Disease Management Capability

• Damping-off Diseases: Provides exceptional protection against pre- and post-emergence damping-off. The beneficial fungi physically occupy infection sites while producing antibiotics that create a protective zone. Nursery trials document 75-90% reductions in damping-off incidence with visible colonization of growth medium within 3-5 days.

• Root and Crown Rots: Prevents major root rot diseases across diverse crops. The combined action of fungal mycoparasitism and bacterial antibiotic production creates multiple barriers against pathogen establishment. Field studies show 50-70% reductions in root rot severity with microscopy confirming direct parasitism of pathogen structures.

• Collar and Stem Base Diseases: Controls diseases at the critical soil-stem interface including southern blight, collar rot, and basal stem rot. Research demonstrates 60-75% reductions in collar rot incidence in susceptible crops when treated preventively.

• Cutting and Propagation Diseases: Prevents rotting during propagation with commercial nursery trials showing 30-50% reductions in cutting losses and 40-60% improvements in rooting quality, particularly in high-value ornamentals and fruit crop propagation.

• Transplant-Related Root Diseases: Mitigates diseases that attack plants during transplanting when root damage creates infection opportunities. Studies document 25-45% higher survival and 30-50% faster establishment in treated plants across diverse cropping systems.

For maximum effectiveness, apply Root Enhance preventively – as a seed treatment, rooting dip for cuttings, or soil drench during transplanting. Works synergistically with Growth (for enhanced nutrition) and Immuno (for improved plant defense).

Key Microorganisms

Our proprietary microbial consortium combines carefully selected beneficial microorganisms with complementary functions. It includes specialized fungal strains with exceptional root colonization capability that rapidly establish on root surfaces. These fungi produce hydrolytic enzymes (chitinases, β-1,3-glucanases, proteases) that degrade pathogen cell walls, reducing pathogen populations by 65-85% through direct mycoparasitism. They also produce over 100 documented antibiotic compounds that create inhibition zones around roots. The fungal component establishes within 48-72 hours after application, providing immediate protection.

The consortium also contains specifically selected beneficial bacteria that synthesize plant growth regulators (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins) at biologically significant concentrations (10-30 μg/ml). These stimulate lateral root formation and root hair development, increasing root surface area by 40-60%. Additionally, the bacterial component produces cyclic lipopeptides that disrupt pathogen cell membranes and trigger induced resistance. Its endospore-forming capability ensures long-term persistence under variable environmental conditions.

Mechanism of Action

• Competitive Rhizosphere Colonization: The microbial consortium rapidly establishes on root surfaces and surrounding soil within 48-72 hours, creating a physical barrier that prevents pathogen access through competitive exclusion.

• Direct Mycoparasitism: The beneficial fungi actively locate and parasitize pathogenic fungi through a sophisticated detection system. They sense pathogen-produced volatiles, grow toward pathogen hyphae, and attach to them using specialized structures (appressoria) that penetrate pathogen cell walls using mechanical pressure and hydrolytic enzymes, reducing pathogen populations by 65-85%.

• Antimicrobial Compound Production: Both microorganisms produce diverse antimicrobial compounds. The bacterial component synthesizes lipopeptides that disrupt pathogen cell membranes while the fungal component produces specialized antibiotics. These compounds maintain effectiveness even at low concentrations, creating continuous protection in the root zone.

• Phytohormone Regulation: The beneficial microbes produce and modulate plant hormones to stimulate root development. The bacterial component synthesizes auxins at concentrations of 10-30 μg/ml, while both organisms influence cytokinin and gibberellin levels. They also produce ACC deaminase that reduces ethylene levels, promoting root elongation.

• Root Structural Enhancement: Microbial interaction triggers enhanced deposition of structural compounds in plant cell walls with 30-50% increases in lignin, callose, and phenolic compounds, creating physical barriers against pathogen penetration.

• Defense Enzyme Activation: Root Enhance microorganisms trigger the plant’s defense enzyme systems with 3-5 fold increases in peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, and chitinase within 72 hours of treatment, activating the plant’s internal immune response.

• Nutrient Acquisition Enhancement: The microorganisms improve nutrient availability with the bacterial component producing organic acids and phosphatases that solubilize phosphorus, while the fungal component releases siderophores that mobilize iron and micronutrients. Research confirms 25-40% improvements in nutrient uptake in treated plants.

• Stress Response Modulation: The microbial consortium helps plants tolerate environmental stresses by regulating stress response pathways, explaining the observed 30-45% improvements in recovery after drought, temperature extremes, or salinity exposure.
