BENEFITS:
Introduction:
Smart Garden Plant Starter causes rapid root production to help seedlings and cuttings develop into young plants. It provides the essential nutrition required for a plant during the cutting and young plants stage and is important to ensure the vitality of plants.
Smart Garden Plant Starter stimulates the extension of a plants root system to ensure reproductive success and is essential for a healthy plant.
Technical information:
Plant Starter improves yields, nutrient accumulation and your plants reproductive success by extending the surface area of your plants 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 plants 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 plants root zone and rapidly promotes the production of fine root filaments while increasing the surface area of your plants 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.
Our exceptional formula has also been proven to confer drought resistance by effectively causing roots to extend beyond there conventional limits. Plant Starter also provides protection from parasitic fungi and nematode infection by effectively increasing the amount of beneficial bacteria in your medium and therefore restoring the bio balance to your plants health.
