I have used a mixture of Capsicum, onion and garlic with water and I sprayed it over two lemon trees, rubus and another plant from the Crassulaceae family and all of them produced flowers and fruits in a period of two weeks, thus I am interested in continuing with these studies, but I would like to know if someone is working on this issue from this community, and perhaps we can share information.
Allium onion and garlic and hot peppers will Capsicum are effective botanical insecticides. One of their advantages is that unlike agrichemical sytnthetic insecticides they are kind on beneficial insects. These actions are very favorable of increase plant responses and can be used in organic pest control strategies. The certified organic production can give better demand and price premiums. The lethality of garlic for insects is well understood but the toxicity does not seem to extend to most humans as cultures will garlic use tend to have improved health. Peppers are also extremely healthful and stimulate the organism to secrete digestive and defensive reactions. In vitro allicin has been shown to inhibit tumor cell growth.

Secondary metabolite compounds including terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids and phenolic compounds have a potential as stimulants or inhibitors of plant growth. Aquous extract of onion and garlic has been largely used as biostimulant as well as in pest management. Kindly visit the link

Thank you very much for sharing your research, I have read it. Very interesting.
Thank you, Paul, Aditya, and Debashish,
Yes, I know that onion, garlic, and hot peppers have been used to control pests, but I did not expect they will also stimulate flowering and fruiting.
Your research is very valuable to me because I am starting with these studies.
Humic acid and solubilized kelp are excellent organic growth regulating substances. Kelp is able to provide plant regulators as well as complete nutrition including primary secondary and trace nutrition. The application is efficacious particularly ajust before flowering and the seed and seedling stages.
Thank you Paul, I knew about humic acid, but the solubilized kelp is something new. I guess there were some tries in Mexico to use the excessive algae arriving at our coasts for fertilization, but no new news has arrived since two years ago. Probably because now the COVID is the top news.
Kelp has all plant hormones and in addition it has components which are soluble and are clearly spectrographically similar if not identifical to humic acid. Humic acid can stimulate broad range of plant defense and detoxification mechanisms. For a plant that has stress or toxicity issues kelp humic and complete nutrients are highly recommended especially at critical plant stages as a foliar treatment.
Thank you Paul. Very Interesting. Have you analyzed fresh water plants? I have some aquariums and I have green hair algae plus elodeas, vallisnerias and demersum gender plants. I am looking for easy and cheap methods, specially for floral and fruit production.
