A healthy root system is crucial to the success of greenhouse-grown crops, and beneficial microorganisms have proven to be a valuable ally. Active ingredients, like mycorrhizae and Bacillus, help plants reach and absorb more nutrients and water, reduce stress and stimulate plants for a healthier root zone and stronger plant growth.

Researchers from across the industry and scientific community have found mycorrhizae to be a beneficial association between a mycorrhizal fungus and roots. Premier Tech, which produces and markets growing media and other products for the greenhouse industry under the PRO-MIX brand, conducts research around biological inoculants and biotechnologies for the horticulture industry to further prove these benefits.
