Description
Beneficial Bacteria Root Zone Additive for Healthier, Stronger Plants
GreenPlanet Root Builder is a concentrated microbial root-zone additive formulated with two highly active beneficial bacteria: Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis. Together, these microorganisms help create a healthier rhizosphere by improving nutrient availability, supporting substrate structure, enhancing moisture retention, and strengthening the root zone against unwanted microorganisms.
Root Builder works alongside your regular nutrient programme to help convert organic and inorganic fertiliser components into forms that are more readily available to plants. By supporting an active and balanced root-zone environment, plants can access essential nutrition more efficiently and direct more energy toward vigorous growth and productive flowering.

Beneficial Microorganisms
Bacillus licheniformis
Bacillus licheniformis helps break down fertiliser components within the root zone, improving nutrient availability. It also produces naturally occurring antagonistic compounds that help beneficial microbial populations compete against undesirable bacteria.
Bacillus subtilis
Bacillus subtilis supports natural plant defence mechanisms and produces compounds known as iturins. These lipopeptides exhibit antifungal activity and help beneficial microorganisms compete with potentially harmful fungi and other microorganisms within the rhizosphere.
Together, these Bacillus species create a more biologically active root environment that supports efficient nutrient cycling and healthy plant development.
