Using Aspirin to Bolster a Tomato's Defense Response
I started a series of garden videos called: 60 Seconds or Sow. In about a minute or so I hopefully provide you with information to help you with gardening. Just the quick facts. You can check out my YouTube channel for more 60 Second or Sow garden videos.
Aspirin can be used to trigger a response in a tomato plant to boost its defenses. The salicylic acid in aspirin triggers a response - tricking your tomato into thinking it is being attacked by disease, pests or damage. By stimulating this defense mode, your tomato will be stronger and it will be able to better handle diseases. Search salicylic acid and tomatoes. There are a lot of studies on it.
