What are mycorrhizae?
They are friendly fungi that will inhabit the roots of plants providing
them with the ultimate conditions for root growth and the ability to take
up water and nutrients from the soil. When you apply the mycorrhizae
inoculant to plant roots and soil they will grow throughout the soil
around the plant roots by extending their hyphae. These hyphae are able to
extend into minute areas of the soil to take up and feed the plant roots
precisely what they need from the soil.
What do mycorrhizae do for your plants?
Mycorrhizae are a natural way for a plant to sustain
itself. Any stress that the plant encounters are offset by the benefits of
the mycorrhizae. Some examples of these symbiotic relationships between
the fungi and plant roots are in helping the plant withstand attacks of
root knot nematodes, soil borne diseases- both fungal and bacterial, high
winds, drought, salt in the soil, intense heat and more. We can’t say
enough for all the good we have seen mycorrhizae do so we will show you.
 In
the first picture we have some tomato plants that were severely neglected.
They had been left growing in 2-inch pots for weeks on end. They were
extremely deficient in nutrients, proper light, infested with whiteflies
etc. as you can see. We repotted some of them on 08/14/05 scoring the
tangled rootballs and wetting them with Golden Harvest Fertilizer. The
mycorrhizae were then sprinkled on the damp roots at the rate of 1/4 teaspoon per plant and they were repotted into larger containers. We use a
mix of soil, plant-based compost and Coco Peat as the potting medium.
This next picture was taken just 2 weeks
later! The plant
has grown quite a bit, has healthy foliage and sturdy stems. It is beginning
to blossom and has even set one little tomato! The tomato plant is an
extreme example of just how well mycorrhizae can benefit your plants. We
have used it on houseplants, perennials, and trees- you name it, all with
astounding results.
How do you use Mycorrhizae?
It comes in a easy to use powder form which you use to sprinkle on the
roots of plants you are transplanting like vegetables, perennials, annuals,
house plants, trees- you name it . It can be mixed into potting soil for
seedlings, sprinkled underneath seeds that are directly planted into the
soil or used on existing plants by poking or drilling holes into the root
zone and sprinkling a little in the holes. After that the mycorrhizae will
do the rest. You just feed and water as usual. You may find that mycorrhizae
will help your plant make such efficient use of any fertilizer that you
truly need to feed less!
