RootGrow Mycorrhizal Fungi (Friendly Fungi)
Key Benefits of Planting with RootGrow

RootGrow enhances a plant root system so a newly planted plant:

• Finds more food, finds more water.
• Needs less fertiliser.
• Establishes quicker and reduces failure rates.
• Has increased tolerance to drought and adverse soil conditions.
• These fungi are completely natural and organic and native to UK soils and this is the first such product to be recommended by the RHS.

How do they work

Mycorrhizal fungi are widespread throughout nature and are fundamental to plant growth and development. Over 90% of plants associate with 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 1kg 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 is shown by the Larch seedlings in the picture, the volume of soil filled by larger red/brown Larch roots is greatly increased by the secondary white network of the fungi. 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 establishment. While a plant will gradually develop its own Mycorrhizal root system, planting them with RootGrow will speed this process up. It can take 3 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 plants roots may be dipped before planting. (Gel packs can still be used dry if preferred).
