Rootella® X, by Groundwork BioAg, is a mycorrhizal inoculant: a concentrated seed treatment that effectively inoculates plants with vigorous endomycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal inoculation by application of Rootella® products improves crop and soil health, and plant nutrient uptake.
Concentration and Primary Compounds
Rootella X mycorrhizal seed treatment delivers extremely high concentrations of endomycorrhizal fungi:
At least 133,600 viable propagules of Glomus intraradices per gram (3,787,200 per ounce) 33,400 viable propagules of Glomus mosseae per gram (946,800 propagules per ounce)
Application and Crops
Rootella X is intended for application to row crops (e.g. corn, soybean, wheat etc.) tubers, bulbs, vegetables, fruits, sugar cane, beans, lentils, peanuts, rice and more.
Mix with water and add to agitated mixing tank during seed treatment process
Not to be mixed with incompatible substances (see compatibility tool for more information)
