The Problem: Lack of Oxygen and Soil Structure.
Oxygen is just as essential for roots as it is for any other part of the plant. When the soil becomes compacted or waterlogged, due to heavy rains, poorly managed irrigation, or heavy soil textures, the air that filled the pores disappears, and the roots are subjected to anaerobic conditions.
What does a lack of oxygen in the roots cause?
Inhibition of cellular respiration and the absorption of water and nutrients
• Proliferation of anaerobic fungi and bacteria (Phytophthora, Pythium, Rhizoctonia) responsible for root rot
• Damaged roots, weakened plants, and yield loss
And when the problem isn’t just a one-time occurrence—but rather the soil has an inherently poor structure—the cycle repeats itself crop after crop.
The solution: FORCROP’s dual-action approach.
We tackle the problem on two complementary fronts: the immediate symptom and the underlying cause.
FORCROP SOLCROSS
Targets the immediate symptom
A soil percolator formulated with soil conditioners and wetting agents, designed to optimize water percolation and distribution. It helps prevent waterlogging that suffocates roots, promoting water circulation and allowing air to re-enter the soil pores.
FORCROP SOLUM H20
Tackles the root cause
A liquid humic acid solution (166.5 g/L) that improves the soil’s physicochemical and biological properties, promotes proper soil structure, increases cation exchange capacity (CEC), and enhances nutrient retention.
The combination, in a nutshell: SOLCROSS provides short-term relief for the soil, while SOLUM H20 regenerates it to prevent the problem from recurring.
