How does Rootgrow work?

Mycorrhizal Fungi are widespread throughout nature and are fundamental to plant growth and development. Over 90% of plants associate wqith these natural organisms as a mechanism for sustained water and nutrient supply.

These fungi colonise the plant roots, extending the root system into the surrounding soil through an extensive network of threadlike fungal filaments (up to a kilometre in one kilo of soil). This network acts as a secondary root system extracting water and nutrients from a far greater volume of soil than would be possible by the plants own root system alone. This established secondary root network allows links between all of the plants which can then share the increased supply of water and nutrients throughout the plant community.

It is now recognised that the lack of the Mycorrhizal relationship is a major cause of poor plant and tree and establishment. while a plant will gradually develop its own Mycorrhizal root system, planting them with Rootgrow will speed this process up. It can take three years for it to develop naturally, while using Rootgrow can get the Mycorrhizal root system established in one month.

Application

Sprinkle Rootgrow evenly into the base of the planting hole, the granules must touch the plant roots. Also available in a gel mix pack which is combined with water so plant roots may be dipped before planting. (Gel packs can still be used dry if preferred).
