Why Insects Avoid Healthy Plants with Dr. Tom Dykstra and Dr. Elaine Ingham
Discover why insects steer clear of healthy plants with Dr. Thomas Dykstra!
✅ Find out more about Soil Food Web 👉 www.soilfoodweb.com/
Dive into examples where insects target lower-quality food and learn how to assess plant health using a refractometer-a tool that measures the output of photosynthesis. Dr. Dykstra also touches on the role of broken versus complete proteins in insect digestion. Plus, don't miss the detailed chart explaining four levels of plant health and how they relate to different insect groups. This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in plant-insect interactions!

----------
The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA's Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.
Dr. Thomas Dykstra has served the past 26 years as the Laboratory Director of his own lab, Dykstra Laboratories in Gainesville, Florida. Dr. Dykstra consults for farmers, agricultural companies, tech firms, attorneys, international governments, and insurance agencies and holds three degrees from Cornell University and the University of Florida. He instructs both farmers and agricultural consultants how to raise healthy crops for their families and for profit.

    Exceptional results. 6777 micrograms of fungal biomass per gram of soil?? That's unheard of! Can we please get someone to verify your findings with another study? This should be the subject of major scientific study.

    John's comment about research not considering the health of the plant mirrors animal/human research. This is a point I've discussed numerous times in other arenas. Most medical research in humans does not use individuals adapted to fasting. Sure, they may fast for a short time prior to the study, but in terms of adapting to the shift in energy metabolism and underlying hormetic responses that occur over long periods of practice, research is limited. Recent research is slowly catching up, to be fair. What this suggests is that much of what we have come to understand about human patho / general physiology may be missing critical pieces of the puzzle. First time I've heard someone else bring up this point, and in plants no less. I've been interested lately in the link between modulation of stress response pathways in animals models as it pertains to healthspan and longevity, and in plants as they pertain to secondary metabolism and it's very cool how many similarities there are as it pertains to optimization of underlying biological systems.

    You were mentioning taking small samples of material from forest floors, etc. I thought of a tree increment borer. But not sure it would work with soil samples. But it does extract a very small core sample. With very little damage.

    Just curious if this a rebuttal to the newly crafted indigenous predatory microbes in the Natural Farming realm. I agree that healthy plants do not get bothered as much but its not universal, many pests will attack healthy plants, Plants gain more resiliency through healthy soil which in turn makes healthy plants. These plants will not be completely immune to pests., What about things like coffee borer beetles and other pests? Sure aphids whie flys thrips and that stuff cant really munch on healthy plants with resiliency but I do not think this is universally true

    I've been tell people for the last 5 years that insects only attack unhealthy plants. I learned this by not tilling, I don't use pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. I will have tons of squash Beatles around my plants but they never touch my plants. They eat the dead leaves that fall or I cut off. When the life cycle of the plant ends in August they will clean up my dieing plants then.

    @John-hu9bo Yeah, and dishwashers want to make an impact through cleaning the dishes, not politics. We can all make senseless excuses like that. Regenerative farmers are not immune for the disasters that are waiting to happen if nothing is going to change, let alone if things are only going to be worse. So perhaps you should think about what your priorities should be. When your house is on fire it is not the right moment to think about redecorating it. Then your priority should be to save the people and to put out the fire. with your attitude and senseless excuses there won't be a house left to redecorate. Just a thought.

    I am unsubscribing from all the American content creators out of protest for what happened with the election. My conscience doesn't allow it to ignore it. I have to make a stand. And there is not much else that I can do that might have some sort of impact. The American society has become a society that I can no longer support in any way. And right now the thought that American people are making money because I watch their videos is unbearable for me. Perhaps that I will return when the situation has changed. But for now I have to follow my conscience. I cannot participate in a society that chooses for darkness. I am sorry that it has to be this way, but that is the only way that I can speak out and perhaps make a difference.

    I can answer that question of insect predator prey. This is just in my 1 acre food forrest. I have been working for the last 5 years on adding trees, building good soil biology, adding terracing to hold water, etc. This year I have had the most live in my yard. Spiders everywhere, multiple families of birds raised, skinks and lizards, praying mantis, parasitic wasp, native bees I have never seen before, and despite a drought, the greenest plants and yard in the neighborhood. No pesticide, only natural fertilizers, garden tone and fish/kelp, sugar, calcium, compost and compost tea.

    I was also gone mad after listening to Tom Dykstra. The video was uploaded by Jhon Kempf at AEA. And I was using brix meter everywhere and many times I am getting brix above 15 but insects also feeding on plants. I was very disappointed. But later I came to know it was not sugar level. It was mixed with salt level. So sugar level is true reading. Brix dont show exact situation.
