Messenger
is a gardening breakthrough that turns on your plants immune system! Your plants
will not only be stronger and healthier, but produce more fruit, flowers and
foliage.
The active ingredient in Messenger is from a family of naturally occurring proteins called harpins. In nature, harpin proteins are produced by bacteria that cause plant diseases. Plants have a special ability to “sense” harpin proteins. It’s like an early warning system that alerts the plant when it’s under attack from something that will cause a disease (because when a bacterial pathogen is around, so is a harpin protein). When a plant senses harpin proteins, it activates its own natural responses to help fight off the attack and stay healthy. Just as our bodies respond to an infection, you can think of this as the plants version of an immune response.
Messenger is an environmentally friendly product that has been awarded by the EPA, endorsed by the National Gardening Association, the American Rose Society, the National Chrysanthemum Society, and the National Home Gardening Club.
