6 Production Method ARMS technology This technology involves coating a non-woven membrane with SpinOut resin (containing copper hydroxide). On contact with this surface, root ends naturally go into a dormant state. This phenomenon promotes the development of secondary roots, which improves the entire root system while preventing root circling and emergence. ARMS benefits inground - Perfect development of structural roots - Consistency in plant growth - A stabilised supply of water and nutrients ARMS benefits once removed from ground (image illustrates root development 2wks after bag removal and potting) - Acceleration in plant growth - Quicker development of feeder roots - Stronger, quicker, healthier growing plants
