Plant Starter

Plant Starter

BENEFITS:

  • Promotes early root development
  • Ideal for turning cutting into plant quickly
  • Provides essential nutrition for young plants 

 Introduction:

 

Plant Starter improves yields, nutrient accumulation and your plant’s reproductive success by extending the surface area of your plant’s root system. The naturally occurring fungi form symbiotic associations with many plant species, therefore increasing the ability of roots to explore a soil volume for immobile nutrients such as phosphorus. Due to the immobility of such elements, depletion zones occur in and around root zones where all the available nutrient has already been quickly utilised.

Therefore, for a plant to find it possible to obtain more phosphorus, the plant’s root zone must bypass these depletion zones by further root activity elsewhere in the medium. The outcome of this quest for phosphorus (and other relatively immobile medium resources, such as copper, zinc and iron) is determined by the surface area of a plant’s root system. Plant Starter is primarily responsible for forming an extension of the surface area of your root by binding to your root filaments and extending outwards.

This effectively causes a metabolic response from your plant’s root zone and rapidly promotes the production of fine root filaments while increasing the surface area of your plant’s rhizosphere.

A by-product of this reaction is caused by the secretions of the fungi which help to contribute to improved soil structure by way of mechanical aggregation. This results in a loosely bound crumb-like soil structure optimising the growth of your plants.
