Course

How to actively prevent pests

Healthy plants are naturally less attractive to pests and diseases. In this course, you’ll discover how plant health, mineral balance and beneficial microorganisms work together to improve crop resilience and reduce pest pressure. This course is also included in the Plant Empowerment Full Membership.

Prevention starts with the plant

Pests and diseases are often treated as the problem. But according to the Plant Empowerment philosophy, they are usually the result of an imbalance within the plant. By strengthening the plant’s natural resilience, improving nutrient balance and supporting a healthy root microbiome, you can make your crop less susceptible to insects, diseases and environmental stress.
