Gildea, President of Converted Organics.

“Converted Organics products contain a host of valuable antioxidants and plant hormones such as cytokinin which in turn stimulate the plant to produce high levels of salicylic acid,” states William Torello, former Professor Emeritus of Plant and Soil and Insect Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and Director of Product Research and Development for Converted Organics. “This acid confers a natural resistance to fungal bacterial diseases. As a result of the plants reaction growers can drastically reduce their fungicide budget by as much as 75 percent.”
