Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi - 9 species - Micronized - Makes 6 Gallons

Description

1/2 tsp (teaspoon) will make one gallon of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculant.  This packet (1/2 oz) will make 6 gallons of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculant.
Arbuscular Mychorrhizal Fungi Propagules are tiny root fragments that contain spores that live for a minimum of 2 years in the soil.  The goal is to try to get the propagules and spores down into the soil near the roots of the plant.  When the propagules are in close proximity to the roots of the plant, the spores will 'sprout' and begin to colonize the plant root.  The Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi will now begin to form a symbiotic relationship with the plant by providing a whole range of nutrients to the plant in exchange for sugars and other compounds the plant produces through the process of photosynthesis.  As long as the soil remains relatively undisturbed, this relationship will continue for the life of the plant with the added bonus of structuring the soil over time using a sticky compound called Glomalin  Structured Soil is called HUMUS and is the home for the MicroBiome in the soil.  The MicroBiome consists of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, Bacteria, Archaea, Actinomycetes and other organisms which all find a home in HUMUS and benefit from the symbiotic relationship created between EndoMycorrhizae Fungi and Plant Roots.
APPLY AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 40 DEGREES.
THE MORE ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI PROPAGULES/SPORES YOU CAN GET CLOSE TO THE PLANT ROOTS - THE BETTER THE COLONIZATION AND THE FASTER THE RESULTS
Below is a List of the Beneficial Factors that Result from the Symbiotic Relationship between EndoMycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Roots.
Increased Nitrogen (N) uptake
Increased Phosphorus (P) uptake
Can access organic forms of N and P
Increases uptake of a wide range of Minerals
Increases N fixation activity
High levels of enzyme activity benefiting nutrient and micronutrient acquisition
Improved performance of woody perennials
Increases fruiting and flowering
Improves plant performance in sandy soils
Improves performance of fruit trees
Increases crop yields
Improves growth and performance of turf grasses, agricultural crops and nursery stock
Improved plant establishment
Well adapted to a wide variety of plants and soil conditions
Increases production of vegetable crops
Improved growth of tropical and sub-tropical fruits
