Stockosorb improves absorbency and extends soil moisture, enhancing root growth and improving aeration. This ultimately reduces the need for watering, saves labor, and extends shelf life at retail, thereby reducing shrink for growers. Plants also live longer in the landscape, increasing consumer success and satisfaction.
