How does Maui LCF work? What are the capabilities of Maui LCF?
Maui LCF is based on a fungal pathogen /host relationship. The edible mushroom used to generate Maui LCF normally lives in a forest tree for hundreds of years. This mushroom digests the heart wood of the tree while stimulating larger tree growth, more roots, more shoots, more foliage, more flowers and more fruit. The mushroom also produces fungal metabolites that kill nematodes, mites, bacteria and other fungi, protecting the host tree. Vegetables treated with LCF grow faster and larger with higher vitamin content.
What are the ingredients in Maui LCF?
We patented a method to grow this edible mushroom on a mixture of pineapple puree, papaya puree and sugarcane molasses. The mushroom digests the fruit juices, which then produces the metabolites that will stimulate plant growth and also produce the protective metabolites. After a few years of digestion, the digested juices are cooked to kill the mushroom and denature the wood digesting enzymes. What are left in the liquid are the fungal plant growth stimulants and protective metabolites. Solids are removed by filtering. Water is removed and a 32 to 1 concentrate is made for use by gardeners and farmers. One ounce is enough to treat one acre of vegetables.
