Silvo Organics works with commercial farms of all sizes looking to incorporate biologically active inputs into long-term soil and crop management programs. These farms receive access to commercial pricing, product guidance, and direct support integrating Silvo inputs into existing fertility and application systems.Our inputs are designed to complement established agronomic practices by supporting the biological processes that drive soil function, nutrient availability, and plant response. They can be used across a range of production models—including regenerative, organic, and conventional operations—where growers are looking to strengthen the biological side of their system.Because crop mix, scale, and management practices vary from one operation to another, biological inputs are typically integrated differently across each farm.

DILUTION & APPLICATION
Soil Drench:
•1-2 mL per liter (1:500 - 1:1000)
Foliar Spray:
• 1 mL per liter (1:1000)
Application:
• Apply during low-light periods when possible
• Avoid hot, dry midday conditions
• Jar test unfamiliar tank mixes before large-scale application
• Add after other inputs have been mixed
• Agitate thoroughly before and during application
Frequency:
• With most biological foliar applications as needed
• During periods where improved spray coverage is important
• When applying foliar programs to waxy or dense foliage
• Alongside biological, mineral, or fertility spray programs
• Reapply with each new spray batch rather than as a standalone treatment
COMPATABILITY
& CAUTIONS
Bio-Spreader integrates well into both biological and conventional spray programs, particularly where consistent foliar coverage and uniform application are important. It is commonly used alongside ferments, microbial inputs, mineral applications, and foliar nutrition programs to improve spray distribution without disrupting broader system balance.
• Liquid fertility programs (organic or conventional)
• Phosphorus and potassium programs
• Fish emulsions and hydrolysates
• Seaweed / kelp extracts
• Compost teas and microbial inoculants
• Humic and fulvic acid products
• Botanical extracts (FPJ / FPE)
• Most foliar nutrition and crop input programs
AVOID
APPLYING WITH:
• Strong oxidizers (including hydrogen peroxide products)
• Highly chlorinated water
• Copper-based materials unless tested first
• Sulfur-based spray programs unless tested first
• Spray combinations known to cause phytotoxicity or instability
Allow 5–7 days between applications when using these materials.
Rule of thumb:
If a product is intended to sterilize or heavily sanitize, apply it separately from Bio-Spreader and biological spray programs.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
FUNCTION & ROLE
Silvo Bio-Spreader functions as a plant-based spray additive that supports the physical distribution of water-based biological applications across plant surfaces. By reducing surface tension, it changes how spray solutions interact with foliage — helping ferments, minerals, microbial inputs, and foliar applications spread more evenly rather than collecting into large droplets or uneven coverage patterns. This influences how consistently foliar spray materials contact leaf tissue, particularly on waxy surfaces, dense canopies, or crops that naturally resist wetting.
Because it is formulated to integrate alongside biological inputs rather than function as a standalone fertility product, Silvo Bio-Spreader acts primarily as a support component within broader foliar and biological management programs.
IN PRACTICE,
Bio-Spreader is used to:
• Improve overall foliar coverage and spray uniformity
• Reduce excessive beading on waxy foliage
• Support more even distribution through dense canopies
• Improve contact between foliar inputs and leaf surfaces
• Reduce localized runoff and uneven application patterns
• Support consistency within biological spray programs
• Complement ferments, minerals, microbial applications, and foliar nutrition programs
More consistent application can help support greater uniformity across biological management programs — particularly in systems relying on repeated low-volume foliar applications and biologically active inputs.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.

PUMPKIN FERMENT
For plants carrying the weight of flower and fruit.
Pumpkin Ferment (Pumpkin FPE) is a plant extract made from mature sugar pie pumpkin, fermented to preserve soluble nutrients and plant-derived compounds associated with reproductive development and fruit maturation.
It is used in biological growing systems to support flowering, fruit set, and late-stage plant performance, helping maintain consistency as plants shift fully into reproductive growth.
Rather than acting as a primary nutrient input, it functions as a reproductive support — influencing how plants allocate energy, develop fruit, and maintain stability through mid to late-season production.
Over time, plants tend to transition more smoothly into flowering, with improved resilience, more consistent development, and reduced susceptibility to stress-related disruptions.

Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
FUNCTION & ROLE
Fermented Pumpkin Extract functions as a biologically active plant extract that supports reproductive development, fruit set, and mid- to late-stage plant performance.
It contains soluble nutrients and plant-derived compounds associated with mature fruit tissue, influencing how plants allocate resources, develop reproductive structures, and maintain output under sustained demand.Rather than initiating flowering, pumpkin FPE supports how flowering and fruiting are carried forward — helping stabilize development, improve fruit consistency, and reduce stress during periods of high metabolic load.Within the soil environment, pumpkin inputs contribute to biological activity by providing accessible compounds that support nutrient cycling during peak demand phases.
In foliar applications, it interacts more directly with plant processes related to fruit development, maturation, and overall reproductive stability.Because it is fermented rather than processed through heat or synthetic methods, these compounds remain in a form that integrates easily into living systems.
Within the Silvo system, pumpkin ferment acts as a reproductive support input — helping maintain consistency and performance through flowering and fruiting alongside biological and mineral programs.
IN PRACTICE,
Pumpkin FPE is used to:
• Support fruit set, development, and maturation
• Improve consistency across flowering and fruiting stages
• Help regulate energy allocation during high-demand phases
• Reduce stress during sustained reproductive growth
• Support more even development across the crop
With consistent use, plants tend to maintain stronger reproductive performance with improved consistency and fewer disruptions during mid to late-season production.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.

FUNCTION & ROLE
Chamomile Ferment (Chamomile FPE) functions as a biologically active flowering input associated with stress regulation, reproductive stability, and late-stage plant performance. Produced from fermented chamomile flowers, it contains plant-derived compounds including flavonoids, terpenoids, and aromatic secondary metabolites naturally associated with plant signaling and environmental response. Within biologically managed systems, these compounds are used during flowering to help moderate periods of high metabolic demand — particularly where plants are balancing rapid reproductive development alongside environmental stress, heavy fruit load, or aggressive flowering expression.

Within biologically managed systems, these compounds are used during flowering to help moderate periods of high metabolic demand — particularly where plants are balancing rapid reproductive development alongside environmental stress, heavy fruit load, or aggressive flowering expression.
In soil systems, chamomile inputs contribute biologically active compounds that interact with microbial activity and nutrient cycling during reproductive phases. In foliar applications, they are used more directly alongside flowering and fruiting programs where crop consistency, plant balance, and late-stage stability become increasingly important.
IN PRACTICE,
Chamomile FPE is used to:
• Support smooth transition from vegetative growth into flowering
• Improve plant resilience during environmental or metabolic stress
• Help regulate microbial balance in the root zone
• Reduce volatility in plant response during changing conditions
• Support more even development through reproductive stages
Over time, chamomile inputs are often associated with more stable flowering conditions, improved crop consistency, and smoother transitions through periods of environmental and metabolic stress.

Rule of thumb:
If it's designed to kill microbes, apply separately.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
FUNCTION & ROLE
Nettle ferment functions as a biologically active plant extract that supports nitrogen-linked growth and overall system activity during vegetative phases.
It contains soluble nutrients, trace minerals, and plant compounds that interact with both soil biology and plant metabolism, influencing how nutrients are cycled and utilized during periods of active growth.Rather than supplying nitrogen in a conventional sense, nettle FPE supports the processes that govern nitrogen availability and uptake — helping stabilize growth, reduce fluctuations in plant response, and improve the efficiency of existing fertility programs.Within the soil environment, nettle inputs can stimulate microbial activity by providing accessible compounds that support nutrient cycling and organic matter breakdown.
In foliar applications, it interacts more directly with plant processes related to growth, vigor, and metabolic activity.Because it is fermented rather than synthetically derived, these compounds remain in a form that integrates smoothly into living systems without disrupting biological balance.
Within the Silvo system, Nettle Ferment acts as a vegetative support input — helping maintain steady growth and biological activity alongside fertility and mineral programs.
IN PRACTICE,
NETTLE FPE is used to:
• Support consistent vegetative growth and plant vigor
• Improve nitrogen cycling and nutrient availability
• Enhance plant color and overall metabolic activity
• Support microbial activity and organic matter breakdown
• Assist recovery between growth phases and input cycles
Over time, systems complemented with Nettle Ferment tend to maintain more stable growth patterns, with fewer fluctuations between feeding cycles and improved overall plant performance.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.

