[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7347132, member: 166"] Here's a large can of worms! No pun intended. Crop tonics, biologicals and other miracle cures in a can are about to be regulated more heavily. The market for pesticides is declining and the costs of developing new ones and getting them to market in Britain and the EU are prohibitive. Trace elements and stimulants are much cheaper to produce and regulate so have a higher mark up for the distributor. This might be a better question to ask in the Direct drilling forums, where you will get feedback from users of more regenerative techniques. In my own limited experience, some of these products only provide a yield response where conventional pesticide inputs have been cut right back. I haven't read the article you refer to, so can't comment too much, but Avia certainly aren't the only firm looking at this. [/QUOTE]
