Cytokinins, the hormones that promote cell division and keep your crop in a growth-forward posture, are produced in root tips.

Which means a compromised root system isn’t just a water and nutrient problem. It’s a hormonal one.

A root system dealing with compaction, low biological activity, or anaerobic zones is sending different signals to the rest of the plant than one that’s healthy and active. Those signals determine things like stomatal behavior, ear set, grain fill duration, which all impact productivity.

Our latest blog post connects plant stress physiology, the root-to-shoot hormone highway, and what soil biology has to do with keeping your crop on the right side of that equation.
