Root Boost Organic Turf and Plant Supplement (1Gal)

Root Boost is an organic seaweed extract that is a source of cytokinins and auxins which increase root growth, tiller, rhizome and stolon production resulting in increased plant vigor and optimized stress tolerance. Root Boost enhances plant growth by developing a deeper, denser root system in turf, ornamental plants, trees and flowering plants. By amplifying root mass and disease tolerant leaf tissue, Root Boost strengthens plants and increases tolerance to stress caused by disease, insect infestation, lack of water and other environmental factors.

Root Boost is formulated to contain extremely low levels of gibberelic acid.  At warmer temperatures, gibberellic acid promotes unwanted top growth and excessive seed heads in turf.  Root Boost also provides a unique source of organic content that improves soil microbial activity and nutrient availability.  By increasing root mass, Root Boost is a root hormone biostimulant which will improve the performance of turf, landscape plants, trees, and flowering plants.
