PreBiotech is a by-product of the shellfish industry and comprised of 100% crab and/or lobster shell. Unused crab and lobster shells are collected, pasteurized, dried, pulverized and micronized to form a powder capable of passing through a 200-mesh screen.

Fundamentally IPM is creating a complete management system for indoor/outdoor growing
UC Davis Defines IPM as:
“Integrated pest management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines, and treatments are made with the goal o removing only the target organism. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial organisms, and the environment.”
