How good are those roots! The Mycorrhizal fungi love their Tarata partnership, and the results speak for themselves.

Roots do more than anchor plants; they’re a major link between plants and the fungal world, conduit partners removing carbon out of the atmosphere and storing it in the soil. But for that to happen, we need extensive, healthy root systems that include their mycelium partners.

That’s where mycorrhizal fungi come in. Their mycelium growth extends the plant’s reach, helping roots grow deeper and wider, unlocking nutrients and improving soil structure along the way.

Proven biological tools like Rootella strengthen roots, resulting in healthier soils, better crops, and more carbon where it belongs, in the soil.

Mycorrhizal fungi aren’t just beneficial, they’re ancient. These microscopic allies formed the first life support system for plants, helping them colonise land over 400 million years ago.

By partnering with early plants, mycorrhizal fungi became the original root system, enabling plants to access water and nutrients from poor soils. This biological breakthrough didn’t just green the Earth, it helped transform the planet’s atmosphere, driving a 90% reduction in atmospheric carbon over time.

We honour this incredible partnership by helping growers reintroduce and strengthen it with products like Rootella, a modern formulation of this ancient force.

Rebuild soil health. Restore resilience.

❄️ Winter doesn’t mean your soil biology goes quiet. Not if you’re using the proper support.

In greenhouse systems, mycorrhizal fungi can be a game-changer. These microscopic fungi partner with plant roots to enhance nutrient uptake, improve phosphorus efficiency, and mitigate root stress during the most challenging months.

Our new blog explains how adding Rootella at planting can improve winter crops, such as kale, lettuce, and silverbeet, helping you grow stronger plants with less waste.

✅ Better nutrient efficiency
✅ Healthier roots
✅ Smarter winter production

New Zealand isn’t just scenic landscapes and epic adventures; it’s also a powerhouse of homegrown goodness.

We can fully feed our population with locally produced meat, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and seafood, making us self-sufficient in five out of the seven food groups.

This means Kiwis enjoy some of the world’s freshest, most sustainable produce without relying on foreign imports.

Less food miles, more flavour, and total food independence? Yes, please!

Cheers to our hardworking growers, farmers, and fishers who make this all possible.
