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.

    This is not a convincing presentation. Of course, there are thousands and ten thousands of insects that do not compete at all with us. However, there are thousands and maybe ten thousands that DO compete. In addition to that, it is a super romantic view that we could just let nature do its thing, and everything will be fine. That's nonsene. If you really DEPEND on your crop, you have to protect it. This video is a waste of time.

    What a fascinating video. Thank you so much for making it available. Genuinely learned a lot. In the extremely unlikely event that dr Dykstra reads these comments: can you use insect and pest load as a proxy for determining the strongest particular plant lineages for selective breeding purposes and plant improvement?

    Zero sources cited. Not one. Red flags left and right. He spends 10 minutes showing you data on himself, and not one minute showing us any data on plants or insects at all. Not one chart showing actual numbers. When prompted to rebut a published paper that contradicts his claims, he tears it apart and says he himself isn't allowed to publish, but, in essence, he knows stuff we don't that he isn't going to tell us, which is why we should trust he is correct. You know what happens when you publish? Your peers can review your DATA.

Is there any information on what to do to control them? I understand the brix learning more about it. If there is any information could you please let me know.

  • @PoissonPi

    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.

  • @steve37341
    @steve37341 Місяць тому

    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

    @25:00 well a fresh leaf of Spinach will have lower amounts of sugar than a leaf that’s been dehydrated by putting it in the fridge. Does that mean the dehydrated leaf is healthier because it has more sugar? No.
