MYCORRHIZAE


Mycorrhizae products are an important tool in ensuring plant success in a number of situations. Mycorrhizal fungi are a vital essential in root development, water and plant nutrient uptake by roots, but are frequently missing from new soils, compacted soils and growing media. Mycorrhizae physically improve soil structure around plant roots either by separating clay platelets or by clumping sand particles. They also contribute to plant health by supporting other beneficial soil organisms such as nutrient fixing bacteria and develop a natural zone of resistance to disease around the roots of plants. (See picture).


These products should always be used in certain situations where Mycorrhiza is lacking:


• In all construction sites where the soil has been disturbed and organic matter is probably inadequate


• In all sterile media conditions, where the plants going in haven’t been exposed to Mycorrhiza. This is mostly when potting up in the nursery


• Wherever expensive trees and ornamentals are stressed, Mycorrhizal inoculation is a sensible insurance policy. Senescent oaks and maples, chlorotic oaks and conifers, early leaf drop due to drought conditions, root damage due to trenching near urban trees... these are all situations where Mycorrhiza can be added at a modest cost compared to replacement value of the trees


• Dryer and warmer summers seems to be the normal weather cycle for us these days. Mycorrhiza can help increase the water uptake of plants so you escape the two choices of brown plants or continual watering


Our Mycorrhizae products let you treat every plant in every situation with the right Mycorrhiza. 26
