It is a natural wetting agent (surfactant) comonly used in all applications of horticultural. Yucca schidigera contains saponins, a soapy, steroidal-like substance that acts as a natural spreader/sticker. Saponins improve the soil's absorption and dispersal of both nutrients and water by reducing surface tension. This allows plant roots to absorb more of what is available to them as the water and nutrients are distributed more evenly.Yucca extracts reduce unwanted salt buildup by reducing dry pocket formation within the soil and washing concentrated salts past the root zone (they have also been known to help keep drip emitters clean). In the case of excessive mineral buildup, yucca extracts will reduce the amount of water necessary to flush the soil. Saponins and complex carbohydrates present in yucca extracts provide slow-release food sources for many soil-dwelling microorganisms. As a result, many Compost Tea recipes use yucca extracts. Yucca extracts commonly contain micronutrients such as iron, zinc, manganese and copper as well. Yucca contains antioxidants such as salicylic acid and vitamin C that protect cells from free radical damage. Yucca extracts also stimulate a plants immune systems to induce production of their own protective hormones, dramatically boosting insect and disease resistance. It only takes a little yucca extract to be effective. As little as 1/16th teaspoon will treat over 5 gallons of water. Yucca helps water and nutrients penetrate deeper into the root zone, and yucca’s natural cleaning action helps keep drip emitter lines from clogging. Surfactants like yucca extracts are great to add to foliar sprays. Water is a polar molecule; it holds a small positive charge on one side of the water molecule and a negative charge on the other. That’s why water beads up on a waxy surface. But the natural saponins in yucca extracts depolarize the water molecule, allowing foliar sprays to spread out more evenly on the waxy leaf surface. The thin film that is created covers a greater surface area on the leaf for better and more even absorption by the plant cells. Yucca in and of itself is also good for plants, helping with water and nutrient absorption and acting as a plant protection agent. For example, yucca extracts are taking the place of copper sulfate in much of Europe to help prevent and treat fungal diseases such as apple scab. Yucca offers a natural alternative to petroleum-based surfactants and chemical sprays, and it’s completely safe for the environment.Yucca is great for flushing excess salts from plant roots. Nutrient salts tend to build up in the growing medium due to repeated wetting and drying of the fertilizer mixture. Over time, the salt build up makes it harder and harder for the plant to take up water, and the plant begins to suffer from salt stress. Yucca makes water “wetter”. Its surfactant action allows the water to penetrate deeper into the soil and flush away more of the accumulated salts from the root zone. As a result, plants are able to use water more efficiently and recover more quickly from the symptoms of drought stress. Organic yucca extracts are also a valuable addition to compost teas and all other microbial inoculants. Since yucca contains complex sugars, it is a stable carbon source for plant-growth-promoting microorganisms in the root zone. Microorganisms convey many benefits to plants, including the mineralization of organic matter, improved root growth and induced resistance to pests and disease. So over time and with continuous use, yucca will help stabilize soil pH, decrease soil compaction, and increase the availability of essential trace elements to the roots.Yucca extracts are sometimes added to concentrated nutrient formulas, especially when mixing mineral salts with organics. Yucca helps keep minerals and organics in suspension with each other in concentrated form. Sometimes the higher molecular weight organic molecules tend to settle out of solution. But if the solution contains yucca, a quick shake will disperse everything back into suspension for the perfect blend. Yucca extracts foam when shaken or vigorously stirred, though, so yucca is usually added to the mixing tank last. Saponins are glycosylated triterpenoid, steroid, or steroidal alkaloid molecules. This group of secondary plant metabolites may have general significance as antimicrobial phyto-protectantsare and are steroidal in nature.NATURAL SURFACTANTSaponins are by definition surface active. The word saponin comes from the Latin sapo, meaning soap.Research showing the presence of steroid saponins in the plant and their significance to plant growth was reported over fifty years ago. Key Benefits of Saponin • Wetting agent to aid in root penetration for maximum nutrient uptake. • Adjuvant for foliar sprays boosts potency of other products such as pesticides spreads and adheres better all plant surfaces (use less pesticide ect.)• Yucca extract is bio-enhancer-added to products to make them work more effectively.• Effective surfactant (reduces surface tension) and increased penetration.• Works well to manage excess salts (fertilizer build-up) in soil or medium.• Yucca extract acts as a chemical barrier to fight a fungal attack.• Promotes beneficial microbial activity in the soil.• Greatly improve H2O penetration into soil or medium.• A very effective way minimize run off-off. (plant leaves)• Flushing plants with yucca extract help eliminate salt build up. • Triggers plants defensive response to anaerobic fungi.•Very effective for the emulsification of fats and oils.•Yucca has also been proven to be a very strong natural dispersing agent.•Yucca is perfect for replacing synthetic harsh surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and others.
