Tree Saver Transplant |Mycorrhizal bio-stimulant|85 g|PHC|

This product is designed to reduce transplant stress while improving soil hydration and fertility. PHC Tree Saver is a biologically active soil conditioner that is applied to the root zone of trees and shrubs at planting time. Five species of mycorrhizal fungi and six species of beneficial bacteria are packed into this formula to improve plant nutrition and soil fertility. The fungi absorb water and minerals for the roots while the bacteria fix nitrogen, solubilise phosphorus, and biodegrade organic matter making trapped minerals accessible to plants. PHC Tree Saver also contains formononetin, a naturally occurring stimulant of VA mycorrhizal fungi, Terra-Sorb® hydrogel that traps water and holds it in the root zone, and humic acids which improve availability of mineral nutrients. Seaweed meal and yucca plant extract are added as organic nutrients to support establishment of microbial populations.

Mycorrhiza fungi play a very important role in natural plant growth. They take care of the living interface between the absorbing root system and the soil biology. An ample number of scientific studies show that the presence of useful mycorrhiza fungi noticeably improves plant health. They can also make do with less fertiliser and support plant resistance. In addition, organic fertilisers are utilised better. Plants with mycorrhizae are more resistant to drought, severe temperature variations, pH changes, toxic metals and soil compacting. Mycorrhizae also ensure better soil structure due to their contribution to forming ‘soil aggregates’.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

• provides mycorrhizal fungi that can improve absorption of water and minerals from the soil,
• stimulates native and inoculated VAM fungal growth and colonization of roots,
• provides mycorrhizal fungi that can help plants mitigate adverse environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, and extremes of soil pH,
• trees and shrubs take better, improving survival and growth.
