The relationship of valerian to the element of warmth and its supersensible force-correlate, the warmth ether, has found its way into biodynamic practice also outside its function as a manure preparation — for instance in the face of the danger of late frosts in May. Immediately before these occur, a warmth sheath can be laid over fruit blossoms and over vulnerable vegetable seedbeds through fine misting of the valerian extract, diluted at 1 ml to 1 l of water; this prevents frost damage down to two to three degrees below zero. For general strengthening of plants in vegetable growing, it is also recommended at a dilution of 10 to 30 drops of valerian preparation to 3 l of water. In viticulture the valerian preparation has come to enjoy particular esteem.