WILLOW FERMENT
For rooting, recovery, and early plant establishment.
Willow FPE is a plant extract made from young willow growth harvested at peak hormonal activity and fermented to preserve naturally occurring compounds associated with plant signaling and early-stage development.
It is used in biological growing systems to support root initiation, transplant establishment, and recovery from stress, helping plants respond more effectively during vulnerable stages of growth.
Rather than acting as a nutrient input, it functions as a signaling support — influencing how plants initiate growth and respond to disruption within the system.
Over time, using fermented willow helps plants to establish more quickly, recover more evenly from stress, and transition through early growth stages with greater consistency.

It contains naturally occurring compounds associated with root initiation and plant signaling, which influence how plants respond to disturbance, initiate new growth, and stabilize during periods of transition.Rather than directly driving growth, these compounds help regulate how growth begins — supporting root formation, improving transplant success, and helping plants re-establish balance after stress events such as pruning, environmental swings, or mechanical damage.Within the soil environment, willow inputs can support biological processes by contributing simple compounds that integrate into microbial activity, particularly during early-stage establishment.
In direct plant applications, it interacts more closely with plant signaling pathways, supporting root initiation and early developmental processes.Because it is fermented rather than isolated or synthesized, these compounds remain in a form that integrates smoothly into living systems without disrupting biological balance.
Within the Silvo system, Willow Ferment acts as an establishment input — supporting root development, transplant success, and recovery alongside biological and mineral programs.
IN PRACTICE,
WILLOW FPE is used to:
• Support root initiation and early root development
• Improve transplant success and reduce transplant shock
• Assist recovery after pruning, stress, or environmental swings
• Encourage more even early-stage growth
• Support propagation (cuttings, clones, seedling establishment)
Over time, using Willow Ferment helps plants to establish more reliably, with faster recovery and more consistent early growth across varying conditions.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.

CALCIUM FERMENT
For rooting, recovery, and early plant establishment.
Silvo's water soluble Calcium Ferment (WCA) is a mineral input produced by using a mild organic acid to extract calcium from clean egg shell, converting insoluble calcium into a form plants can readily uptake.Our egg shells are sustainably sourced through our own waste diversion program - collecting cracked egg shells from bakeries who support local free range farms.WCA is used in biological growing systems to supply calcium in a way that integrates with living soil processes, supporting structural development and helping regulate how plants respond to environmental and metabolic stress.Rather than acting as a complete nutrient program on its own, WCA works within a system — reinforcing plant structure and improving the consistency of growth as conditions shift.
Over time, plants tend to develop stronger cell walls, improved resilience to physical and environmental stress, and more stable growth patterns — particularly during periods of rapid expansion or transition.

AVOID APPLYING WITH:
• Strongly acidic inputs (low pH ferments in high concentration)
• Phosphorus-heavy inputs in the same solution (risk of precipitation)
• Sulfates in concentrated mixes
• Copper (all forms)
• Sulfur (all forms)
• Hydrogen peroxide or oxidizers
• Chlorinated water
Allow 5–7 days between applications when using these materials.
Rule of thumb:
If combining minerals that can react or bind, apply separately.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
FUNCTION & ROLE
WCA functions as a calcium-focused mineral input that supports plant structure, metabolic stability, and nutrient balance within biological systems.
Calcium plays a central role in cell wall formation, membrane integrity, and the regulation of nutrient movement within the plant. When supplied in a soluble form, it can be more readily absorbed and integrated into active growth processes.Rather than driving growth directly, WCA supports how growth is expressed — helping plants maintain structural integrity during periods of rapid expansion, reducing susceptibility to stress, and improving the consistency of development across changing conditions.Within the soil environment, WCA interacts with biological processes by contributing to mineral balance and supporting conditions that favor stable nutrient cycling.
In foliar applications, it can be absorbed directly by plant tissues, reinforcing cell structure and supporting processes related to stress tolerance and development.Because it is produced through fermentation and acid extraction rather than industrial processing, WCA remains compatible with biological systems and integrates cleanly into regenerative programs.
Within the Silvo system, Activated Calcium Ferment acts as a structural input — reinforcing plant integrity and helping stabilize growth alongside biological and mineral programs.
IN PRACTICE,
Calcium Ferment is used to:
• Support strong cell wall development and plant structure
• Improve resistance to physical stress (wind, handling, rapid growth)
• Reduce susceptibility to issues linked to calcium imbalance (tip burn, blossom end rot)
• Stabilize nutrient movement and reduce erratic growth patterns
• Support transition into flowering and reproductive development
Over time, plants tend to hold structure more effectively, with fewer stress-related issues and more consistent development under variable conditions.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.

