RootFeed
- Plant Performance
RootFeed directly feeds the roots of the plant and supplies essential nutrients and Co-Factors that enable stronger root growth and maintain plant health. This increases the plant’s tolerance to stress and creates controlled, uniform growth.
The nutrients provided by RootFeed are substitutes for alternative nitrogen, magnesium and calcium sources and the grower’s normal program can be adjusted accordingly. Proper functioning of the plant roots improves resistance to insects and diseases that normally damage a plant’s root growth and yield potential.
RootFeed is applied with irrigation as a fertigation treatment. RootFeed must be applied on a regular basis to feed continuous root growth and root cap replacement. Early growth is important to set up plants for optimum potential.
Post-harvest applications of RootFeed are also an important source of root growth and nutrition to support early spring growth the following season.

Features & Benefits
Continuous root growth and replacement of root caps
Throughout the growing season and post-harvest period.
Helps plants develop a stronger root system
Leading to a greater tolerance to stress as well as improved plant balance and health.
Supplies essential nutrients and co-factors directly to the roots
To produce high quality marketable yields.
Supplies a highly soluble form of calcium
Which is the signal for over 600 biological processes including photosynthesis and plant sugar transport.
The nutrients provided by RootFeed
Can be substituted for alternative nitrogen and calcium sources and the grower’s normal program can be adjusted accordingly.
Controlled uniform vegetative growth for improved plant balance and health
Additional Resources
RootFeed
Plants treated with RootFeed can produce healthier and more robust root systems than plants left untreated.

Calcium For Healthy Plants & Quality Fruit
Calcium is an essential element for the growth of the roots and development of the fruit. It is the building block for cell walls in new tissue that makes strong cells which will assist in less misshapen fruit, higher yields and better shelf life.
