Groundwork BioAg to Feature Rootella Portfolio at Commodity Classic
Groundwork BioAg, a leading manufacturer of mycorrhizal inoculants, will present its Rootella product line at Commodity Classic 2025. The company will feature Rootella L, Rootella X, and the newly launched Rootella Forte powder, highlighting their ability to enhance nutrient uptake, crop resilience, and soil health.
Mycorrhizal fungi, often referred to as the “Queen of Biologicals,” are essential for soil organic carbon (SOC) retention. Rootella inoculants extend plant root systems, increasing access to nutrients and water, while improving long-term soil sustainability.
“In my conversations with growers, I’ve heard firsthand the excitement about how Rootella consistently performs in the soil as well as creates a new revenue stream from carbon,” said Andrew Duff, General Manager of North America for Groundwork BioAg. “Our new Rootella Forte responds to growers’ requests for a high-concentration powder that can easily be applied on more acres.”
New Rootella Forte Powder Doubles Coverage per Pouch
The latest addition to the Rootella portfolio, Rootella Forte powder, is designed to increase efficiency for growers. The highly concentrated formula allows a single pouch to treat 40 acres, double the previous application rate.
Rootella’s formulations are designed to fit into various farming systems, including conventional, regenerative, and no-till practices. The company reports that farmers using Rootella products have achieved:
- Up to 50% phosphorus reduction without affecting yield.
- Cost savings of approximately $38.50 per acre, based on current market prices.
Rootella Carbon Program Expands Amid Growing Demand
With increasing interest in carbon farming, Groundwork BioAg announced that its Rootella Carbon program has grown tenfold in North America since its launch in 2023. Due to high demand, the company has now opened a waiting list for the 2026 growing season.
The program is aimed at unlocking carbon credit opportunities for growers, particularly in low-till and no-till systems, which represent over 270 million acres in the U.S., Canada, and Brazil.

✅ Farmers receive up to 70% of net proceeds from carbon credit sales.
✅ Sequesters 1-4 tCO₂e per acre per year.
✅ Relevant for both conventional and regenerative farmers.
✅ Provides permanent carbon dioxide removal through mycorrhizal fungi.
✅ Offers agronomic advantages, including higher yields, stress tolerance, and fertilizer reduction.
In 2025, Rootella mycorrhizal inoculants will be used on 5.5 million acres in 23 markets, including the U.S., Brazil, India, and China.
