The Root To Success

A Healthy Root System Will Give A Healthy Plant

We Look After Our Lawns From Root To Tip

Picture
Turfgrass roots have three major functions:-
  • Anchorage – Roots ensure the plant stays in place, they also afford stability to the root zone.
  • Absorption – Roots are the primary vehicle to provide water and nutrients to the plant.
  • Biological development – It is understood that roots are the primary source for hormone synthesis such as gibberellins and cytokinins, which regulate shoot growth and development.



Factors affecting root growth
  • Physical Properties of Soil
  • Soil Moisture Content
  • Soil Nutrient Concentration
