PROMOT MZM is a seedling inoculant for use as a preplant root and/or soil treatment for plug or bareroot transplants. PROMOT MZM contains micronutrients and fermentation substances which may improve the survival of transplants. PROMOT MZM may increase the beneficial microbial activities in the rhizosphere which in turn promote root and plant growth. In fumigated soils or soils with low biological activities, PROMOT MZM is extremely beneficial in creating a rhizoshpere which is dominated by beneficial microorganisms.
