Bare Roots

AquaLoc can be used for root dipping in order to prevent the desiccation of the roots of seedlings during transplanting or transport over a long distance.

Procedure:

• Mix 1 kg of AquaLoc in 150 - 200 liters of water. Amounts vary depending on the salinity of the water.
• Slowly pour in the product while stirring the water to obtain a dressing without clumping of particles.
• Let the dressing stand for 15 minutes, the time needed for AquaLoc to reach its maximum absorption. It is important to obtain a dressing that will adhere completely to the roots. The longer the maturation time, the thicker the dressing will be and the better it will adhere to the roots.
• A water soluble nematocide and/or fungicide may also be added to the preparation to protect plants against nematode and fungal attacks.
