Citra-Root

Citra-ROOT™ is a byproduct of amino acids, specifically of the Gluten and the Soapbark Extracts, which are adequate for human consumption and are approved by the FDA.

A fraction derived from saposides causes toxic effects on nematode by direct action, affecting the neurotransmitters system which basically acts at the digestive system level. Therefore, the nematode does not feed or reproduce, dying during the exposure period.

Citra-ROOT™ also acts as a stimulant for rooting, so it protects the plant and benefits its development. It is not residual and does not build up on the soil or the environment. It is ideal for organic crops, and totally safe for human health.

Citra-ROOT™ is a FULLY ORGANIC product, with no harmful or adverse effect of the environment. It is not residual and does not accumulate in the environment.
