Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi

Description

Over 90% of all plants depend on a naturally occurring beneficial group of fungi called mycorrhizal fungi to transport nutrients and water to their roots. In normal conditions it may take up to 5 years for these fungi to naturally colonize freshly stablished plants. However, when Rootgrow Professional is applied at the time of planting this effect will be achieved in 2-4 weeks.

How do plants benefit?

1) One treatment lasts a lifetime. (As the plant grows, the fungal partner multiplies).
2) Better drought tolerance. (Due to the vast fungal root making best use of all available moisture)
3) Earlier and better growth. (In 2-4 weeks after planting the mycorrhizal fungi can increase the active root area of plants by up to 700 times).
4) Better uptake of fertilizers when applied after planting. (The network of mycorrhizal fungi act like a net, catching nutrients and reducing leaching).
5) Increased uptake of obscure trace elements from the soil leading to increased plant health. (The ultrafine fungal mycelium can unlock nutrients from the soil)
6) Reduced mortality especially bare rooted, rootballed and specimen plants.
7) Helps to control soil pathogens. It has been found that in some cases the friendly fungi grow faster and naturally colonise weak points in the roots that pathogens could otherwise infect.

How to Apply Rootgrow:
