General Hydropnics-YEA is a plant growth regulator that improves the yield, health and vigor of a plant, it is like using an organic growth hormone 1 Qt. YEA is a plant growth regulator that improves the yield, health and vigor of a plant, it is like using an organic growth hormone. YEA is a patented EPA registered concentrate containing chitosan oligomers and a chitosan salt. Chitin is a naturally occurring polymer found in many fungi.
Chitin also makes up the outer shell of insects and crustaceans.
YEA is an all-natural product manufactured from ocean crustaceans. When applied as a foliar application to plants it provides protection against fungal infection and increases structural strength. YEA also induces activation of genes, which produce protease inhibitors that help protect against insect attack. YEA also contains additional synergistic activators that enhance the bioactivity of the Glucosamine in plants. Research has demonstrated that when plants are exposed to the chitosan the plants respond by thickening cell walls.