KELP FERMENT
For rooting, recovery, and early plant establishment.
Kelp Ferment (Atlantic Kelp FPE) is a plant extract made from locally harvested Atlantic seaweed, fermented to preserve soluble minerals and plant-derived compounds.It is used in biological growing systems — not because it acts as a primary nutrient input, but because it influences how plants interact with available nutrients and respond to changing conditions over time.It fits into most programs and is often used to support active growth, improve stress tolerance, and maintain more consistent plant performance as conditions shift.
Over time, plants tend to respond more evenly — with steadier growth, improved resilience, and more consistent development.

Allow 5–7 days between applications when using these materials.
Rule of thumb:
If it's designed to kill microbes, apply separately.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
FUNCTION & ROLE
Kelp ferment functions as a mineral-linked input that influences both plant response and biological activity.It contains a range of trace minerals, organic compounds, and natural plant regulators that interact with both microbes and plants.Rather than acting as a direct nutrient source, these compounds influence how plants regulate growth, respond to stress, and make use of available nutrients within the system.Within the soil environment, kelp inputs can stimulate microbial activity by providing accessible compounds that support biological processes and nutrient cycling.In foliar applications, kelp ferment interacts more directly with the plant, influencing processes related to growth regulation, stress response, and overall development.Because it is fermented rather than extracted through heat or chemical processes, these compounds remain in a more biologically active form, allowing them to integrate smoothly into living systems.
Within the Silvo system, kelp ferment acts as a support input — helping align plant response with the conditions created by biological and mineral programs.
IN PRACTICE,
Kelp Ferment is used to:
• Compete with and crowd out unwanted organisms
• Reduce the swings that lead to disease pressure
• Support more stable breakdown of organic matter
• Improve the consistency of biological and mineral inputs
Over time, systems tend to run more evenly, with improved nutrient access and fewer disruptions between inputs.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.

LEAF MOLD EXTRACT
For rooting, recovery, and early plant establishment.
Leaf Mold Extract (LME) is a microbial input made from forest leaf litter, extracted to capture fungal biology and broader microbial diversity.It is used in biological growing systems — not because it targets a specific outcome, but because it introduces organisms and relationships that are often missing in managed soils.It fits into most programs and is often used to increase biological diversity, support fungal presence, and bring systems closer to a more complete state.
Over time, systems tend to become more stable — with improved structure, more even breakdown of organic matter, and more consistent plant response.

COMPATABILITY & CAUTIONS
Leaf Mold Extract integrates well into both biological and conventional programs.It is often used alongside compost teas, organic inputs, and mineral programs to increase biological diversity and support system function, but should be kept separate from materials intended to kill or disrupt microbial life.
• Liquid fertility programs (organic or conventional, low to moderate strength)
• Compost teas and microbial inoculants
• Fish emulsions and hydrolysates
• Seaweed / kelp extracts
• Humic and fulvic acid products
• Most foliar nutrition programs (when not highly concentrated)

• Chlorinated water
Allow 5–7 days between applications when using these materials.
Rule of thumb:
If it's designed to kill microbes, apply separately.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
FUNCTION & ROLE
Leaf mold extract functions as a source of microbial diversity, with a strong emphasis on fungal biology.Its primary role is to introduce organisms involved in decomposition, aggregation, and longer-term nutrient cycling — particularly those that are less represented in disturbed or simplified soils.Fungal organisms play a central role in breaking down complex organic material, forming soil structure, and influencing how water and nutrients are retained within the system.By introducing these organisms, LME helps shift the balance of the system — moving it away from short-term, bacterial-dominant cycling and toward more stable, fungal-associated processes.This can influence how organic matter is processed, how nutrients are held and released, and how resilient the system becomes over time.Because it is extracted from living leaf mold and remains biologically active, LME carries a wide range of organisms that contribute to ongoing system function rather than acting as a single-purpose input.
Within the Silvo system, LME acts as a diversity input — helping build out the biological network so that other inputs have a more complete system to operate within.
IN PRACTICE,
Leaf Mold Extract is used to:
• Increase microbial diversity within soil systems
• Introduce and support fungal biology
• Improve soil structure and aggregation over time
• Support more stable breakdown of organic matter
• Improve consistency in plant response and system behavior
Over time, systems tend to run more evenly, with improved nutrient access and fewer disruptions between inputs.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.

