+ROOT
Advanced Rooting Biostimulant for Faster Establishment and Stronger Root Systems
The early stages of crop development are critical for determining future plant performance. Weak or poorly established roots can restrict nutrient uptake, reduce water-use efficiency and make crops more vulnerable to environmental stress. +ROOT provides a targeted combination of nutrients and biostimulant compounds designed to accelerate root-system development and give crops a more uniform and vigorous start.
The formula contains a high proportion of organic matter and fulvic acids, which support nutrient availability and biological activity in the rhizosphere. Its amino acids contribute readily available organic nitrogen, while phosphorus and potassium support energy transfer, cell development and early plant growth. The presence of Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract, alginic acid, mannitol, micronutrients and IBA reinforces its root-promoting action.
+ROOT also supports the plant’s natural production of auxins and endogenous cytokinins. These physiological responses encourage cell division, stimulate lateral and adventitious root formation and contribute to a higher density of active roots. The resulting root architecture helps plants explore a greater volume of soil and improves their capacity to absorb water and essential nutrients.

Origin and Certifications
+ROOT is presented as a European Union product and is formulated with Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract, amino acids, organic compounds, mineral nutrients and rooting bioinductors.
The supplied technical datasheet does not identify a specific organic-farming, sustainability or third-party input certification. Registration, certification status and permitted claims may vary between countries. Product suitability and local authorization should therefore be confirmed with the relevant Tangel Agro distributor or agricultural authority before commercial application.
Multi-Benefits
+ROOT delivers complementary nutritional, physiological and rhizosphere benefits:
- Root-system development: encourages the formation of lateral and adventitious roots.
- Crop establishment: promotes faster adaptation after germination or transplanting.
- Nutrient efficiency: increases the plant’s capacity to absorb and assimilate macro- and micronutrients.
- Water uptake: helps plants access water more efficiently through a larger active root surface.
- Stress resilience: supports stronger establishment under challenging growing conditions.
- Root regeneration: helps plants restore root mass affected by adverse soil conditions or damage associated with fungi and nematode activity.
- Rhizosphere activity: organic matter supplies energy for biological processes and supports soil microbial life.
- Plant signalling: promotes auxin-related responses and the synthesis of endogenous cytokinins in roots.

Technical Advantages
Balanced nutritional profile
The formulation supplies nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in combination with amino acids and organic compounds. Its phosphorus content is particularly valuable during early development, when plants require energy for cell division and root growth.
High organic-matter content
With 33.75% w/v organic matter, 19.50% w/v fulvic acids and 17.73% w/v organic carbon, +ROOT combines root stimulation with support for soil biological processes and nutrient mobility.
Rooting bioinductors
The formula includes IBA, alginic acid and mannitol. These compounds complement the action of the seaweed extract and support physiological processes associated with rooting and early crop establishment.
Seaweed-based biostimulation
Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract provides naturally occurring compounds associated with plant development, nutrient efficiency and stress response.
Synergistic action
The combination of mineral nutrients, organic matter, amino acids, seaweed-derived compounds and micronutrients creates a broader agronomic response than a conventional phosphorus-based starter alone.
Flexible application
+ROOT can be applied to the soil or foliage and can be incorporated into programmes for seedbeds, transplanted horticultural crops, greenhouse crops, ornamental plants, trees and extensive crops.

Recommended Crops and Timing of Application
Seedbeds and nurseries
Apply from sowing through cotyledon development to encourage early root formation, improve seedling uniformity and prepare young plants for successful transplanting.
Transplanted horticultural crops
Use during the first irrigation after transplanting. A second application can be made 8–15 days later when additional establishment support is required.
Greenhouse crops
Apply immediately after planting or during the initial irrigation period to stimulate rapid establishment in the growing medium and support early nutrient uptake.
Bedding and ornamental plants
Use at the beginning of active growth or when plants need to regenerate their root mass after transplanting, handling or environmental stress.
Fruit trees and woody crops
Apply to young or mature trees at the beginning of vegetative activity. It is also suitable when root regeneration is required following adverse soil conditions or reduced root activity.
Maize
Apply during early leaf development, preferably between BBCH 10 and 14, to support crop establishment and early nutrient acquisition.
Oilseed rape
Apply during early leaf development and, where required, again at the beginning of spring vegetation to regenerate and reactivate the root system.
Potato
Apply during initial leaf development at BBCH 10–14 to encourage early root establishment and support subsequent crop growth.
Sugar beet
Use during the young leaf stage and repeat during rosette development when continued support for rooting and soil exploration is required.
Wheat
Apply during early leaf development and consider a second application at the beginning of spring growth to support renewed root activity and vegetative development.
FAQ
What is +ROOT used for?
+ROOT is used to promote root formation, accelerate early crop establishment and help plants regenerate an active root system. It is particularly useful in seedbeds, after transplanting and at the beginning of vegetative growth.
Can +ROOT be applied to both leaves and soil?
Yes. The product is formulated for foliar and soil application. The most appropriate method depends on the crop, its development stage and the objective of the treatment.
When is the best time to apply +ROOT?
The best results are generally obtained during germination, seedling development, transplanting, early leaf formation and periods of renewed vegetative activity. It can also be used when the plant needs to recover damaged or reduced root mass.
How does +ROOT stimulate root development?
Its formula combines phosphorus, potassium, amino acids, organic matter, fulvic acids, seaweed extract and rooting bioinductors. These components support cell division, auxin-related activity and the formation of lateral and adventitious roots.
Does +ROOT help after transplanting?
Yes. Transplanting is one of its principal applications. It supports the formation of new roots, helps plants establish more rapidly and improves access to water and nutrients during the critical post-transplant period.
Can it help plants affected by nematodes or soil fungi?
+ROOT is designed to support the recovery of roots damaged by nematode or fungal activity. However, it is not a nematicide or fungicide and should not replace an appropriate crop-protection programme.
Does +ROOT replace the standard fertilization programme?
No. It should be used as a complementary rooting and biostimulant treatment. The base fertilization programme should continue to supply the crop’s complete nutritional requirements.
What is the general foliar dose?
The general foliar concentration is 300–500 cc/hl, or approximately 3–5 ml/L of water. For the listed extensive crops, the recommended rate is 1–1.5 L/ha.
Is +ROOT suitable for mature trees?
Yes. The datasheet recommends 40–60 ml per adult tree, generally at the beginning of vegetative activity or when root-mass recovery is needed.
In which formats is +ROOT available?
+ROOT is available in 1 L, 5 L, 10 L and 20 L plastic containers, as well as 1,000 L IBC format.
