Strong and healthy root systems yield heavier and stronger crops and plants every time.
What are Roots?
-
an absorptive network for the transporting of water and nutrients into the plant system
-
mechanical structures to support plants
-
sensor networks that help regulate plant growth
-
chemical factories that can change soil pH, poison competitors and filter toxins
-
they feed soil organisms and contribute to soil organic matter
Because the roots of plants are underground and so unseen, little importance is often placed on good root development, but it must be remembered that the root system of plants is normally the same size or even several times larger that the portion of the plant seen above ground and it is the root system which carries on the essential functions of the plant body.
This means that roots are equal in importance to leaves and so form the life support system for plants.
 How do Rootrainers develop strong roots?
Rootrainers encourage optimum root formation; including strong straight roots which is a fundamental requirement of healthy and successfull growth. The rectangular shape of each plant cell provides a greater surface area, and the grooves allow more roots to develop on the outside of the plug. The hinged opening of the cells allows for inspection of root progress as well as ensuring that when planting out there is no root disturbance.
The secret of Rootrainers success
Better roots mean better plants every time
Air pruning
The first roots race down the special grooves and quickly emerge through the drainage hole. The tips die off naturally causing masses of side roots to develop higher in the cell. This results in a super root system all set to feed a perfect plant.
