Natural Metabolic Root Accelerator
Root Boost is a plant growth promoter formulated with root-enhancing compounds to supply adequate macro- and micronutrients to soils. It enhances root growth, plant growth, fruit size and crop yields due to the presence of natural root growth promoting compounds.
Efficacy
Effective at increasing root mass and root growth.
Promoting crop resistance to stresses through rhizosphere stimulation.
Effective at enhancing root functions.
Application
Use Root Boost throughout the entire vegetative cycle and early stages of the flowering cycle on flowering/fruiting plants by adding 3.8 - 4.7 ml (3/4 – 1 tsp) of product with one gallon (1 gal) of water to properly dilute, unless otherwise specified in the table below. This product can also be used in other quantities during the plant flowering period, respecting the dilution rate of 1:1,000 to 1:800; product to water. After dilution, irrigate the soil around the base of the plant or apply as a foliar spray 2 - 3 times during vegetative growth into early fruiting. Do not apply prior to excessive rains, since this may reduce product effectiveness.
Active Ingredients
Root Boost contains calcium nitrate, which supplies two critical nutrients to your crops: nitrogen and calcium. It also contains Sargassum (soluble seaweed) and microelements beneficial to root health.
