide, especially when used in combination with other natural substances like Aloe and Agsil.
What is the recommended dosage for using Saponins with plants?
The recommended dosage of Saponins for plants is 2-5g per 10L of water. This can be used for both soil drench or regular watering and foliar spraying applications.
Are Saponins safe for use with all types of plants?
Saponins are generally safe for use with a wide variety of vegetables and herbs. However, it is always best to test a small portion of your plants for any sensitivity or adverse reactions before applying Saponins to the entire plant or garden.
Can Saponins be mixed with other nutrients or additives?
Saponins can be mixed with other nutrients and additives for plants, but it is essential to follow the recommended dosage guidelines and compatibility instructions of each product. Avoid mixing incompatible substances, which could lead to reduced effectiveness or harmful effects on plants.
