Junger Baum mit starken Wurzeln in lebendigem Boden
Biological soil systems for Europe's forests

Strong roots.
Healthy soils.
Natural growth.

Hydrogel, mycorrhiza and organic nutrients form an active root system right in the soil — so young trees establish, survive drought and grow into forests that last.

Why Vivaroot?

What makes the difference — underground.

Vivaroot works where it matters: in the soil. Three biological components activate root, water and microbial life at once — no chemicals, no microplastics.

Works the whole establishment phase

Hydrogel, mycorrhiza and nutrients work together for months — not just at planting, but right when drought hits.

100% biodegradable

No microplastics, no salt load, no residue. Every component is nature-based and breaks down completely in the soil.

Roots that reach deeper

Mycorrhizal fungi expand the root's absorptive surface many times over. Plants reach water and nutrients that would otherwise stay locked away.

Up to 80% less watering

The bio-hydrogel stores up to 15 litres of water per application and releases it slowly during drought — right where the root needs it.

The challenge

Europe's forests are under pressure.

Extreme weather, drought and depleted soils are driving failure rates through the roof. In some regions, every second seedling is lost. Classical planting methods are no longer enough.

01

Drought stress

Young trees dry out before they can establish. Plant losses of up to 60 percent are reality in some regions.

02

Soil degradation

Compacted, depleted soils slow down root growth and the natural exchange of water and nutrients.

03

High replanting cost

Every replanting costs time and money — and delays carbon capture and ecosystem services.

Our technology

We don't strengthen the plant — we strengthen its ecosystem.

Three biological components work together so roots grow faster, reach more water and stay nourished long term.

Bio-hydrogel

Stores up to 15 litres of water per application and releases it slowly to the roots during drought — 100% biodegradable.

Mycorrhiza

Symbiotic fungi connect with the root and dramatically expand its absorptive surface.

Organic nutrients

Long-term energy for roots, fungi and the microbial life in the soil.

01

Bio-hydrogel

Our organic hydrogel stores up to 15 litres of water per application and is 100% biodegradable. During drought, it releases moisture slowly to roots and soil life, preventing critical desiccation during establishment — no microplastics, no salt load.

02

Mycorrhizal fungi

Mycorrhiza forms a symbiosis with plant roots. The fine fungal threads massively expand the root's absorptive surface and unlock phosphorus, nitrogen and trace elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.

03

Organic nutrients

Natural components activate soil life and ensure long-term supply for roots and microorganisms. No synthetic fertilizer, no salt load.

04

Scientifically grounded

Our formulations are developed in cooperation with research institutions and continuously validated in field trials.

Our product line

The right solution for every site.

Forest, city or field — every Vivaroot product delivers biology exactly where plants need it most.

Vivaroot
Forest

Vivaroot Forest

For reforestation and restoration

Vivaroot Forest is our flagship product for forest enterprises, restoration projects and protective planting. The combination of hydrogel and mycorrhiza secures establishment even on poor, dry or heavily stressed soils.

  • Reforestation after calamities
  • Climate-resilient species conversion
  • Restoration of brownfields and slopes
  • Protective forest planting
Vivaroot
Urban

Vivaroot Urban

For urban trees and green spaces

Urban soils are compacted, warm and dry. Vivaroot Urban activates soil life around the root, stores rainfall and eases watering cycles during the critical establishment phase.

  • Street trees and avenues
  • Parks and school gardens
  • Green roofs and retention areas
  • Planting pits in sealed surfaces
Vivaroot
Agro

Vivaroot Agro

For crops and specialty cultures

For organic fruit, wine and field cultivation. Vivaroot Agro improves nutrient uptake, root health and drought tolerance — without synthetic additives.

  • Fruit and wine growing
  • Specialty crops and berries
  • Herbs and vegetables
  • Organic field crops

Applications

Applications

From mountain slopes to street trees — wherever plants need to establish under tough conditions.

Forestry & Restoration

High establishment rates in reforestation, species conversion and protective planting — even on exposed, poor or dry sites. Stable root formation in former mining sites, slopes and wetlands as a basis for long-term functioning ecosystems.

  • Reforestation
  • Protective forest
  • Species conversion
  • Restoration
  • Slope stabilization
  • Wetlands

Urban greening & landscaping

Street trees, avenues and parks benefit from active soil life and reduced watering needs in hot summers. Gardens, estates and compensation areas establish more reliably — ideal for high-quality projects.

  • Parks
  • Green roofs
  • Planting pits
  • Compensation areas
  • Gardens & estates

Horticulture & agriculture

Nurseries, ornamental and perennial cultures develop healthier roots and more robust plants. Organic fruit, wine and specialty cultures benefit from better nutrient uptake and drought tolerance.

  • Ornamental plants
  • Fruit & wine growing
  • Specialty crops
  • Berries & herbs

Benefits at a glance

Six reasons Vivaroot works.

01

Water where it counts

The hydrogel stores moisture right at the root — not at the surface.

02

Deeper roots

Mycorrhiza unlocks soil layers that stay out of reach without symbiosis.

03

Available nutrients

Organic components make phosphorus and nitrogen plant-available.

04

Less watering

Up to 80% less irrigation during the critical establishment phase.

05

Fewer losses

Higher survival rates save replanting, time and money.

06

Stress-resistant plants

Trees that survive drought instead of dying from it.

FAQ

What you should know about Vivaroot.

How is Vivaroot applied?

Vivaroot is placed directly into the planting hole — during planting, with no extra step. Application takes just seconds per plant and works with standard equipment.

Does Vivaroot work on all soil types?

Yes. Vivaroot works on sandy, loamy and clay soils as well as on degraded or compacted sites. The components adapt to the existing soil.

Is Vivaroot suitable for organic farming?

All components are nature-based and 100% biodegradable — no synthetic additives, no microplastics, no salt load.

How long does the effect last?

The hydrogel stores water throughout the critical establishment phase — several months depending on conditions. The mycorrhizal symbiosis persists permanently and grows with the plant.

What sets Vivaroot apart from synthetic hydrogels?

Synthetic hydrogels store water but are not biodegradable and leave microplastics behind. Vivaroot is a complete biological system: hydrogel, mycorrhiza and nutrients in one application.

Can I combine Vivaroot with other measures?

Yes. Vivaroot complements mulching, tree shelters and mechanical planting. It doesn't replace good planting practice — it strengthens it.

Our story
