Find out how to avoid preventable rootzone diseases this season
Root systems play a crucial role in plant health, absorbing water and nutrients and starting the transportation of key elements around the plant.
A disease of the roots has the knock-on consequence of impeding the uptake of water and nutrients, leading to a variety of plant health issues. As with any crop health issue, prevention is key and should be the first aspect a grower
considers.

Optimise your water management
As temperatures drop, it's crucial to minimise water usage to avoid drainage systems from freezing.
To ensure water is optimised for use, combine it with ICL's wetting agent, H2Gro.
Not only does H2Gro simplify the management of crops, it also reduces the amount of watering required and improves the uptake of nutrients while guarding against plant stress, resulting in better-quality plants.
