Lettuce Grow | JANUARY 23, 2024

At Lettuce Grow, we are dedicated to empowering individuals to grow their own fresh produce with ease and confidence. A critical aspect of any successful gardening endeavor is the management of pests and diseases, which can be daunting and confusing, especially when trying to maintain organic practices. This is why we are aligned with Arber’s commitment and scientific approach to organic pest and disease prevention.

Understanding Arber’s Biologicals: Nature's Own Defense Mechanism



is not just another line of products; they represent a philosophy that merges nature’s wisdom with scientific innovation. The core of their efficacy lies in what Arber terms ‘Biologicals’ – these are naturally occurring microbes and plant extracts that work in harmony with your garden’s ecosystem. Biologicals are the unsung heroes in the natural world, often derived from bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. These agents operate in several ways to protect plants:

1. Competitive Exclusion



Beneficial microbes outcompete harmful ones for space and resources on a plant's surface.

2. Antibiosis



Certain microbes produce substances that are detrimental to pathogens, effectively keeping them at bay.

3. Induced Resistance



Plants have an immune-like system that can be bolstered by the presence of specific microbes, much like a vaccine works in the human body.

Arber’s organic sprays are teeming with these beneficial microbes, alongside botanical oils and plant extracts that have co-evolved with plants for millions of years. This synergy is designed not just to react to problems but to prevent them, keeping your plants resilient and healthy.
