Product Detail
Product Description
SOIL MOIST ROOT DIP Endo/Ecto
Soil Moist Root Dip is formulated to inoculate bare-root stock prior to planting or shipping. Inoculation will
promote new root development on newly planted trees and shrubs. Soil Moist Root Dip contains a diverse blend of seven species of healthy viable ectomycorrhizal propagules and seven species of healthy viable endomycorrhizal propagules that are adapted to a wide range of plants and habitat conditions. The formulation will provide the inoculated area to colonize on the newly planted stock in a wide variety of growing conditions. Soil Moist Root Dip - Ecto is for ectomycorrhizal host plants only and contains the same ingredients as Soil Moist Root Dip but without
the endomycorrhizal fungi.
The mycorrhizal fungi colonize plant roots and extend far into the soil resource. The fungi improves the ability of the plants to utilize the soil resources. The fungi increases water and nutrient uptake by providing a larger root mass.
The improvement in the plant / soil ecosystem increases plant establishment.
Each pound of Soil Moist Root Dip contains over 5 billion colony forming units (CFU) of bacteria in the
biostimulant formulation. There are over fifty (50) strains of beneficial bacteria and soil microbes as well as natural plant extracts that promote root growth and formulation. Five strains of Trichoderma are included in the formulation to produce natural growth hormones and enhance disease suppression.
Soil Moist FinesTM (50-500 microns) water storing polymers are included in the formulation to reduce transplant
stress and water maintenance while increasing the establishment of the newly planted stock. The small particle size of the Fines suspends the fungi and biostimulants in the slurry mix and increases the cohesion of them to the plant roots for colonization.
