Mycorrhizal Fungi for Turf Management
Enhancing Turfgrass Performance
Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with turfgrass roots, extending the root system's reach and improving soil structure. This natural partnership enhances water and nutrient uptake while increasing drought tolerance and reducing the need for synthetic inputs.
Key Benefits for Turfgrass
• Expanded root zone access to water and nutrients
• Improved soil structure and reduced compaction
• Enhanced drought resistance and stress tolerance
• Reduced fertilizer and irrigation requirements
• Faster establishment and recovery from damage
Professional Applications
Our mycorrhizal products are ideal for golf courses, sports fields, parks, and commercial landscapes. They can be applied during seeding, sodding, or as a treatment for established turf. The fungi quickly colonize the root zone, creating a living network that supports long-term turf health and resilience against environmental stressors.
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 by 20-30% 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.
Seeding or Sodding
The most effective time to apply mycorrhizal fungi is during turf establishment—either when seeding or laying sod. This ensures early root colonization, giving the fungi time to form beneficial relationships as roots develop. Broadcast the mycorrhizal powder evenly over the prepared soil surface before seeding or underneath the sod layer to ensure direct contact with roots. This timing maximizes uptake and sets the foundation for stronger, more resilient turf.
Irrigation Application
Apply through boom spayers, backpack sprayers, 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.
After Aeration or Topdressing
Aeration events create ideal conditions for mycorrhizal inoculation by breaking up compaction and exposing fresh root zones. Applying mycorrhizal fungi directly after aerating or topdressing ensures the spores reach active root surfaces where colonization can occur. Simply blend the powder with sand or compost and apply evenly across the turf, then lightly water in. This approach helps strengthen established turf and enhances recovery in high-stress zones.
Important Application Notes
Make sure the inoculum comes in contact with the roots of the plants. Maintain adequate soil moisture after application to support mycorrhizal growth. For best results, allow 2-4 weeks for colonization before expecting visible benefits.
