Derived from an organic source, RHIZOTONIC is a natural extract that contains a wealth of organic material, vitamins and minerals that all help enhance the development of a plant's root zone.
After applying RHIZOTONIC, the enhanced root system will result in healthier and stronger plants. A more vigorous root system means a much improved nutrient and water uptake for a growing plant. Being able to access the optimal amount of water and nutrient at any given time means a much better establishment of a plant, improving both a plant´s internal health and external quality.
The naturally occurring elements in RHIZOTONIC can encourage a plant to create key proteins and carbohydrates used to combat symptoms of heat and drought stresses. This makes it an ideal solution to use when suffering unwanted water and environmental stresses, such as when re-potting or when suffering times of drought.
The unique formulation of CANNA RHIZOTONIC results in a powerful and concentrated seaweed extract that has an exceptional shelf life in the bottle (two years) and is highly stable when diluted into your nutrient solution.
RHIZOTONIC adds minimal EC (Electro-conductivity) when diluted into a solution. This can be particularly beneficial during germination, helping to soften a hard case of a seed, making it easier for the emerging tap root to sprout and grow.
RHIZOTONIC is derived from the North Atlantic seaweed species Ascophyllum nodosum. Extracts of this species of seaweed, being naturally rich in a wide-variety of organic compounds, have been shown to benefit plants in a variety of ways; other than just encouraging a productive root-zone of course.
Symbiotic relationships between micro-life and plants can provide a wealth of benefits. A. nodosum extracts can increase populations of such bio-life in the substrate leading to a variety of beneficial microbial associations.
Extracts of such marine flora have been shown to improve the chlorophyll, flavonoid and phenol content of some crops. This can lead to much richer flavour/smell profiles of the resultant harvest.
RHIZOTONIC can be used as a foliar spray and is suitable for use on any substrate and irrigation systems. In re-circulating and/or drip irrigation hydroponic systems it is recommended to renew the nutrient solution every 5-7 days.
