DIEHARD™ Ericoid Root Dip is formulated as a bare root treatment with live beneficial mycorrhizal fungi to inoculate the roots of bare root plants before planting.  For 2011, this product is available in limited supply for experimentation with plants that respond to this type of mycorrhiza.  These plants have a reputation of being somewhat harder to establish when transplanted than most plants.  It is very possible that the reason these plants are hard to transplant is because the plants grown using typical nursery practices do not have a vital need for the mycorrhizal symbiosis.  When transplanted the plants rely upon the symbiosis but the abundance of this type of mycorrhiza is much less than endo and ectomycorrhizae.  Perhaps inoculated roots will transplant better.  Time will tell.  The mycorrhizal inoculant is combined with humic acids, biostimulants, beneficial bacteria, soluble sea kelp, yucca plant extracts, to promote rapid root development.  The mycorrhizal inoculant is managed with Horta-Sorb® SM which also protects the roots from drying out.  The results are better survival and growth rates and less watering for all transplants.

Mix contents of bag with water to form a mixture the consistency of thick gravy.  Let stand for 15-20 minutes.  Dip or spray roots and plant, or package seedlings for shipment or storage.  Adjust thickness of mixture to insure that the gel adheres to the roots when dipping.  (The 1 lb. package of this product will treat 500 seedlings.  If your dip mixture gets too hard add water.  If you add too much water add some Horta-Sorb SM to get the gel again.)

An added benefit when using this product is that when roots are dipped into the gel they become heavy and tend to drop nicely into our container mixes.  Before we were always trying to arrange the roots so that they dropped down into the hole without wrapping.  Now we do not spend time even thinking about this as all of the roots are nicely arranged to go immediately into a soil mix without further manipulation.  The labor savings here can be significant.

Approximate cost of using: 6 cents per plant
