What does Impello Biosciences Lumina do for plants?
Impello Biosciences Lumina is a bioavailable organic amino acid supplement that promotes plant vigor, improves nutrient availability, and helps crops tolerate abiotic stress. Lumina can also correct nutrient deficiency-based disorders, support beneficial microbial activity, and enhance overall crop quality and yields.
Is Impello Biosciences Lumina compatible with hydroponic and soil growing systems?
Yes, Impello Biosciences Lumina is formulated for use in soil-based, soilless, and hydroponic growing media, as well as field applications. Lumina can be applied as a root drench throughout the entire plant life cycle up to the day of harvest, making the supplement versatile across a wide range of growing environments.
Is Impello Biosciences Lumina OMRI certified and made from natural ingredients?
Yes, Impello Biosciences Lumina is OMRI certified and made from 100% natural ingredients, making Lumina suitable for organic growing programs. The product is also third-party tested and quality controlled for consistency.
How often should Impello Biosciences Lumina be applied, and at what dosage?
Impello Biosciences Lumina is typically applied once every 1 to 3 weeks alongside a standard fertilizer regimen, though Lumina can be applied more frequently based on crop requirements. For container growing, the recommended root drench rate is 10 to 20 mL (2 to 4 teaspoons) per gallon of water. Field applications call for 0.5 to 4.0 liters per acre per application for both root drench and foliar use.
During which growth stages can Impello Biosciences Lumina be used as a foliar spray?
Foliar applications of Impello Biosciences Lumina are recommended during both the vegetative and flowering phases, stopping approximately 2 weeks before harvest. Root drench applications of Lumina can continue all the way up to the day of harvest.
Can Impello Biosciences Lumina be tank-mixed with other products?
Yes, Impello Biosciences Lumina is designed to improve nutrient availability when added to tank mixes containing additional nutrients. For best results, Lumina can be tank-mixed with Impello Tribus for both foliar and root drench applications.
What is the N-P-K of Impello Biosciences Lumina, and what is the source of the amino acids?
Impello Biosciences Lumina has an N-P-K of 0.5-0-0.5, reflecting a low-dose, targeted amino acid profile rather than a heavy fertilizer load. The product is derived from shrimp, so growers with shrimp allergies should handle Lumina with appropriate precautions.
