Description

Whether you’re growing in soil, hydroponics or aquaponics, bio-film and micro-sized particulates in the root zone are the biggest problem facing growers today. When the semi-permeable membrane gets clogged it won’t transfer water, minerals and oxygen easily. If the plants don’t get the nutrients they need they will show a nutrient deficiency. The grower adds more food to compensate. This not only causes problems by over feeding the root zone but also upsets the osmotic transfer of water into the roots. The reduction of oxygen to the roots from bio-film formation is the major cause of root rot.
