Regenerative Agronomy

Summary:

In this conversation, Dr. Tom Dykstra discusses the intricate relationship between plant health, water management, and the role of mites in agriculture. He emphasizes the importance of understanding overwatering, the bioelectromagnetic aspects of plant physiology, and the nutritional needs of plants and insects. The discussion also delves into the complexities of insect perception and the implications of plant health on pest management strategies.

Takeaways:

Overwatering can lead to unhealthy plants that attract pests.

Mites play a role in cleaning out unhealthy plants.

Bioelectromagnetics can influence plant health and insect behavior.

Water quality is crucial for effective irrigation and plant growth.

Calcium is essential for plant health and nutrient uptake.

Insects perceive their environment through various frequencies.

Healthy plants can coexist with mites without significant damage.

The two-spotted spider mite thrives in dehydrated conditions.

Plant catabolism can attract pests like spider mites.

Understanding plant health is key to managing pest populations.

In this unique podcast we get the rare opportunity to interview Dr Arden Anderson and Dr Tom Dykstra after an epic conference in beautiful CDA Idaho.

Just before the podcast we discovered that both of these giants in the regen space studied under Dr Phillip Callahan, ("Tuning into nature") expert in antennas, communication, frequencies, and etymology and a legend in our space. Needless to say we unpack this gem.

We also take time to discuss what it takes to think deeply and make real progress by stepping out of super reductionism and studying with breadth as well as depth.

We hope you enjoy this podcast and please let us know if you would like to listen to more podcasts in this format.
