MINERAL GREEN is a completely natural agent rich in nutrients and effectively contributes to the optimal development of the plant’s root system. Consequently strongly strengthens the whole plant for increased resistance to the environmental stresses.
MINERAL GREEN is permitted for use in organic production – no withdrawal period
- Purpose: Optimal development of the root system, strengthening of plants, increasing resistance to environmental stress.
- Impact: Watering the soil affects mainly to the root system and consequently to the entire plant. It penetrates through the roots within 30 minutes and spreads with the juices upwards through the plant. With the help of plant juices, it is distributed throughout the plant and supplies all the cells with the necessary nutrients to strengthen plants.
- Usage: Watering of all kinds of plants with 4% solution (40 ml for 1 l solution or 400 ml for 10 l solution), 1x after sowing seeds and/or after each transplanting of seedlings, perennials in early spring. Water the dry soil first with clean water, then with the solution of MINERAL GREEN. Before use mix the product well and mix in to the water. Stir well. Prepare as much solution as you need for a single watering.
- Properties: The concentrate fluid is colourless and odourless liquid.
- Packaging: The quantity is indicated on the packaging. Concentrate: 1 l, 3 l, 20 l, 1000 l packaging
- Storage: Keep stored in the original container in a dry and dark place, at temperatures between 10 ° C and 25 ° C. Keep away from food, drink, animal feeds and inaccessible to children.
- Shelf life: The product is consumed within three years from the date of production. Production date is printed on the packaging of the product.
- Packaging management: Wash and dispose of packaging as municipal waste.

Reasons to use MINERAL GREEN when cultivating seedlings
MINERAL GREEN is a completely natural, nutrient-rich agent that effectively helps to optimize the development of the plant root system. It greatly strengthens the whole plant and thus contributes to the plant’s greater resistance to environmental stresses. It is permitted in organic plant production.
1.) Seedlings grown from seed: watering 1 x after sowing seeds
- Accelerates the germination of seeds.
- Moisture retention in the planting substrate, lower risk of drying and the collapse of sprouted seeds.
- Reduced need for watering.
- Better utilization of nutrients added to the substrate.
- Optimal development of the root system over the entire volume of the planting substrate, especially the hairy roots, which are the only ones that can pump water and nutrients from the soil and thus supply the aboveground parts of the plants (stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) → these are therefore stronger and more resistant.
Left photo above: the left seedling watered after sowing with MINERAL GREEN, right without MINERAL. Left seedling has developed better root system with many hairy roots throughout the substrate. The darker color of the substrate indicates good moisture supply.
Right photo above: the left seedling watered after sowing with MINERAL GREEN, right without MINERAL. Leaves of the left seedling are more robust, thicker to the touch, firmly anchored. Without MINERAL there is a weak root neck, the plant swings as it moves, leaves are tender, brighter, more drawn.
2.) Cultivation by the transplantation of seedlings for further seedling production of ornamental plants and vegetables in greenhouses: watering 1 x before / after transplanting:
- Watering plates purchased seedlings before transplanting makes work easier and reduces costs, watering immediately after transplanting into a new substrate has a longer-lasting effect.
- Significantly reduces transplant shock and provides the formation of new hairy roots = rooting.
- Moisture retention in the planting substrate, reduced need for watering.
- Better efficiency of added fertilizers during cultivation, so standard fertilization can be reduced by 10-20%.
- Bold above-ground parts of plants: dark green, robust leaves with a thicker epidermis, wax coating formation, more flower buds.
- Increased resistance to negative influences from the environment, consequently a smaller incidence of diseases such as gray mold.
Optimally developed root system with numerous hairy roots throughout the pot volume when watering with MINERAL ™ GREEN.
3.) Transplanting seedlings to the outside: 1 x watering plates of vegetable seedlings just before transplanting into the field, seedlings of ornamental plants 1 x immediately after transplanting to a permanent location
- Significantly reduces transplant shock and provides the formation of new hairy roots = rooting.
- Soil moisture retention at a critical time of re-rooting.
- It greatly strengthens the whole plant and thus contributes to the plant’s greater resistance to environmental stresses.
- Bold above-ground parts of plants: dark green, robust leaves with a thicker epidermis, wax coating formation, more flower buds, more intense flowering, progressive formation and maturation of the fruit – therefore, the plants are not exhausted and the vegetation period is extended.
- Uniformity of plants by habitus, higher proportion of market-relevant.
- Rapid fouling due to environmental stresses, such as hail.
- The experiments confirmed higher quality and quantity of the crop (cabbage, strawberries, fruit vegetables, potatoes, hemp…).
