How It Works

Biological Support for Resilient, Low-Maintenance Landscapes

Mycorrhizal fungi form powerful symbiotic relationships with plant roots, expanding the root system’s functional surface area through networks of microscopic filaments called hyphae. These underground extensions dramatically improve nutrient uptake—especially phosphorus and nitrogen—and increase access to water far beyond the root zone.

This enhanced biological network strengthens root development, improves soil structure, and increases a plant’s tolerance to environmental stressors such as heat, drought, and poor soils. The result is better transplant success, faster establishment, and improved health across a wide range of landscape species.

For landscape professionals, mycorrhizal inoculants offer a natural way to reduce fertilizer and irrigation needs while boosting the long-term performance and sustainability of every project. Whether you’re planting trees, turf, shrubs, or native revegetation, biology is your foundation for success.

Key Landscape Benefits

Enhanced Nutrient Uptake & Reduced Runoff

Mycorrhizal fungi help plants absorb nutrients more efficiently—especially phosphorus and nitrogen—reducing the need for synthetic inputs. This not only supports plant health but also minimizes nutrient leaching and runoff, protecting surrounding ecosystems.

Successful Transplants

Mycorrhizal fungi accelerate root establishment by forming symbiotic partnerships from day one. This leads to quicker recovery from transplant shock and higher survival rates—especially in high-stress environments.

Reduced Inputs & Maintenance

By improving water and nutrient efficiency, mycorrhizae reduce the need for fertilizers and irrigation. Landscapes become more self-sustaining, lowering labor and resource costs over time.

When & How to Apply

For landscape success, timing and placement are everything. Mycorrhizal fungi are most effective when applied at the time of planting or during periods of active root growth. Since these beneficial organisms require living roots to establish symbiosis, introducing them early ensures strong colonization and long-term benefits. Whether you’re planting trees, turf, or shrubs, application at installation sets the foundation for healthier, more resilient landscapes.

Injector or Hose-End Sprayer

Dissolve Mycopro Ag into a stock solution and apply through a fertilizer injector or hose-end sprayer for efficient, wide-area coverage. This method is ideal for established landscapes, large beds, or turf zones, delivering the inoculant directly to the root zone with minimal labor.

Root Dip

Mix Mycopro Ag with water to create a slurry and dip bare roots directly into the solution before planting. This ensures immediate contact between the inoculant and the root system, ideal for trees, shrubs, and transplants.

Broadcast or Incorporate

Apply dry product evenly over the soil surface before laying turf or incorporate into backfill or soil mixes during site prep. Ideal for large-scale planting areas, this method provides broad coverage and supports uniform colonization.

Important Application Notes

Maintain adequate soil moisture after application to support mycorrhizal growth. Ensure spores comes in close contact with roots. For best results, allow 2-4 weeks for colonization before expecting visible benefits.

Which Plant Benefit

Most landscape plants form symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi, making inoculation a valuable tool across a wide range of species. These plant groups are especially responsive to mycorrhizal support:
