All CrabLife products and PreBiotech are comprised of nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium along with trace amount of other minor elements. They provide a preferred food source for beneficial microbes in the soil and on the surface of plant leaves including those associated with plant growth promotion and biological suppression of plant pathogens and parasitic nematodes. Bacterial species that are known to use CrabLife and PreBiotech as a preferred carbon source include Bacillus and Streptomyces associated with biological control.
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. PreBiotech serves as a food source for biocontrol bacteria including Bacillus. Paenibacillus Pseudomonas and Streptomyces species. Applying PreBiotech alongside a commercial biological fungicide comprised of chitinolytic bacteria will result in higher populations on the leaf surface 72 hours after application.
PreBiotech is a preferred food source for beneficial microbes on plant surfaces including those associated with plant growth promotion and biological suppression of plant disease. A unique blend of crustacean shell that has been micronized to allow for a rapid reaction time with microbes, PreBiotech creates new application opportunities for crops including vegetables, fruit trees, ornamentals, row crops and hemp.
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.
Apply PreBiotech at 0.5 to 1.0 pound per 100 gallons of spray water along with manufacturer’s recommended application rate for commercial biofungicides. Proper mixing and suspension in the spray tank through adequate agitation. Always test for compatibility between PreBiotech and other products prior to application.
