Use
for correcting poor root growth & preventing root
disease
Do you know how many diseases are waiting to attack
the roots of your hydroponic crop? The effect of root
disease can be mild through to devastating. Most growers
have had the experience of thinking that their crop
is going to be great only to find that, within the
space of a few days, the crop’s condition has
degenerated markedly. For example, the leaves start
to change color and it begins to wilt.
At
Canadian Xpress, our scientists have isolated the battery
of chemicals that the plant manufactures to defend itself.
We have encapsulated these chemicals in a liquid formulation
and when this is used in your nutrient solution they
have the same effect as the plant’s own defenses
and the result is healthy plants. This approach is known
as Induced Resistance.
When
the plants are growing strongly, they can usually
fight off the effects of the disease. They are able
to produce chemicals which attack the disease organisms.
When plants are under stress, they produce much less
of these chemicals and the disease organism can take
hold.
In
the above picture the plant on the right has
been treated with Regen-A-Root, the plant on
the left hasnt.

These
two plants were grown with a nutrient solution
infested with Pythium and Phytophthora root
diseases. The plant on the left was treated
with Regen-A-Root and the plant on the right
received no treatment.
