Hi Paul,
Pests
and disease are a sign of weak plants, it is natures method of ensuring survival
of high quality growth, the same as the law of the jungle.The reason that urea
fertilised growth attracts insects is that there is too much nitrogen at one
time, its application kills microbes and creates an imbalance of nutrients
within the plant, similar to too much alcohol in humans.This imbalance weakens
the growth of the plant, which signals the insects to attack it. I do not like
using singular fertilisers of any kind, but get very good results from the use
of complex fertilisers. This allows the plants the balance to produce sucrose or
soluble sugars, which insects cannot digest, therefor no insect attack.This can
be easily monitored with the use of a refractometer, and is also a measurement
of nutrition of the plant. Remember, good nutrition is good health, for the
soil,plants, animals and humans.
