Description
2 ounces of Rooting compound
Makes 26 gallons of watering/drench solution, which treats over 100 seedlings (in 1-gallon containers) at time of planting.
E-Z Root? is a microbial based product specifically formulated to improve root initiation, root formation and root growth. E-Z Root? can be used on rooted and unrooted cuttings. There are 8 strains of highly active beneficial bacteria. The bacteria contains only pure microbial cultures. All stages of fermentation use state of the art methodologies under highly controlled quality standards. Each ingredient in the formulation was chosen based on the benefits it provides to the plant as well as the synergies it provides to the system as a whole. E-Z Root? is for all plants, flowers, vegetables and ornamentals. It can be used as a dip, a drench in soils, a seed starter and an additive in hydroponics.
The three strain microbial species with an organic based fertilizer is ideal for all plants, flowers, vegetables and trees. E-Z Root? is packaged in a two-ounce resealable bag. Detailed instructions on the back of the package helps for successful plantings. Included in each package is a measuring scoop.

Compatibility
E-Z Root ? is best when used by itself. Do not co-apply E-Z Root ? with pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, nematicides or fumigants. These can compromise the integrity of or kill the beneficial organisms. When applied in rotation with pesticides and other agents, allow 5-7 days between application of E-Z Root? and these agents. Never apply E-Z Root? just prior to a pesticide application. Do not mix the product and store in any tank or container, use all product within 4 hours of preparation. Agitate the tank while adding E-Z Root?and stir occasionally during the entire application process. A jar test should be performed when mixing with other inputs to test for physical compatibility. E-Z Root? can be mixed with other biostimulant inputs, sugars, humic acids and kelp.
Directions For Use
Each container contains a measuring scoop which is equivalent to 4 grams (0.15 oz.) 1 scoop = 0.15 oz
Note: When mixing E-Z Root? in water to make either a solution or stock mix for greenhouse applications; make sure the product is
slowly poured into water and agitated to go into complete solution. During the application process stir occasionally to keep it in
solution.
Hydroponic rates – recirculating systems
E-Z Root? can be used to stimulate and maintain root growth. For seedlings, cuttings and transplants add 2 scoops to the reservoir
for every 10 gallons of water. Run the solution through the circulation system for complete mixing. The amount of product needed
for a specific application can be made in a stock solution then slowly pour it in the reservoir that is full of water. This helps to ensure
thorough mixing throughout the system. Add 0.1 to 0.3 oz per 10 gallons of water every 7-10 days or when water is added. Top the
system off with fresh water between nutrient solutions.
? Monitor nutrient requirements with a conductivity or PPM meter
? Maintain reservoir pH levels between 5.5 and 6.5 for optimum results
? Keep reservoir aerated for optimum results
Soil-Less Media/Cuttings
Adjust the pH of the soil-less media to the range of 5.5 to 6.5 for optimum results. Slowly pour and mix 1 scoop per 1.0 gallon of
water. Pour the solution slowly through the media (perlite, coco, rockwool). When grow plugs or rockwool cubes are used, allow them
to soak for 10 minutes in the solution. When dipping cuttings keep them in the mixture for 15 seconds. Make sure the product is in
solution when using (no sediment on the bottom). Stir occasionally if planting several cuttings. Cuttings can be treated with dry E-Z
Root? powder. Sprinkle a small amount of E-Z Root? on a clean non-porous surface. Moisten the cuttings, place in E-Z Root? then plant the cutting in media.
Greenhouse Application
Make a stock solution by mixing 1.0 to 1.5 pounds in 8.0 gallons of water. Run the stock solution through the injector system at a
1:100 dilution. Apply E-Z Root? at the time of planting, seeding, sprigging or transplanting at the rate of 10.0 ? 30.0 gallons per 1000
square feet of bench space. The volume of solution should be based on the plant type and growing media. E-Z Root? can be applied as a sprench to plants during their growing cycle. Sprench is a method of application of a fertilizer, inoculant/biostimulant to plants that is not quite a foliar spray yet not quite a soil drench. When applying by this method the product is applied to both the foliage and the growing media.
Container Application
When planting pots and containers mix 1 scoop with 2.0 gallons of water. Drench root ball at time of planting, allow to soak up to 10
minutes. When treating individual containers drench the containers with finished solution based on the container size
Pot/Container size – Amount of solution
1 gallon – 1 Quart
10 gallon – 1 gallon
5 gallon – 2 Quarts
per caliper inch – 1 gallon
Soil Application
E-Z Root? can be applied with soil prior to planting to improve the soil conditions and promote root morphogenesis. This is the
process associated with increases in root initiation, root growth and root formation. Incorporate 3 scoops per 2.0 cubic feet of soil or
0.5 pounds per cubic yard. If amending individual containers mix E-Z Root? around the plant hole at a rate of 1.0 scoop for a 1-3
gallon container.
Deep Root Feed Injections
Apply as needed throughout the growing season to maintain plants and enhance the root system. E-Z Root? should be applied with a commercial grade injection system. Slowly pour E-Z Root? at a rate of 1.0 to 1.5 pounds per 100 gallons of water. Stir and agitate the mixture to ensure that it is in solution. Stir occasionally while applying to keep the mixture in solution. Apply the higher rate for trees/shrubs under stress or less than 3 years old. Mix the required amount of E-Z Root? and inject using a grid system. Space holes on a 2 to 3 foot centers in a grid pattern. Extend the holes out to the drip line. For trees under 3? caliper inject at 2.0 foot intervals in the grid pattern. For every 6? of height or caliper inch of tree inject a total volume 1.5 to 2.0 gallons. Apply evenly between each hole. For shrubs inject at a depth of 3-5 inches. When finished, backflush and clean the equipment with water.
Turf Application
Plant Thrive is the recommended product for turf applications but E-Z Root? can be utilized. It can be applied to all types of turf
varieties during the season when the soil temperature is 50 F or higher. Mix 1.0 ? 2.0 ounces of E-Z Root ? in 3.0 -4.0 gallons of water and apply with a chemical applicator on 1000 square feet. E-Z Root? can be reapplied every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.
