Released by life, not by water

Ordinary fertiliser dissolves the moment it meets water. RootMatrix waits in the root zone until soil life, roots and microbes, unlocks it.

Scroll to watch it work, step by step.

Step 1 of 6. The nutrient reserve settles around the roots.

Why it matters

Ordinary fertiliser: dissolves, leaches, escapes.

RootMatrix: held in place, released at the root.

No burn at field strengthGreen gram seeds sprouted 5 days in RootMatrix at 1:20. Roots looked longer and thicker than in water.

Stays put in waterSettles as a reserve. Redisperses when shaken.

The chemistry, for specialistsLayered hydroxy salt, no aluminium, green synthesis

Layered mineral

Positively charged Zn-Mg hydroxide layers hold sulphate between them: an anion-exchange structure that releases nutrients as carbonate swaps in.

No aluminium

Built on a pure Zn-Mg backbone instead of the usual Mg-Al or Zn-Al, so no aluminium enters soil or food.

Spinach green synthesis

Spinach phytochemicals act as natural reducing and capping agents in place of synthetic chelators like EDTA.

Potassium neutralised

Brought to pH 7 with potassium hydroxide, which leaves potassium behind as a nutrient.
