Key Takeaways

✦

Consider implementing a 'booster rate' application of biostimulants like MitoGrow for struggling plants, rather than just maintenance rates, to see significant improvements.

✦

Document and photograph before-and-after results of innovative treatments to create strong visual evidence for your sales process and client education.

✦

Be prepared to adapt and pivot your plant health care programs based on observed results and customer needs, even if it means changing established practices.

✦

Explore biostimulants for turf health, especially for high-stress areas like sports fields, to promote root growth and improve resilience.

✦

Investigate biostimulants as an alternative or complementary treatment for plant diseases, particularly when traditional fungicides are not yielding desired results, focusing on building plant health.

✦

Understand the optimal application rates and methods for products like MitoGrow on different plant types (trees vs. turf) to maximize their effectiveness.

✦

Engage clients in the 'experiment' process of new treatments; transparency and shared goals can build trust and acceptance of innovative solutions.
