STRUCTURING Ag Chemicals, Disinfectants, Pesticides, Insecticides

Do Your Water Sources Serve Their Purpose In Tank Mixes? Many chemicals and nutrients are added to water prior to application of their intended use. However, water plays the major role containing several factors that limit effectiveness.

Water affects the majority of commonly used Ag chemicals, which decompose rapidly when calcium, bicarbonates and higher pH persist as this produces hydrolysis. Hydrolysis of these compounds is reported as half-life or the time required for 50% of the active ingredients to hydrolyze to inactive material in aqueous solutions. The rate of decomposition is determined by the chemical make-up of the pesticide and is different for each compound. Organophosphates and carbamates are the principal types of chemicals affected the most.

Calcium, bicarbonates and higher pH affect them the most as they affect penetration and absorption rates of chemical compounds. The chemical compounds are actually split by water containing these characteristics and converted to inactive form.

When Structuring the carrier water, hydrolysis is significantly reduced to the point of an advisory application of chemicals. An advisory is to reduce the chemical by a minimum of 40% from recommended rates. It increases penetration by lowered water surface tension and increased half-life residual due to increased bio-photon energy of the water, which maximizes chemical effectiveness.

Also, by following the advisory application rates, it will lower phytotoxicity to all agricultural crops. One thing to be aware of is hydrolysis is irreversible and initial effectiveness is lost without structuring the carrier, water first. This is key.

This applies to Ag chemicals, disinfectants, pesticides, insecticides and even foliar feeding.

Food For Thought - Agriculture

In order to sustain life on earth food must be grown locally.

Diversifying crop production into small family farms and utilizing predatory selective insects, birds, insects, worms to open up hardpan soil and increase minerals to roots of plants.

Food should be grown locally fostering sustainability on every community through the small organic family farm.

Every living thing is supported by another living thing, even what farmers refer to as pests.

Let the dairy cows live as cows, pigs be pigs, chickens be chickens, etc., in uncrowded conditions, foraging on the seeds, grasses, insects and even some weeds which are natural to their historical evolution.

Agriculture and domestic drinking supplies are now being structured rather than stripped of their life content.

Gone is the need for growth hormones, and antibiotics fed to animals and birds.

A well diversified production of organic farming, feed animals naturally, structuring water reduces animal fatality, increases growth and health of animals, nurtures the root system of crops and their vitality for those who consume both crops and animals.

We are producing our food with insufficient mineralization at deep levels to the root systems.

The root of a plant is indicative of the health of our planet to the end consumer.

What attracts what we call pests is not genetically modified seeds but our own insistence on monoculture on large commercial farms and sick plants which the pests are designed to eat.

Our children are eating more and receiving less protein than we did 100-200 years ago.

The cause of wars and strife in many parts of the world is due to inefficient farm production lack of fertile land on which to sustain their people.
