What do we mean by "Smart Growing"

"Smart Growing" means making crops so strong that they produce healthy food. Food that is characterized by taste, natural flavors and good storage properties. The focus is on promoting the plant's own defense mechanisms and healthy growth. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to avoid any kind of oxidative stress. The most important factors

  • an active, healthy soil life
  • water-retaining, humus-rich soil systems
  • no nutrient deficiencies
  • Avoiding or reducing chemical pesticides
  • Protection against environmental pollution such as geoengineering & electromagnetic fields

Soil biology

Our crops depend on the soil containing all the nutrients they need to build amino acids (growth). The earth can be seen as being somewhat analogous to the human intestinal system. If the soil is healthy and fertile, the plant is healthy and has a strong immune system. Infections cannot harm it. The most important factors

  • few residues from chemical pesticides
  • sufficient oxygen in the fine root horizon
  • an active, broad microbiome that supports the plant in its health
  • a humus and mineral content that covers the nutrient requirements of the crop

Plant's own defense

In the world of plant health, just like in humans, the immune system plays an essential role in warding off diseases. Plants are able to communicate with each other and exchange information. If an infection occurs in the plant world, the plants can specifically produce antibodies that are directed against precisely this pathogen. The soil microbiome is sometimes also called upon to do this. The colonizing microorganisms also help the plant to stay healthy. However, these symbioses are extremely sensitive. Whenever stressors occur, the immune system is reduced. From this perspective, all new stresses that occur for the plant world (see below) are particularly problematic.

Preventive Plant Protection

Preventive plant protection with pesticides leads to a weakening of the plant's own defenses via various mechanisms.

  1. The plant's own defenses are downregulated. The plant's immune system is weakened.
  2. The pesticides weaken the vital biome of the plant. The protective functions and valuable symbioses provided by the microorganisms are reduced.
  3. The chemical molecules of the deep-acting agents trigger oxidative stress in the plant. Oxidative stress disrupts the plant's protein synthesis. Its cell sap changes. The plant becomes more attractive to pathogens.
  4. The chemical pesticides affect the pathogens. They change their structure in order to defend themselves. We then speak of resistance. As a result, the plant's own natural defenses also find it increasingly difficult to produce suitable toxins to protect themselves.
  5. Other pathogens with previously unknown effects enter the natural stage and new or previously rarely encountered plant diseases suddenly appear.

In studies with various fungicides on vines, the incidence of powdery mildew and grey mould increased after fungicide treatment compared to pure water. (Chaboussou 1967/ 1968) Once pesticides have been used, a vicious circle begins. Increasing resistance means more and more expenditure, shorter spraying intervals and more aggressive pesticide mixtures. This development is particularly evident in susceptible varieties and crops.

Exposure to Geoengineering & EMF

The chemical molecules used to manipulate the weather put a strain on our plants and all the microorganisms that live in symbiosis with them. Various substances such as aluminum compounds, various heavy metals, polyfluorinated chemicals (PFAS) are sprayed into the sky to implement weather manipulation. The supposed protection of our planet from global warming is harming all living things on earth. You can find out more about this at the following link: https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/introducing-geoengineering-climate-engineering-to-the-uninformed/

In addition, there are EMFs (electromagnetic fields) which also affect plant metabolism. They inhibit growth and reduce the immune system of all living things. These new, hidden burdens on our environment are making plants and animals increasingly vulnerable, and it doesn't matter whether you grow your plants organically or conventionally. Smart Growing is therefore helpful for every type of cultivation.

This is what we want to achieve!

  • Change your perspective

    The moment one's point of view changes, everything changes. In our view, the current system of agricultural chemistry is leading to a dead end. The damage caused by this system is so insidious that the connection between cause and effect is hardly perceptible.

  • Recognize the connections

    Sometimes all it takes is a little thought to achieve significant improvements. This is exactly the kind of thought we want to stimulate with Smart Growing. Then, step by step, you will gain a deeper understanding and then realize that it is actually not that difficult. So take your first step.

  • Draw your own conclusions

    With our suggestions, you can develop your own exit strategy. Agricultural chemistry is on the decline. Prepare yourself to become more independent of this system and its advice. Gain your own experience. Create networks of like-minded people and exchange ideas with one another. Everything is much easier when you work together.
