AGTIV® REACH™ P for Landscaping & Nurseries

AGTIV® REACH™ P for Landscaping & Nurseries is a powder inoculant designed for most landscaping and nursery work. This product is used for incorporation into growing media, for bare roots dipping or for soil injection with the help of root injection equipment. AGTIV® REACH™ creates the expansion of the root network by hyphae to reach further and uptake more nutrients and water, increasing resistance to abiotic stresses. AGTIV® REACH™ ensures your plants are stronger and more vigorous. 

Ed Bloodnick Grower Services Director

"Potted trees and shrubs require growing media with a good bulk density, to stabilize the container and a good aeration/drainage capacity for overhead irrigation. Bark-based mixes work well for this application, but the growing medium selected mustn't dry out too fast. PRO-MIX® BK and BKI are bark-based growing media that have a higher bulk density and good aeration/drainage characteristics for containerized trees and shrubs. The combination of peat, processed pine bark and perlite holds an adequate amount of water and provides for a good rooting environment for outdoor nursery applications."
