Leigh’s Story: Seeing Real Results with DCT
How DCT Products Made a Difference for Leigh
We have been using DCT Seaweed Plus and Lazerhume this past season, and our Piqa Boo pears have never looked so good. The trees appear healthier than ever and are holding a strong crop, which we haven’t seen for many years.
The Science Behind Leigh’s Results
A. Improved Tree Health and Vigour
DCT Seaweed Plus and Lazerhume support tree physiology by:
Stimulating root growth and branching, allowing better nutrient and water uptake.
Enhancing stress tolerance through improved hormone signalling and antioxidant activity.
Supporting soil microbial activity, which improves nutrient availability in the rhizosphere.
Healthier trees are better able to maintain foliage, recover from stress, and allocate energy into reproductive growth, which aligns with the observed stronger crop load.
B. Increased Fruit Retention and Yield
Improved nutrient availability and uptake efficiency can:
Reduce fruit drop.
Support balanced vegetative and reproductive growth.
Maintain adequate carbohydrate and mineral supply during critical fruit development stages.
This explains the “holding a good crop” observation.
C. Soil and Root Interaction
Lazerhume and seaweed extracts can improve soil structure and microbial activity:
Stabilising organic matter in the soil, which improves water and nutrient retention.
Enhancing root exudation and microbial symbiosis, aiding nutrient cycling and mineralisation.
Better root-soil interactions underpin sustained tree health and productivity over the season.
