Atami ATA Atazyme 5L 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 a crop develops, 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.
Enzymes act as biological catalysts, helping accelerate biochemical reactions without functioning as conventional NPK fertilisers themselves. By helping clear old root material, Atazyme supports a cleaner, more open root 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 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 5L container can therefore prepare approximately 1,667-5,000 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 improve substrate aeration - removing decomposing root material helps maintain a more open growing medium.
- Supports healthy root development - a well-aerated root environment provides better conditions for continued root growth.
- Releases minerals & sugars - breakdown of old root material makes valuable materials available within the root 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 - designed for continued use through the vegetative and generative stages.
- Useful when reusing substrates - particularly effective where growing media are being partially reused.
- Commercial 5L format - provides enough concentrate to prepare approximately 1,667-5,000L of solution.
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 the case of 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 keep the environment surrounding the active root system cleaner and more open.
Breaks down old & dead root material
Atami specifically formulates Atazyme to help break down old and dead root material in the substrate.
This process has two important consequences. First, minerals and sugars contained within decomposing root material can become available within the growing environment.
Secondly, clearing old root material helps create more space within the substrate, contributing to a lighter and better-aerated root environment.
This is useful throughout a crop cycle, particularly once the root system has become extensive and natural root turnover is taking place throughout the container or growing system.
Helps maintain an airy growing medium
Good root-zone aeration is fundamental to healthy plant development. Roots require access to oxygen as well as water and mineral nutrition.
By helping remove old root material from the substrate, Atazyme contributes to maintaining a more open structure around the active root system.
Atami links this improved aeration with better root development and a healthier root environment.
Atazyme does not replace good irrigation practice or the physical drainage characteristics of the substrate, but it can form an important part of ongoing root-zone management.
NPK-free with minimal effect on EC
ATA Atazyme is an NPK-free additive. It is not intended to replace a complete base nutrient or supply the primary nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium required by the crop.
Instead, 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 it particularly useful within established feeding programmes where growers want the benefits of an enzyme additive without substantially increasing the overall mineral concentration of the nutrient solution.
Suitable for soil, coco & hydro
Atazyme is a versatile additive that Atami recommends alongside normal nutrition in soil, coco and hydroponic cultivation.
In soil and peat-based substrates it supports the breakdown of old root material and helps maintain an aerated root environment.
In coco it can be incorporated alongside the normal coco base nutrient and crop-stage additives throughout the cycle.
In hydroponic programmes it provides enzyme activity without acting as another high-EC fertiliser, making it straightforward to incorporate alongside mineral base nutrition.
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.
The manufacturer recommends using Atazyme approximately once per week throughout the growing and flowering cycle, with the exact concentration adjusted to suit the individual plant or crop.
At 1-3ml/L, use 10-30ml for 10L, 50-150ml for 50L, 100-300ml for 100L, 500ml-1.5L for 500L and 1-3L for 1,000L of solution.
A 5L container prepares approximately 5,000L at 1ml/L, 2,500L at 2ml/L or 1,667L at 3ml/L.
Atami's grow guides are intended as starting points. Final application should take account of the crop, growing medium, environmental conditions and wider nutrient programme.
Enzyme support throughout the crop cycle
Atazyme is not restricted to either vegetative growth or flowering. Atami recommends its use throughout both stages.
This reflects the fact that root turnover continues as plants develop. Even while the visible part of the plant is concentrating on flowering and fruit development, the root environment remains fundamental to water and nutrient uptake.
Atazyme can therefore remain part of the feeding programme as the crop moves from active vegetative development into flowering and ripening.
Useful when reusing growing substrates
Atami specifically highlights Atazyme as being very effective when partially reusing growing substrates.
Used growing media can contain significant amounts of old root material from the previous crop. Supporting the decomposition of this material can help prepare the root environment for subsequent planting.
Atazyme should not be viewed as a substitute for assessing the physical condition, salinity, nutrient status or hygiene of a used substrate. However, its enzyme activity makes it particularly relevant where suitable media are being responsibly 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 a range of its feeding programmes, including soil, coco and hydroponic schedules.
This means it can be combined with the appropriate Atami base nutrient and crop-stage additives while performing its own specialist enzyme function in the root environment.
Because Atazyme contributes very little to EC, it can be incorporated without the substantial nutrient-strength increase associated with concentrated NPK or PK products.
5L Atazyme for larger growing systems
The 5L format is particularly suitable for commercial growers, larger reservoirs and growers using Atazyme regularly across multiple crops.
Its concentrated 1-3ml/L application rate provides substantial coverage from each container.
At the middle 2ml/L concentration, one 5L container is sufficient to prepare approximately 2,500 litres of solution.
At the lower 1ml/L concentration, the same container can prepare approximately 5,000 litres.
