STARTBOOST, along with FASiLITOR, is a foundation product of the APTUS
range. STARTBOOST consists of two natural ingredients: humic acid and
protein hydrolysate.

This synergy of natural ingredients promotes increased transport of nutritional
elements across plant cell membranes whilst reducing levels of toxic elements
in the growing medium. STARTBOOST also provides organic nitrogen from
L-amino acids for natural and initial growth. STARTBOOST is also beneficial for
the propagation and root development of seeds and cuttings.

Organic nitrogen provided by L-amino acids promotes robust vegetative
growth and photosynthesis without risk of burning or overdose.

A wide spectrum of natural L-amino acids provides beneficial stimuli to bacteria
population numbers within the planting medium.

Humic substances have a positive effect on plant physiology by influencing
nutrient uptake and root system interactions within the planting medium.

Through interactions with various compounds in the soil, countless complexes
are formed from organic and mineral components. From the formation of
these complexes, compounds may dissolve, mobilise and transport products
throughout the medium. It is these sets of complex interactions with humic
substances that provide soil health, structure and ultimately, benefit to the
plant growing above.

WHY USE STARTBOOST?
• Powerful stimulator of tissue formation through organic nitrogen provided by
protein hydrolysate.
• Natural chelator of elements present in the planting medium.
• Provider of organic nitrogen in the form of amino acids resulting from
enzymatic digestion of natural materials.
• Beneficial agent for propagation of seeds and cuttings.
