Rooting

Rooting refers to the process of root emission and growth. The root system, beyond its primary function of absorbing essential elements for physiological activities, also anchors the plant to the soil and serves as a site for the production of phytohormones such as cytokinins and gibberellins.

The total volume occupied by the entire root system is called the rhizosphere. More specifically, this includes not only the roots themselves but also the portion of soil in direct contact with the terminal root branches. The rhizosphere is the center of various physical and chemical activities, driven by microorganisms and macroorganisms present in the soil, which influence the plant’s biological functions. Among them are potential phytopathogens such as fungi, viruses, bacteria, and nematodes.

The natural BioAksxter® fertilizer, when applied both during transplanting and throughout plant growth, positively influences rooting. Being rapidly absorbed, it enhances hydrophony, optimizing water and nutrient uptake by promoting a larger root system, particularly micro-roots. The root tissues appear whiter due to improved oxygenation, making them more resistant to mold attacks, desiccation, and necrotization.

In the presence of root diseases, such as root-knot nematodes, the consistent use of BioAksxter® leads to the regrowth of new roots, a clear sign of plant recovery from parasitic stress. This allows crops to resume their vegetative development, ensuring optimal production.
