MitoGrow™
By vitalizing root development and encouraging root hair growth in most plants, sod, and trees, the MitoGrow™ Aqua 3-IA is an IBA (Indole-3-Butyric Acid) amino acids Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B12 water-soluble powder. The IBA water-soluble powder (rooting hormone) slowly delivers the associated benefits, which promote root hair development, enhance cell growth, and overall health and well-being of plants, sod, and trees over an extended period. The sustained released water-soluble powder effectively feeds IBA to the plant during all stages of a plant, sod, or tree’s life cycle, not just during the very early stages.
The nutritional benefits from the water-soluble powder are particularly significant for plants and trees currently under stress that many factors can cause. The severe drought we often face in Dallas and Fort Worth can cause enough stress to affect root hair production, growth, and development, severely reducing if not destroying their to uptake the bulk of the water and nutrients needed for the plant or tree. Root hair production and growth are essential as they only live 2 – 3 weeks and then die off as new cell growth takes place, making the vitality of the continuous cell formation all the more crucial.
Along with the components that set TreeNewal blended fertilizer with MitoGrow™ Aqua 3-IA apart, the water-soluble powder also includes many other proven fertilizers that help stimulate plant, sod, and tree health and vitality. The combination of all parts of the TreeNewal product and the deep root aeration makes TreeNewal effective at bolstering the health and happiness of your plants and trees.
What is IBA?
IBA (Indole-3-Butyric Acid) is a naturally occurring auxin found in willows, maize, and some other species’ leaves and seeds. For over 70 years, IBA has been in use but has almost exclusively been used with root cuttings and associated applications to enhance root regeneration. IBA accelerates the rate of mitosis in plants and trees in which it’s applied. IBA produces more root hairs and larger root masses in plants, sod, and trees, stimulating their overall growth rate without needing additional fertilizers. In its water-soluble form, IBA is typically used in the very early stages of a plant’s life cycle. Now, with MitoGrow™ and its proprietary Pellet3-IA containing IBA in its non-water-soluble form, the time-released pellet can be applied during all stages of a plant or tree’s life cycle without the issue of rainfall or watering washing it away.

Commercial Applications
Golf Courses
Trees play an integral role in forming each player’s strategy as they line and direct fairways. Trees are not just aesthetically pleasing on golf courses, but they also provide functional value to each hole. Sometimes removing just one tree can change the dynamic of the hole.
Cities
Trees provide many benefits for cities and municipalities. Trees can save city stormwater management costs by reducing stormwater runoff. Along with the financial benefits, the beauty that trees can bring to a city or park can be the difference that sets it apart and makes it truly beautiful.
Landscapers
Clients often depend on landscapers to not only design their grounds but also to maintain them. As a property’s value can be increased by as much as 20 percent with well-manicured lawns and trees, overlooking tree care can be a costly oversight. Reducing warranty replacement costs and improving the sustained growth of trees, TreeNewal can be an effective alternative to fertilizing newly planted, existing trees under stress.
Universities
The universities across North Texas are some of America’s most beautifully landscaped campuses. The trees are an integral part of these landscapes and are just as susceptible to adverse conditions as any other trees. Just like the mind of the students must be nurtured to grow and flourish, so must the trees that bring aesthetical beauty to these campuses.
Hotels/Resorts
Hotels and resorts rely on their amenities, physical appearance, and aesthetics to attract and retain customers. Trees add color and beauty to the overall curb appeal of the landscapes of both hotels and resorts. Adding and maintaining trees around attention-oriented locations, such as the main entrance, pool, green belts, and pathways, can increase guests’ perceived value during their stay.
Growers/Nurseries/ Turf Farm/Hydro Mulch
MitoGrow increases the yield and root development of nurseries, tree farms, sod, cotton, and other crops. MitoGrow can be mixed with fertilizers and compost to lower transplantation shock, lower warranty costs, and improve root development of existing and newly planted trees and plants.
