Product Type
Rooting biostimulant with IBA, seaweed extract and organic matter
+ROOT
Rooting biostimulant with IBA, amino acids, fulvic acids and organic matter for early establishment, stronger roots and improved water and nutrient uptake.
+ROOT is a rooting biostimulant designed for the early stages of plant development. Its formulation combines amino acids, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter, fulvic acids and IBA, together with Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract and rooting bio-inducers.
The formulation supports the assimilation and internal mobility of macro- and micronutrients, accelerates root-system development and helps crops establish a stronger root structure. The organic-matter fraction also provides energy for biological processes and supports microbial activity in the rhizosphere.

Key benefits and agronomic effects
- Promotes a higher density of roots.
- Supports greater water and nutrient uptake.
- Supports crop resistance to stress factors through stronger root development.
- Supports recovery of roots affected by nematode and fungal activity.
- Supports endogenous cytokinin synthesis in roots.
- Helps establish a strong root system during early crop development and transplant establishment.
How it works / Technical advantages
+ROOT combines mineral nutrition, amino acids, organic matter, fulvic acids and IBA with Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract. The source also identifies alginic acid and mannitol as rooting bio-inducers and states that the formulation contains natural phytohormones specific to rooting.
The product is described as stimulating auxin production, supporting cell division and the formation of lateral and adventitious roots. Its organic-matter fraction also supports biological activity in the rhizosphere.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: +ROOT is intended primarily for early crop development, transplant establishment and root-system regeneration. For the crops in the soil table, the source also gives a general foliar dose of 300-500 cc/hL. For maize, oilseed rape, potato, sugar beet and wheat, the documented foliar rate is 1-1.5 L/ha.
Soil application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedbeds | During early seedling development, up to the cotyledon stage | 5-15 ml/L | 1-3 applications. |
| Outdoor horticultural crops — transplantation | At the first watering after transplanting and again 8-15 days later | 10-20 L/ha | 1-2 applications. |
| Greenhouse horticultural crops | At the first watering after planting and again 8-15 days later | 2-3 L/ha | 1-2 applications. |
| Bedding plants | At the beginning of root activation or when root-mass recovery is required | 10 ml/base | 1-2 applications. |
| Young trees | At the beginning of root activation or when root-mass recovery is required | 20-50 ml/base | 1-2 applications. |
| Adult trees | At the beginning of root activation or when root-mass recovery is required | 40-60 ml/base | 1-2 applications. |
Foliar application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedbeds, horticultural crops, bedding plants and trees | During rooting and early establishment when foliar application is preferred | 300-500 cc/hL | General foliar dose stated for the crops listed in the soil-application table. |
| Maize | After the beginning of vegetation, during leaf development (BBCH 10-14) | 1-1.5 L/ha | 1 application. |
| Oilseed rape | 1st: after the beginning of vegetation, during leaf development (BBCH 10-14) · 2nd: root-system regeneration after the beginning of spring vegetation (BBCH 19/20) | 1-1.5 L/ha | 2 documented application timings. |
| Potato | During leaf development (BBCH 10-14) | 1-1.5 L/ha | 1 application. |
| Sugar beet | 1st: after the beginning of vegetation, leaf development / juvenile stage (BBCH 10-16) · 2nd: leaf development, rosette growth and crop cover (BBCH 18-33) | 1-1.5 L/ha | 2 documented application timings. |
| Wheat | 1st: after the beginning of vegetation, leaf development / 3 leaves unfolded (BBCH 10-13) · 2nd: root-system regeneration after the beginning of spring vegetation (BBCH 21/22) | 1-1.5 L/ha | 2 documented application timings. |
Additional technical information
Target problem / deficiency symptoms
+ROOT is intended for weak or insufficient root development, early establishment and situations where root-system recovery is required. The source specifically links the product with higher root density, improved water and nutrient uptake, greater resistance to stress factors and recovery of roots affected by nematode and fungal activity.
