Atami ATA Atazyme 1L is an NPK-free enzyme additive designed to break down old and dead root material, help maintain a cleaner and more aerated root environment and make valuable minerals and sugars from decomposing organic material available within the growing medium.
Healthy roots depend on more than nutrient concentration alone. As plants develop, older roots naturally die back and organic root material can accumulate within the growing medium. Atazyme uses enzymes to support the breakdown of this material and help maintain favourable conditions around the active root system.
Enzymes act as biological catalysts, accelerating biochemical reactions without functioning as conventional NPK fertilisers. By helping decompose old root material, Atazyme supports a cleaner and more open growing environment throughout the crop cycle.
Atami recommends Atazyme for soil, coco and hydroponic cultivation. It can be incorporated alongside the normal nutrient programme during both vegetative growth and flowering and is particularly useful where suitable growing media are being partially reused.
Atazyme is used at 1-3ml/L and has very little effect on the EC of the nutrient solution. A 1L bottle can therefore prepare approximately 333-1,000 litres of solution, depending on the concentration used.
Why choose Atami ATA Atazyme?
- Enzyme-based root-zone additive - uses enzymes to support biochemical processes within the growing medium.
- Breaks down old root material - helps decompose old and dead roots remaining within the substrate.
- Supports a cleaner root environment - helps prevent unnecessary dead root material accumulating around actively growing roots.
- Helps maintain substrate aeration - decomposition of old root material helps keep the growing environment more open.
- Supports continued root development - a well-aerated root zone provides better conditions for healthy root growth.
- Releases minerals & sugars - decomposition makes valuable materials from old roots available within the growing environment.
- Very little effect on EC - useful alongside an established nutrient programme without substantially increasing nutrient strength.
- NPK-free - performs an enzyme and substrate-conditioning role rather than replacing base fertiliser.
- Suitable for soil - can be incorporated into soil and peat-based growing programmes.
- Suitable for coco - useful throughout coco cultivation alongside the normal nutrient programme.
- Suitable for hydroponics - compatible with hydroponic cultivation and nutrient solutions.
- Growth & flowering use - suitable throughout vegetative and generative development.
- Useful when reusing substrates - particularly relevant where suitable growing media are being partially reused.
- Trade-ready pack size - supplied in outer cases of 12 x 1L bottles.
What do enzymes do in the root zone?
Enzymes act as catalysts for biochemical reactions. Rather than functioning as a conventional source of NPK nutrition, they help accelerate processes that would otherwise occur more slowly.
In Atazyme, one of the most important functions is supporting the decomposition of old and dead root material within the growing medium.
Root systems are constantly developing. New roots and root hairs form while older tissue naturally becomes less active and eventually dies. This material can remain within the substrate unless it is broken down.
Atazyme supports this breakdown process, helping maintain a cleaner and more open environment around the active root system.
Breaks down old & dead root material
Atami specifically formulates Atazyme to help break down old and dead root material in the substrate.
As this material is decomposed, minerals and sugars contained within the old roots can become available within the growing environment.
Clearing old root material also helps create more space within the substrate, contributing to a lighter and better-aerated root zone.
This becomes increasingly relevant as a crop matures and the root system has extensively colonised the available growing medium.
Helps maintain an airy growing medium
Root-zone aeration is fundamental to healthy plant development because roots require access to oxygen as well as water and mineral nutrition.
By supporting the breakdown of old root material, Atazyme helps maintain a more open structure around actively growing roots.
Atami associates this improved root environment with better root development and continued plant health.
Atazyme does not replace correct irrigation, drainage or an appropriately structured growing medium, but it provides useful ongoing support for root-zone management.
NPK-free with minimal effect on EC
ATA Atazyme is an NPK-free additive. It does not replace a complete base fertiliser or supply the primary nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium requirements of the crop.
Its role centres on enzyme activity, decomposition of old root material and maintenance of the growing environment.
Atami states that adding Atazyme to the nutrient solution hardly affects its EC value.
This makes Atazyme particularly useful within established feeding programmes where growers want enzyme support without substantially increasing the overall mineral concentration of the nutrient solution.
Suitable for soil, coco & hydro
Atazyme is a versatile additive suitable for soil, coco and hydroponic cultivation.
In soil and peat-based substrates it supports the breakdown of old root material while helping maintain an aerated growing environment.
In coco it can be incorporated alongside the normal coco base nutrient and crop-stage additives throughout the growing cycle.
In hydroponic programmes it provides enzyme activity without acting as another high-EC fertiliser, allowing it to complement the normal mineral nutrient solution.
How to use Atami ATA Atazyme
Atami recommends using 1-3ml of Atazyme per litre of water. It can be used alongside the regular nutrient programme throughout vegetative growth and flowering.
At the recommended concentration, use 10-30ml for 10L, 50-150ml for 50L and 100-300ml for 100L of solution.
A 1L bottle prepares approximately 1,000L at 1ml/L, 500L at 2ml/L or 333L at 3ml/L.
Atami recommends regular use through the crop cycle. Final application should be adapted to the crop, growing medium, environmental conditions and wider feeding programme.
Enzyme support throughout growth & flowering
Atazyme is not restricted to either vegetative growth or flowering. Its root-zone function remains relevant throughout the crop cycle.
Root turnover continues as plants develop. Even when the visible parts of the crop are concentrating heavily on flower and fruit production, the root system remains responsible for water and nutrient uptake.
Atazyme can therefore remain part of the programme as the crop progresses from active vegetative development into flowering and ripening.
Useful when reusing growing substrates
Atami highlights Atazyme as being particularly effective when partially reusing growing substrates.
Used growing media can contain significant amounts of root material from the previous crop. Supporting the decomposition of this material can help improve the root environment before and during subsequent cultivation.
Atazyme does not make every used substrate automatically suitable for another crop. Physical structure, salinity, nutrient status, disease risk and general hygiene should also be considered before a growing medium is reused.
Using Atazyme with Atami nutrients
Atazyme is designed as an addition to the normal nutrient programme, rather than a replacement for base fertiliser.
Atami incorporates Atazyme into soil, coco and hydroponic feeding programmes, allowing it to work alongside the appropriate base nutrient and specialist crop-stage additives.
This means growers can maintain the primary mineral nutrition required by the crop while Atazyme performs its specialist enzyme function within the root environment.
Because it contributes very little to EC, it can be incorporated without the substantial nutrient-strength increase associated with concentrated NPK or PK fertilisers.
Practical 1L enzyme treatment
The 1L format provides a useful balance between treatment capacity and convenient handling for growers using Atazyme regularly.
Depending on application strength, a single bottle can prepare approximately 333-1,000 litres of solution.
At the middle application rate of 2ml/L, each 1L bottle treats approximately 500 litres.
The 1L format is supplied in outer cases of 12 bottles, providing 12 litres of Atazyme concentrate per full case.
