Mycorrhizae are naturally-occurring, symbiotic fungi that attach to plant roots, forming a living extension of the root system. They dramatically expand plant access to moisture and nutrients in the soil environment. In return, the host plant feeds the fungi with sugars produced by photosynthesis. Two basic types of Mycorrhizae are Endo and Ecto. Most Mycorrhizae utilized for general vegetation management utilizes a blend of many variants
Features:
• Symbiotic Relationship: Mycorrhizae form a mutually beneficial relationship with plant roots, extending the root system and improving nutrient uptake.
• Increased Root Surface Area: They dramatically expand the root surface area, allowing plants to access more moisture and nutrients.
• Enzyme Release: Mycorrhizal fungi release powerful enzymes into the soil that dissolve hard-to-capture nutrients such as organic nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and other tightly bound soil nutrients.
Benefits:
• Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: Mycorrhizae help plants absorb water and nutrients more effectively, leading to healthier and more robust vegetation.
• Improved Soil Structure: They build a natural microbial system that enhances soil structure and quality.
• Increased Drought Tolerance: Mycorrhizae improve plants’ tolerance to environmental stresses, including drought.
• Better Plant Growth: The symbiotic relationship between mycorrhizae and plant roots results in improved plant growth, yields, and vigor
