Root Revive®
Watch your root system expand!

Myco...what?
Mycorrhizal fungi are as old as plant life itself. It wasn't until the late 1800's that a symbiotic relationship was first discovered between certain species of fungi and plant roots. Horticulturists have touted the benefits of mycorrhizal fungi for decades, but until recently, no one had the technology to make it commercially available for growers and turf superintendents.

Root Revive from Eco Soil Systems is a FreshPack mycorrhizal program. By increasing the root system, Root Revive increases the turf's ability to utilize available nutrients and moisture in the soil.

How Does It Work?
Root Revive contains naturally occurring mycorrhizal fungal spores that germinate and penetrate a plant's roots. The mycorrhizal fungi send out additional hyphae that act as a "secondary root system". These microscopic hyphae search out additional moisture and nutrients that a plant cannot find with its normal root system. This symbiotic relationship increases plant growth to create a plant that is more resistant to stress.

Mycorrhizal fungi occur naturally in many soils, but their presence is often lacking where they are needed most...areas such as sand greens. Root Revive puts mycorrhizal fungi into areas where it is absent or has been destroyed. This increases the inoculated plants' ability to prosper in these induced stress conditions. Increased Plant

Growth and Appearance
Turf inoculated with Root Revive will be more vigorous compared to turf that may be lacking mycorrhizal fungi. This allows the plants to achieve more growth in a shorter period of time. The turf's appearance will be enhanced, since it is less likely to suffer from nutrient deficiencies and environmental stresses.

Better Developed Root System
The root mass of the turf will increase in size and longevity. The additional hyphae from the mycorrhizal fungi can increase the root surface area by 10 to 1000 times. This gives your plants up to 1000 more opportunities to find additional water and nutrients in the soil.

Reduced Effects of Stress
High soil pH and salt content conditions can tie up valuable nutrients and water, making them unavailable to the plant. The added root surface area that can be obtained from the use of Root Revive allows the plant to find more nutrients and moisture in these difficult conditions. Inoculated plants will also be more adaptive to surviving conditions of drought and compaction and better able to resist invading plant pathogens.
