Crazy roots is a phenomenon also called excessive root growth. Crazy roots is caused by the single-celled bacterium Agrobacterium rhizogenes, which as a hormone disruptor causes excessive growth of the roots. Agrobacterium rhizogenes spreads quickly and occurs, among other things, in the cultivation of cucumbers, tomatoes and zucchini.
Timely control of Crazy roots is the main priority for covered vegetable crops. We supply the remedy for combating the bacteria, which can also be used for prevention: Freebac-Clearoxyl. Our disinfectant provides effective control and is based on hydrogen peroxide. Thanks to some unique additions, you have a disinfectant with which you can prevent an outbreak of crazy roots for a long time.
Use Freebac-Clearoxyl on equipment, tools, surfaces and water pipes. Do not apply the product to plants.
Fighting crazy roots
Timely control of Crazy roots in covered vegetable cultivation is necessary, because the bacterium can cause major financial damage. Agrobacterium rhizogenes spreads quickly and can enter plants through injuries to the roots. The result varies from a few extra roots to galls and tumors on plant parts, which completely fill the rock wool blocks. In some serious cases of Crazy roots, the drippers themselves become clogged, causing the plants to dry out.
Freebac-Clearoxyl provides effective control of Crazy roots. However, please keep in mind that our disinfectant should not be applied to plants. Use Freebac-Clearoxyl to disinfect equipment, tools and surfaces, so that the bacteria Agrobacterium rhizogenes is killed and a possible Crazy roots outbreak is prevented. In addition, the product leaves no residue, making it ideal for cleaning water pipes.

Freebac-Clearoxyl is used daily in vegetable cultivation to disinfect blades, machines and other surfaces. Timely disinfection ensures that a potential Crazy roots outbreak is stopped.
Our disinfectant is based on hydrogen peroxide, but has some added stabilizing components.

The added components ensure that this effect is overcome. The result is stable, yet effective operation.

Symptoms Crazy roots
The symptoms of Crazy roots vary. We often see that extra roots develop on the ground or on the rock wool surface.
