Root Starter?

How many of you guys are using a root starter/stimulator as part of your planting process? we used them a couple of years back with good success but I have not kept it consistent (and I am losing more plant now...)

Has anyone made this part of thier crews' process when planting?

Thanks,

Don"t know about root strarter, but I know what are you thinking off.

For faster root grow, I usually use a combination of iron and phosphates and results are great.

In last 10-15 jobs where we used this combination of elements none plat is lost.

Is this a fertilizer or one of the mycorrhizal fungi inoculants?
