EcoVie® for Hydroponics

EcoVie® for Hydroponics is first aid for your plants…don’t grow food with it!

EcoVie® is OMRI Listed™; improves the value of all organic commodities, improves the durability and shelf life of food crops and can be used for indoor or outdoor hydroponic growing systems.

EcoVie® for Hydroponics Ionic Trace Minerals is a one-of-a-kind product that improves health in all life forms; plant, animal and soil borne micro organisms. Plants extract minerals from soil like a mining operation to put them in food.  If you don’t restore the minerals you’ve taken away at harvest, the soil becomes depleted and so does your food in subsequent harvests. Restoration of soil borne minerals is essential for sustaining a healthy food supply.  Therefore hydroponic growing demands that you recreate this optimal nutrient condition each time you start a crop.  You need NPK but you also need all the micro nutrient minerals every time you grow.

EcoVie® is not a fertilizer; it makes all fertilizers work better.  Science has identified at least 52 elements, in addition to NPK, that must be present in the soil to grow healthy food.   Hydroponic growing requires mineral supplementation because you’re not growing in the earth.   For indoor growing EcoVie® provides all these same 52 elements and more to insure hydroponically grown food has maximum nutrient density. Some of these elements determine the flavor of foods and this is why modern food is sometimes completely tasteless. The lack of flavor is evidence of food grown in nutrient stripped soil. Potency in herbs and fragrance in flowers is also dependent on these same nutrient ionic minerals.

EcoVie® is sea minerals not seawater

EcoVie® is derived from ocean water in a process that removes the salt while leaving the minerals intact.  The ratio and proportions of elements found in the sea are nature’s perfect balance of elements and only ionic elements can enter the metabolic pathways into cells. Food borne nutrition is based on the synthesis of molecules with ionic elements extracted from the soil during growing.  Food borne ionic elements are released in digestion for absorption into the metabolic pathways. Ocean minerals provide not only the ionic requirement but the correct proportion of elements to sustain health.

EcoVie® takes the guesswork out of adding micro nutrient minerals – use it with any fertilizer.

Our independent analysis conducted on EcoVie® treated food crops has shown that essential micro nutrient content in food is raised nearly 15% in one application.  These tests prove that nutrient density can be greatly improved by supplementing with nutrient ionic minerals when you grow food with EcoVie® .

Food Crops: Mineral depleted food in the grocery stores from trace minerals stripped fields can be solved for you. Our water soluble 62 mineral combination assures you not only have the 40 science has deemed necessary, but also the other additional 22 that nature provides in the Earth.  Minerals stimulate the DNA code to produce stronger flavor and phytochemical nutrient content as well as help the plant to ward off insects and pathogens.

Perennial Herbs: Nutrient ionic minerals are essential for the formulation of essential oils and fragrance in herb plants. Potency in herbs is based on the nutrient value of the growing medium.  Furthermore root mass is also dependent on available ionic minerals to provide the ability to gather nutrients to synthesize essential oils and fragrance.  In fact plant genetics are activated by ionic minerals to stimulate the structures that create oils and resins.

Ornamentals and Flowers: Minerals are critical for the formation of cyanine pigment compounds found in the petals of flowers that reflect light frequencies on the edge of the visible range for color recognition by pollinator insects; many of which see in the near ultra violet.  Without these ancient identifiers for insects, less pollination by lack of recognition may be misunderstood as a bee die off.

EcoVie® assures that your flowers are faster growing, healthier and have better fragrance.

ScienceDaily (Apr. 29, 2008) — Watering tomatoes with diluted seawater can boost their content of disease-fighting antioxidants and may lead to healthier salads, appetizers, and other tomato-based foods, scientists in Italy report.

Besides their use in a variety of ethnic food dishes, tomatoes are one of the most commonly grown home garden vegetables, particularly cherry tomatoes. Scientists have linked tomatoes to several health benefits, including protection against prostate cancer and heart disease. Researchers have known for years that seawater does stimulate the growth of tomatoes  but scientists know little about its effects on the nutritional content of the vegetables.

In the new study, Riccardo Izzo and colleagues grew cherry tomatoes in both freshwater and in a dilute solution of 12 percent seawater. They found that ripe tomatoes grown in the salty water showed higher levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, dihydrolipoic acid, and chlorogenic acid. All of these substances are antioxidants that appear to fight heart disease, cancer, aging, and other conditions. Using saltwater to irrigate tomato crops also appears to be a promising alternative to freshwater irrigation, especially in the wake of water shortages in some parts of the world, the researchers note.

The article “Irrigation with Diluted Seawater Improves the Nutritional Value of Cherry Tomatoes” is scheduled for the May 14 issue of ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jf0733012
