Stem Feed, also known as tree injection or stem injection is a specially designed device for all forms of palm trees to deliver precise, efficient and unobtrusive solution for the control of a pest into the tree xylem vascular tissue. This makes it easy for everyone to take care and protect the tree from pests or correct the nutrients input to compensate for nutrient deficiencies. By understanding the palm tree and its deficiency and with proper consultation, the needed components are injected at precisely the right rate to control the pest and at a precise pressure that is safe to the tree
There is no exposure to the technician or environment during application thus making it by far the most effective way for treating your palm trees in rural and urban areas, without polluting the nature.
Treatment begins to take effect after a period of 15 to 30 days, depending on climatic conditions, soil moisture and tree height.
Stem Feed® is specifically designed to deliver precisely the right dose of supplements into the trunk without polluting the environment. Since the nutrients are directly fed, it then moves rapidly and evenly from the injection points up through the stipe/trunk to the crown, targeting pest activity control and nutritional deficiency throughout the palm. This method relies largely on utilizing the tree's vascular system to transport and distribute the active ingredients into the wood, canopy and roots where protection or nutrition is needed. StemFeed® is currently the most popular method for Control of harmful insects, pathogens and nematodes in landscape tree care.
Anatomically, palm stems are typical of monocots, with xylem and phloem confined to the central cylinder of the stem. Xylem (water-conducting tissue), vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Along with phloem (carbohydrate-conducting tissue that channels sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant).
Xylem, phloem cells remain alive through the life of the palm.
But in case of non-palm trees, with dicot and coniferous tree stems, the xylem vessel cells die and lose their contents before becoming functional as water-conducting tissue. The StemFeed® kit will stay inside the tree without damaging the palm tree and the site will actively work in introducing supplements to the palm tree growth and development. This anatomic ability makes the palm trees the best choice for StemFeed® technique.
StemFeed® equips each palm tree owner/caretaker to take full control of the palm tree care and follow regular and effective treatment and feeding practices. Each of these treatments is fed directly into the tree, allowing the user to use a very small amount of supplements that can produce higher-quality results. This reduces the likelihood of waste and makes it an inexpensive and effective technique.
Admiration through StemFeed® prevents reducing the cost of fertigation and protects the health of the tree. The regular application creates effective and strong care for tree health and growth management thus increasing the yield.
