MYCORRHIZAE - 6 oz.

This all-purpose granular inoculum consists of 16 carefully selected species of endomycorrhizae, ectomycorrhizae and 5 bacterial species. A high quality slow release organic fertilizer is also added to improve mycorrhizal germination and effectiveness.

This is a granular material containing mycorrhizal fungi that colonize roots and extend into the surrounding soil forming an essential link between plant and soil resources. About 90% of the world's plant species form relationships with these beneficial endomycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal fungi. Working together, beneficial mycorrhizal and bacteria expand into the surrounding soil several hundred times and greatly increase the root's ability to absorb water and nutrients, while improving plant yields and health.

Mycorrhizal fungi increase nutrient uptake not only by increasing the surface absorbing area of the roots, but also release powerful enzymes into the soil that dissolve hard-to-capture nutrients, such as organic nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and other tightly bound soil nutrients. This extraction process is particularly important in plant nutrition and explains why non-mycorrhizal plants require high levels of fertilization to maintain their health.
