Systemic implanting is a method of nutrient application which addresses some of the issues with soil and foliar applications. First, the results are observed within weeks of the application. This is due to the fact the nutrient is implanted directly into the vascular tissue of the plant and is immediately available. Because of the vascular placement, systemic implants are an excellent way to apply nutrient when a plant is in a stress situation such as drought, damage from weather, construction, confined planters, fire or other external factors. Secondly, it is not unusual to control the deficiency for periods of two to three years. Thirdly, it is an environmentally safe way to apply nutrient because of the very small amounts of material needed to correct the problem and the closed system of application which has no negative impact on the soil or atmospheric environment. Systemic implants can also be used to control insect infestations in most ornamental trees, people, plants, wildlife and domestic animals are not endangered by this application technique when used according to the label.
Large ornamental trees are a priceless element to our urban and rural landscapes. Their value cannot be expressed in dollars. Unfortunately, there are conditions, sometimes created by nature and sometimes created by humans, that can put these priceless plants at risk. If such an occasion should occur systemic implants offer a unique therapy to return your trees to a healthy and vigorous state. When properly used, you can cure stressed and injured trees in the shortest amount of time, affordably and in an environmentally sound manner.
