About The Founder
Apical’s Leaf Extract Analysis is the most advanced form of plant sap analysis on the market today. This effective way to monitor plant nutritional stress determines exactly what nutrients are in excess, balanced or lacking so they can be managed with precision and ease.
Our Founder and President, David Knaus grew up steeped in the organic method during the 1980s and has been an active participant in the transitioning of thousands of acres into organic production in the last 20 years.
Tens of thousands of lab samples have proven that proper leaf, soil, and water analysis encourages the grower to implement soil and plant health-improving solutions. By running a leaf or soil analysis and requesting a recommendation with Apical, growers automatically gain access to eco-friendly advice and solutions.
How does leaf extract analysis differ from leaf tissue analysis?
Building Communities
The grower-consumer relationship and the re-localization of food systems offer a major opportunity to revitalize rural communities and build rural economics. It is the linkage between urban and rural relationships that Apical believes can restore healthy and vitality to people globally.
The Apical laboratory and database have proven capable of delivering methods that can improve crop characteristics, increasing the health of consumers globally.
