Biostimulants are not actual nutrient , but they do stimulate the natural nutritional processes of plant , account Houweling . So these are fertilizers rather than plant protection product because these substances , intermixture , and microorganism are strictly intended to help the plant apply food more expeditiously or make the flora more springy to fluctuations in temperature , amount of light , or water ( a - biotic stress ) and improve quality characteristic , or increase the availability of nutrients in the soil .
They increase the efficiency of fertiliser , so plant life need fewer nutrient .
Among other thing , bacterium are used as biostimulants . But do n’t forget the powers of enzymes . We spoke to Thomas Douma of Houweling Horticulture about their enzyme - based biostimulant , Root Energize : " Root Energize is an enzyme readying . It bear the all in root rest in the substratum . "
Thomas Douma
" This digestion makes mode for fresh ( haircloth ) root formation , and thus , the substrate maintains its draining capacity . The enzyme convert dead material ( hemicellulose ) to glucose . Glucose render the works and beneficial microorganism strength and makes it stronger . As a termination , pathogens ( fungi and bacteria ) have less chance to strike . "
Root Energize is used in substrate refinement ; naturally , substrates such as coco , perlite , and rockwool do not hold back interchangeable enzyme . you may think of Root Energize ’s enzyme as the catalyst for the digestion outgrowth of beat root word residue ; the slab becomes cleaner , the slime layer dissolves , and pilus - root growth gets a boost .
Incidentally , this product is altogether in keeping with the spirit of the multiplication ; there is more focus on prevention to foreclose disease . Making the plant more resilient seems to be the motto .
Both measuring cup contain dead root remains . After a week , one can see ( on the left wing ) that digestion has set out ( by adding Root Energize ) . In the Erlenmeyer flask on the rightfulness , turn back only water , one can distinctly see that the digestion process has not yet started .
DosageRoot Energize begin the digestion of dead root remains . The minute of administration is ideally when the first dead roots appear in the slab . Then drip the substance weekly . This can be done at the same meter as other microorganisms . check that it does not flow through the pipes at the same time as hydrogen peroxide and/or Cl .
TrialsRoot Energize is one of the product marketed by Houweling under the brand name Deruned . Since last year , Deruned has been part of Houweling .
Root Energize is the improved version of Modicell . Modicell had already proven itself and so has now become even better . The first trials with Root Energize have started . Testing is now underway on various craw : plants , flowers , and vegetable . Very specifically , these include anthurium , genus Gerbera , and sweet pepper . " The crop grown on the substrate will benefit from this mathematical product , " say Thomas Douma .
