Altinco Rootip Soil®:
The biostimulant that improves the soil and boosts the root
The success of any crop begins underground, but soil compaction is becoming an increasingly significant challenge. The constant use of heavy machinery reduces soil porosity and permeability, hindering root growth and increasing the plant’s energy expenditure. Additionally, this compaction limits nutrient availability and water retention capacity, which causes stress to the crop and affects its yield.
This is where Altinco Rootip Soil, the bioestimulant, makes a difference. Its innovative formulation not only stimulates root development but also improves soil structure, optimizing the absorption of water and nutrients. For farmers seeking to maximize crop efficiency in a sustainable way, Rootip Soil is the ideal solution.
What is Rootip Soil® and why is it essential for root growth?
Rootip Soil is a non-microbial biostimulant and part of the Root Biostimulants family within the Plant Boosters range. It is formulated with amino acids, peptides, and protein complexes that provide short-, medium-, and long-term energy to the roots. Its action not only stimulates root proliferation but also improves soil structure, optimizes nutrient availability, and strengthens the crop’s resistance to abiotic stress.
The design of the Rootip Soil solution, based on the Altinco Exact Nature® formula, combines L-amino acids and polysaccharides that increase the photosynthetic rate, promoting optimal root development and greater efficiency in the absorption of water and nutrients.
9 key benefits of Rootip Soil® for the soil and the rhizosphere
The application of Rootip Soil is designed to address two fundamental aspects: improving soil structure and stimulating root development in crops. This dual action results in greater efficiency in water and nutrient absorption, promoting healthy plant growth.
The advanced Rootip Soil formulation offers nine key benefits:
1. Improves soil and rhizosphere structure
The high organic matter content of Rootip Soil helps structure the soil, facilitating aeration and improving water and nutrient retention capacity. This supports root respiration and optimizes root development.
2. Stimulates root system growth
Thanks to the combination of specific amino acids and polysaccharides, Rootip Soil promotes the proliferation of root biomass, ensuring stronger and healthier roots.
3. Supports microbial balance in the rhizosphere
Rootip Soil contributes to the proliferation of beneficial microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) in the rhizosphere, enhancing the soil microbiota and optimizing the symbiosis between plants and microorganisms.
4. Increases cation and gas exchange capacity
It improves the availability of essential nutrients and allows optimal oxygenation of the rhizosphere, facilitating ion exchange in the soil. This translates into greater efficiency in the absorption of key nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, essential for balanced plant development.
5. Releases locked nutrients in the soil
The carboxylic acids present in Rootip Soil’s formulation help unlock immobilized nutrients in the soil, making them more available to the plant and maximizing the effectiveness of applied fertilizers.
6. Boosts water and fertilizer absorption capacity
It enables better use of applied nutrients and reduces waste by optimizing soil water retention. As a result, crops can better withstand drought periods and absorb fertilizers more efficiently, leading to more sustainable resource use.
7. Enhances crop resistance to abiotic stress
The supply of L-amino acids helps the plant cope with adverse conditions such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, reducing the impact of abiotic stress.
8. Counteracts plant metabolic slowdown
It stimulates physiological processes, optimizing crop growth even under abiotic stress conditions. The supply of L-amino acids and polysaccharides promotes protein synthesis and activates key metabolic pathways, ensuring the plant maintains vegetative activity during critical periods.
9. Improves crop quality and yield
Trials have shown significant improvements in yield and fruit quality, with increases in weight, size, and harvest uniformity. In addition, better root nutrition allows the crop to develop optimal organoleptic characteristics, improving taste, color, and post-harvest shelf life.

Proven field efficacy: Rootip Soil® in action
Field trials with Rootip Soil have demonstrated its effectiveness across various crops, showing significant increases in root biomass, root length, and overall yield.
In a trial conducted in Mazarrón (Spain, 2024) with eggplant, the application of 10 L/ha of Rootip Soil showed:
-
14% more root weight compared to crops without Rootip Soil application.
-
A 29.3% increase in root length, promoting greater water and nutrient absorption.
-
A 5.6% increase in fruit weight, resulting in higher quality harvests with greater commercial value.
-
A 5.9% increase in total crop yield, optimizing productivity.
These results confirm that Rootip Soil enhances root development, leading to improved nutrient uptake and greater productivity.
