How to keep the root system active and healthy

Healthy roots grow healthy plants

Everything starts in the root zone. When roots are active and functioning well, plants can efficiently absorb water and nutrients, maintain healthy growth and better withstand stress. When the root zone becomes unbalanced, the effects are quickly visible above ground: slower growth, reduced quality, increased susceptibility to pests and diseases, and a shorter shelf life.

In this course, Plant Empowerment specialists explain how to create and maintain an active root system by steering the key factors that influence root health every day.
