Price range: $29.21 through $624.75
DIEHARD™ Ecto Root Dip is a premium ectomycorrhizal root dip designed for rapid root growth. This powerful transplant aid is specially formulated for bare root trees, shrubs, and plugs. It delivers billions of beneficial ectomycorrhizal spores that form strong, symbiotic relationships with plant roots, extending their access to water and nutrients.
By improving nutrient uptake and strengthening roots, this dip reduces transplant shock and helps keep new plantings healthy and resilient. It’s especially ideal for forestry, landscaping, reforestation, and nursery applications — or anytime strong, early growth is essential. Furthermore, these fungi aid in strengthening soil biology, increasing drought tolerance, and securing long-term plant health.
To use, simply mix the water-soluble powder with water and dip roots before planting. This process thoroughly coats roots, ensuring quick colonization and reliable performance. Whether you’re transplanting hardwoods, conifers, or ornamentals, this root dip sets your plants up for faster establishment and greater survivorship.
Growers and landscaping professionals trust DIEHARD™ Ecto Root Dip to reduce losses and improve consistency. Boost your productivity naturally with this powerful ectomycorrhizal root dip — delivering strong roots, healthy shoots, and greater yields in any growing environment.
To use DIEHARD™ Ecto Root Dip, mix the contents of each bag with water at a ratio of 1 ounce per 1.5 gallons of water. Next, stir the mixture until it reaches a thick, gravy-like consistency. Then, let it stand for 15–20 minutes to allow the mixture to fully activate.
Once prepared, dip the roots of your plants directly into the mixture, making sure the gel sticks evenly to all root surfaces. Additionally, you can package the seedlings for shipment or storage after dipping.
If needed, adjust the mixture’s thickness by adding water or product to achieve proper adhesion. This process helps protect roots, reduce transplant shock, and promote healthy growth — whether you’re transplanting today or storing for future delivery.
