One-to-One Natural Substitutions
Many synthetic inputs can be replaced directly by natural alternatives:
| Synthetic Input | Natural Alternative |
|---|---|
| Amino acids | Plant/animal hydrolysates |
| Antimicrobials | Neem, essential oils |
| Buffers | Citric acid, lime |
| Carbohydrates | Cane or beet sugar |
| Gelling agents | Agar |
| Plant defense | Seaweed extract, chitosan |
| Growth regulators | Natural hormones, biostimulants |
| Vitamins | Fermentation-derived mixes |
| Nutrients | Organic fertilizers & amendments |
| Enzymes | Naturally fermented enzymes |
Building a More Sustainable Practice
By focusing on natural inputs, growers can reduce their dependence on industrial synthetic chemistry while still accessing the tools needed to culture plants, regenerate ecosystems, and make propagation accessible to small growers everywhere.
