Healthy Roots - 2 ounces

$22.95

Healthy Roots by UnbreakableTM delivers 5 beneficial microbes. These microbes are a family of commercial grade probiotics for home lawns and gardens. They increase the CFU counts of the microbes listed, which produce a broad range of soil enzymes & metabolites. These microbes are known to help mineralize stored nutrients locked in the soil and help with nutrient availability to the plant. Some experts claim microbes like these can reduce fertilizer use. These microbes, when introduced to turfgrass, gardens, and food plots act as beneficial agents, improving various aspects of plant health and soil quality.

Bacillus species (licheniformis, Megaterium, mucilaginosus, simplex):

• Plant Growth Promotion: These bacteria colonize plant roots, producing hormones and enzymes that enhance plant growth and yield.

• Nutrient Availability: They facilitate the uptake of essential nutrients by processes like:

• Nitrogen fixation: Converting atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for plants.

• Phosphate solubilization: Making phosphorus, often locked in the soil, available to plants.

• Iron acquisition: Producing siderophores to chelate and make iron available for uptake.

• Stress Tolerance: These Bacillus species can help turfgrass plants withstand difficult environmental conditions like drought and heat stress.

• Enzyme Production: They are major producers of chitinase, an enzyme with potential fungicidal and insecticidal properties.

• Soil Structure Improvement: The root exudates stimulated by these bacteria, like glomalin, improve soil structure and porosity, leading to better drainage and moisture retention.

Glomus intraradices:

• Mycorrhizal Symbiosis: Glomus intraradices is a type of mycorrhizal fungi that forms a symbiotic relationship with turfgrass roots.

• Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: The fungi extend their hyphae into the soil, significantly increasing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients, particularly phosphorus.

• Increased Root Growth: The symbiotic relationship also stimulates extra root growth in the turfgrass, leading to a more robust and extensive root system.

In summary, these microbes contribute to healthy and thriving turfgrass, gardens, and food plots by enhancing nutrient availability, promoting plant growth, improving soil structure, and increasing the plant's resilience to stress.
