Recover the root system and prevent disease after rainfall!

Due to the recent heavy rainfall in California, crop root systems are likely to experience stress, resulting in slow growth and temporary stagnation. This situation is further compounded by the current low soil temperatures, which can suppress root activity, reduce root hair density, and significantly increase the risk of oomycete diseases.

Following continuous rainfall events, it is recommended to replenish beneficial microorganisms, apply low-salt, low-stress starter nutrition, and include plant immune elicitors to support root recovery and disease prevention.

For this situation, SaferGro recommends the following products:

• Phosgard Bio – Provides beneficial microorganisms, potassium, and a controlled-release phosphorus source to improve rhizosphere health and promote root system reconstruction following excessive moisture stress.
• Fosphite – A plant defense–inducing formulation that activates crop immune responses against oomycete pathogens commonly associated with post-rainfall conditions, delivering both induced resistance and suppressive activity against these pathogens.
• Biomin N – a low-salt nitrogen source that supports new root initiation and early root regrowth without causing additional stress.
• Biomin 126 – a starter micronutrient formulation that promotes auxin synthesis, enhances photosynthesis, and improves respiratory activity, supporting overall plant recovery.
• Humax – enhances microbial activity in the rhizosphere and stimulates root hair development, improving nutrient uptake efficiency.

Together, these products help crops recover more quickly from excessive moisture stress while reducing disease pressure during periods of unfavorable soil conditions.
