Rootella F 250g

Product Code: C2730

Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations that form between the roots of most plant species and fungi. The term Mycorrhiza literally means “fungus root” . It is estimated that 95% of all plant species belong to the genera that form Mycorrhizae. Crops respond positively to colonisation by Mycorrhizal fungi, and may also suffer in their absence; providing natural protection and assisting plant establishment. Several kilometres of filaments are estimated to be present in less than a thimbleful of healthy soil associated with growing plants. Rootella® contains endo mycorrhizae fungi that can enter the root system to help increase the flow of nutrients from the soil, whilst also providing protection from the harshness of soil micro fauna and flora.

ADVANTAGES + BENEFITS

Mycorrhizal root systems increase the absorbing area of roots 10 to 1000 times, greatly improving the ability of the plants to utilise the soil resources. The fungi in Rootella® are able to absorb and transfer fifteen (15) major macro and micro nutrients required for plant growth. Mycorrhizal fungi release powerful chemicals into the soil that dissolve hard to capture nutrients and in particular Phosphorous. The Mycorrhizal fungi in Rootella improves soil structure through their intricate web of hyphae. The organisms produce Humic compounds and Glomalin, which is a soil glue, binding soil aggregates and improving soil porosity. The Glomalin produced is thought by researchers to be the earth’s carbon storehouse intricately involved in carbon sequestration. Plants and trees establish much faster and are less likely to suffer water stress. Mycorrhizae act as a physical barrier to detrimental organisms, increasing strike rate and reducing plant loss.