Rule of thumb:
If it's designed to kill microbes, apply separately.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
FUNCTION & ROLE
Live culture apple vinegar functions as a mild organic acid within the biological system.Its primary role is to influence how nutrients interact in the soil solution — helping shift certain minerals into more available forms while maintaining conditions that allow biological processes to continue moving.Unlike stronger acids, LCAV does not force immediate change. It works gradually, adjusting local conditions in a way that supports continued cycling and availability rather than disrupting the system.Within the soil environment, this can influence how tightly nutrients are held, how they move, and how they are accessed by both microbes and plants.Because it is unfiltered and biologically active, LCAV also carries organic compounds and living cultures that contribute to ongoing system activity rather than acting as a one-time input.
Within the Silvo system, Live Vinegar acts as a connective input — helping bridge biological and mineral processes so that other inputs function more consistently.
IN PRACTICE,
Live Culture Apple Vinegar is used to:
• Improve nutrient availability and mineral interaction
• Support smoother transitions between inputs
• Maintain stable conditions in active systems
• Improve consistency across biological and mineral programs
Over time, systems tend to run more evenly, with improved nutrient access and fewer disruptions between inputs.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.

Rule of thumb:

Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
FUNCTION & ROLE
Lactic acid bacteria is one of the most useful microbial inputs for stabilizing biological systems.LAB are fast colonizers. They quickly occupy available space on plant and soil surfaces, making it harder for opportunistic organisms to establish.As they grow, they produce organic acids that shift local conditions — slightly lowering pH and influencing which microbial groups are able to function in that environment.This creates a form of biological selection pressure, favoring organisms adapted to more stable conditions while suppressing those that rely on imbalance.Within the soil system, LAB function primarily in early-stage decomposition, working along bacterial-dominant pathways that influence how organic material begins breaking down and cycling.The result is not a direct input of nutrients, but a shift in how nutrients are processed and made available over time.
Within the Silvo system, Lactic acid bacteria acts as a baseline input — helping regulate microbial conditions so that other inputs can function more consistently.
IN PRACTICE,
Lactic Acid Bacteria is used to:
• Compete with and crowd out unwanted organisms
• Reduce the swings that lead to disease pressure
• Support more stable breakdown of organic matter
• Improve the consistency of biological and mineral inputs
Over time, systems tend to run more evenly — with fewer disruptions, more consistent breakdown, and more predictable performance.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
ADDITIONAL USES
LABS can be used beyond plant systems in environments where organic matter, moisture, and biological activity tend to become unstable.In these conditions, it is applied at low concentrations to help guide microbial balance, reduce odor, and support more consistent breakdown of organic material.These uses are typically supplemental and integrated into existing management practices rather than relied on as a standalone solution.
WITHIN WATER SYSTEMS
• Irrigation tanks
• Rainwater storage
• Low-concentration use in reservoirs
In these applications, LABS is typically integrated to help reduce biological stagnation and maintain more stable conditions in stored water.
WITHIN ORGANIC SYSTEMS
LABS can be used in water systems and areas where organic material accumulates, helping maintain biological activity while supporting natural decomposition processes.
Facilities:
• Barns and animal housing
• Dust mitigation
• Post-harvest wash areas
• Equipment cleaning and washdown zones
Waste & Runoff:
• Composting areas
• Livestock zones
• Drainage paths from high-organic systems
• Areas with repeated plant or organic waste buildup
In these applications, LABS helps reduce odor and discourage buildup of problematic microbial populations without relying on harsh sanitizers.
Results may vary depending on system conditions, application timing, and existing inputs.
