Plant XL™

History

Plant XL™ has its roots in greenhouse production, in 2001 while growing lilies at Flevo Flora greenhouses in Bluevale a natural solution was needed to stem the challenge of root rot and other pathogenic root diseases. While a number of different chemical treatments were considered, it was considered that the balance of the soil would be disturbed and the use of these products could have other implications that could have negative consequences. It was during this time that we connected with a manufacturer of natural products in Western Canada. We purchased and later sold product from this company. Knowing that we could improve on their technology we developed Plant XL™.

Plant XL™ has become a standard of excellence for the prevention of root rot, with many satisfied clients in hydroponic growing operations and high value field crops. Plant XL™ is a trusted product with a time proven track record.

How does it work?

Plant XL™ is a liquid mixture of living bacteria, trace elements, humic acid and fulvic acid. The bacteria that are contained in Plant XL™ are common soil bacteria; these bacteria are collected and multiplied at Alpha Agri-Products Inc.
Most of the families of bacteria belong to the compost type families and have been found to be a good match against many pathogenic organisms. Plant XL™ works by creating a competitive environment around the root zone (rhyzosphere). The bacteria in Plant XL™ deprive pathogenic organisms of food and keep a balance in the root system. This simple formula has worked in nature since the start of creation.

On what crops?

Plant XL™ works on any living plant and will help protect the root zone of any living plant. (Check rates)

Benefits. Plant XL™ has properties that act as a natural chelating agent, transporting nutrients into the plant. Many studies have shown that plants grown with humic acid have stronger cell membranes and trap moisture better than plants grown without humic assistance. Plant XL™ will therefore give plant protection from drought like conditions or if errors have been made during irrigation. Roots that are exposed to humic substances grow better root hairs which are essential for optimal nutrient uptake.
