Multiplex Plant Aid – Profuse Root Enhancer for All Crops

Multiplex Plant Aid Profuse Root Enhancer for All Crops

Multiplex Plant Aid is a powder-form root enhancer containing a combination of Indole Acetic Acid (IAA), Indole Butyric Acid (IBA), Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and Alpha Naphthyl Acetic Acid.

The formulation is developed to stimulate profuse root development, including increased root length, root girth, branching and density of root hairs. A stronger root system can support plant anchorage and the absorption of available water and nutrients.

Plant Aid is especially useful for vegetatively propagated plants, nursery beds, rooted cuttings and transplanted crops. It can be applied through root dipping, nursery-bed drenching or drip irrigation according to the recommended dose.

Recommended Crops and Uses

Crop note: Multiplex officially recommends Plant Aid for all crops. Select the application method according to crop type, propagation system and current label instructions.

Dosage and Application Methods

Application restriction: Foliar spraying and a fixed 15–20-day repeat interval are not included in Multiplex’s published Plant Aid directions. Use only the application methods and frequency permitted by the current product label.

Water-Wise Mixing Quantity for Root Dipping or Drenching

Calculation note: This table applies only to the official root-dipping and nursery-drenching concentration of 1 g per litre.

How to Use for Root Dipping

1. Select healthy cuttings or planting material.
2. Prepare clean water in a suitable non-food container.
3. Dissolve 1 g of Plant Aid in each litre of water.
4. Mix thoroughly until the powder is evenly dispersed.
5. Immerse only the lower rooting portion of the cuttings.
6. Keep the cuttings in the solution for 30 minutes.
7. Remove the cuttings and allow excess solution to drain.
8. Plant the treated cuttings promptly in a prepared growing medium.
9. Maintain appropriate moisture during establishment.

How to Use in Nursery Beds

1. Prepare a solution containing 1 g of Plant Aid per litre of water.
2. Mix until a uniform solution is obtained.
3. Ensure the nursery bed has adequate but not excessive moisture.
4. Apply the solution uniformly over the active seedling root zone.
5. Avoid heavy runoff or prolonged waterlogging.
6. Follow normal nursery irrigation and nutrition practices after treatment.

How to Apply Through Drip Irrigation

1. Measure 100–200 g of Plant Aid for one acre according to crop condition and label guidance.
2. Dissolve the measured product completely in 200 litres of clean water.
3. Filter the prepared solution where required to prevent emitter blockage.
4. Begin irrigation with clean water to charge the drip lines.
5. Introduce the Plant Aid solution through the fertigation system.
6. Distribute the solution uniformly across the treated acre.
7. Complete the application with clean water to move the product into the active root zone.
8. Flush the drip system after application.

Recommended Application Stages

Product performance depends on crop condition, soil moisture, irrigation, temperature and overall management. Do not apply to severely damaged or waterlogged roots without correcting the underlying field problem.

Crop-Management Tips for Better Root Development

• Use a loose, aerated and well-drained nursery or field soil.
• Maintain adequate soil moisture without prolonged waterlogging.
• Transplant only healthy and properly hardened seedlings.
• Avoid damaging roots during lifting and transplanting.
• Use well-decomposed organic matter according to crop requirements.
• Follow a balanced nutrient programme based on soil-test results.
• Manage root pests and soil-borne diseases using registered products.
• Correct drainage, salinity or soil-compaction problems that restrict root growth.

Compatibility

Combine Plant Aid with another fertilizer, pesticide or biological product only when the labels of all products permit the mixture. Conduct a small compatibility test before preparing an unfamiliar tank mixture.

Root-growth regulators may interact with other plant-growth substances. Do not combine several growth regulators without a crop-specific recommendation from a qualified agricultural specialist.
