Default Re: AZ41 - multi-purpose spray

I'd be glad to know how much is the total cost of using combination of other organic based products that would be as effective as AZ41 when it comes to use as organic insecticide, fungicide, nematicide, and can offer supplemental nutrition and at the same time enhance plant's immunity.

I know the total cost of using conventional inputs in some conventional farms and that AZ41 is at par or cheaper than these other inputs. When it comes to CCOF farms, we are the cheapest by far to produce high quality crop products. You would have to use a combination of many other organic products and more of them to achieve the same results, and the total costs are often not justifiable so farmers are not often using such amount to achieve blemish-free crops, and the organic farmer has to market sub-par crops. Spinosad for example and other bacterial-based products used to control insects require re-entry time after application and ours do not.

It even has come to point of compromise, and such lobbying efforts allowed exemption of using up to 10% inorganic or synthesized products when organic farming. You don't need to compromise into this exemption if you use AZ41. Well, we could easily boost our nutrition to 10% inorganic fertilizers and still satisfy requirements as organically approved farm inputs, but we don't need to resort into that. We can let the purists be pure in their organic pursuit, and we can still make the conventional farmers profitable and offer safer choices for their workers. The product is perfectly safe indoors as well, especially for hobbyists who value safety over quality, and we made it possible for farmers and hobbyists to achieve both.

And so far we found no organic based hydroponic products with all the plant protection and other beneficial properties that AZ41 has.
