Description
Root growth stimulation to drive maximum root growth, apply at 2 – 6 leaf stage of pasture
Root Growth Formula is used to stimulate & encourage the formation of the root system, improving anchorage of young plants, increasing their ability to access moisture, early season vigour and aid ryegrass pasture recovery after grazing’s. Root Growth Formula (containing Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, 3-IAA)) enhances root development, including more lateral roots and root hairs.
Setting the foundation for optimal performance throughout the growing season, this unique IAA blend is specifically designed to stimulate prolific root growth and boost plant vigor during the early stages of pasture or crop growth.
The increase in the plant’s root systems can stimulate the plant to increase its above ground growth, whilst simultaneously improving the plant’s ability to capture nutrients from within the soil to supply this growth.
Root Growth Formula can increased the stress tolerance of plants, as plants with better root systems are more resilient to environmental stresses such as drought and nutrient deficiencies.
Key benefits of Growth Formula
- More root mass = Better nutrient uptake
- IBA hormonally induces root and shoot growth
- Improving anchorage of young plants
- Increasing their ability to access moisture
- Increase drought tolerance of plants
- Aids in pasture recovery after grazing
- Provides more consistent results compared to other rooting hormones, making it a preferred choice in horticulture & pasture
Example Liquid Nutritional Program for start up pastures
Used for start up pastures to stimulate root development. Works well in combination with gibberellic acid, as the increased root biomass can then support the increased growth created by the gibberellic acid.

2024 Pasture Trials in South West Victoria
10km north-east of Warrnambool
Objective of our 2024 trial: The primary objective of this trial is to assess and compare the effectiveness of different pasture growth treatments in promoting optimal pasture growth and quality. Products include amino acids, gibberellic acids and
Experimental Design: This trial employs a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with treatments randomly assigned to plots within blocks. Each treatment is replicated multiple times across the experimental area to minimize the effects of variability.
