Seed Inoculant Gives
Fast Start, Sustainability

Why do we call our newest product RACING JACKET? It is because when seeds are dressed in it they are rarin' to go—ready to take off at a great rate of speed.

This new product is an inoculant that we glue to each seed in a process much like that used to make M&M candies! The result is a speedy start after germination. Albright's RACING JACKET contains endomycorrhizal fungi—important for a plant's uptake of water and nutrients. There is also Trichoderma harzianum fungi—a growth promoter and disease fighter—plus beneficial bacteria. These living organisms form a symbiotic relationship with roots of newly germinated seedlings for enhanced growth and nutrient support throughout the plant's life.

The result is spectacular, healthy growth. The payback for introduction of these friendly fungi is well documented. See the March/April '98 issue of LEAF-let for a description of how the overall rhizosphere is biologically enhanced by our AM120soil inoculant. With RACING JACKET, each seed is the epicenter of its own micro-rhisosphere, giving the new plant strong biological support from the moment of germination. The March/April '96 LEAF-let issue gives a full discussion of how beneficial fungi and bacteria are used by plants. (For information on-line, check our website under The Best of The LEAF-let: Beneficial Fungi.)

RACING JACKET is specially formulated to help:

• increase nutrient and water absorption
• reduce transplant shock
• increase tolerance to environmental stress such as drought and salinity
• increase root biomass
• decrease need for phosphate fertilizers
• increase availability of certain elements, particularly calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, manganese and potassium.

RACING JACKET gives turf and other plantings from seed a head start that results in quick establishment of healthy, vital plants.
