TL;DR
Enzymes and beneficial microbes improve root-zone health by breaking down waste, increasing nutrient availability, and supporting beneficial bacteria and fungi. They help plants grow stronger, resist disease, and achieve higher yields across soil, coco, and hydroponic systems.
New to root-zone management? Read our Hydroponics Explained guide to understand how enzymes, microbes, and nutrients work together.
Below you’ll find our selection of enzymes and beneficial products designed to support healthier roots, cleaner systems, and better results.
Enzymes and beneficial products are supplements designed to improve conditions in the root zone rather than feed the plant directly.
They work by:
Breaking down dead root matter and organic waste
Improving nutrient availability and uptake
Supporting beneficial bacteria and fungi
Helping maintain a clean, oxygen-rich root environment
These products are commonly used alongside base nutrients and boosters throughout the grow cycle.
Although often grouped together, they perform different roles:
Enzymes
Break down dead roots and organic residue
Prevent nutrient lockout caused by waste build-up
Help keep systems clean, especially in hydro and recirculating setups
Beneficial Bacteria & Fungi
Colonise the root zone and protect against harmful pathogens
Improve nutrient absorption and root development
Support plant immunity and stress resistance
Many modern products combine both for maximum effectiveness.
Adding enzymes and beneficials to your feeding program helps:
Maintain a healthier root zone
Improve nutrient efficiency
Reduce the risk of root disease
Increase growth rate and yield potential
Improve flavour, aroma, and overall plant quality
They are especially valuable in hydroponic, coco, and high-frequency feeding systems, but are equally effective in soil.
These products can be used:
From early vegetative growth
Throughout flowering
During flush cycles to clean the root zone
Suitable for soil, coco, and hydroponic systems, and compatible with nutrient programs from CANNA, BioBizz, Plagron, Athena, Advanced Nutrients, and more.
