How It Works
How Mycorrhizae Support Crop Success
Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, acting as a living extension of the root system. Once applied to the root zone, these fungi colonize the root surface and send out fine thread-like structures called hyphae into the surrounding soil. This fungal network dramatically expands the plant’s ability to access water and essential nutrients—especially phosphorus and micronutrients—beyond the reach of its natural roots.
For nursery growers, this partnership translates into more vigorous transplants, stronger root systems, and reduced transplant shock. Mycorrhizal inoculants are especially valuable in container-grown environments, where soil volume and nutrient availability are limited. Whether you're working with plugs, liners, or 5-gallon containers, early inoculation helps plants establish faster, maintain consistent growth, and better tolerate periods of stress during production, shipping, or retail display.
The benefits continue beyond your greenhouse or nursery. Mycorrhizal-colonized plants are more resilient once installed in landscapes or gardens, which means fewer callbacks, better customer satisfaction, and improved plant survival rates. By integrating mycorrhizal fungi into your growing program, you’re not just enhancing your crop—you’re investing in long-term plant performance and business success.
Key Grower Benefits
Discover how our agricultural solutions can transform your growing operation with these key benefits.
Better Phosphorus Uptake
Unlock phosphorus from soil reserves through enhanced mycorrhizal networks. Our bio-stimulants increase nutrient availability dramatically, helping plants access previously unavailable phosphorus compounds in your soil for stronger growth and higher yields.
Stronger Root Systems
Develop robust, extensive root networks that penetrate deeper into soil profiles. Enhanced root mass increases water and nutrient absorption capacity while improving plant resilience against drought stress and environmental challenges.
Lower Fertilizer Inputs
Reduce synthetic fertilizer dependency through biological nutrient cycling. Our products enhance soil microbiology to naturally release nutrients, cutting input costs while maintaining or improving crop performance.
When & How to Apply
For best results, apply mycorrhizae at planting or early in the growing season to allow time for colonization. Mycorrhizae need living plant roots to form their beneficial relationship. The earlier you can introduce mycorrhizae to the root zone, the better your results will be.
Soil Incorporation
Blend the mycorrhizal inoculant into potting media or soil mixes before transplanting or up-potting. This method ensures that fungi are present and in close proximity to the roots as they grow. It’s especially useful for propagation trays, containers, and nursery beds, offering long-term colonization and support throughout the production cycle.
Irrigation Application
Apply through drip irrigation or overhead systems. Water-soluble formulations can be injected into irrigation systems to distribute mycorrhizae throughout the root zone, providing even coverage across your growing area.
Root Dip
Create a slurry by mixing the powder with water and briefly dipping root plugs, liners, or bare-root stock before planting. This ensures immediate and direct contact between the mycorrhizal fungi and the root surface. It’s a fast and effective way to inoculate plants during transplanting, with minimal waste and consistent coverage.
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.
