What is Mycorrhizae and the benefits?

WHAT ARE MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI?


Mycorrhizae (it means fungus root) are a group of about 400 fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plants. 

They live in or on the roots, extend their hyphae into the soil and make phosphate, nitrogen other nutrients and water available to the host plant. 

MYCORRHIZA THROUGH A MICROSCOPE
They extend the effective root area many hundreds of times so plants grow faster, larger and stronger with less fertiliser and water.


THE BENEFITS:

Mycorrhizal Fungi or Mycorrhizae have many many benefits. They work in a symbiotic relationship with plant, tree and vegetable roots: 

  • Massively Increases growth rate of plants, improving fruit, vegetable yields and blossoms
  • Can double the rate of growth in new plants
  • Increases the root's surface area, increasing water and nutrient uptake
  • Improves resistance to drought stress in dry conditions
  • Easy to use, applied directly to the roots or seed before planting
  • Less than half the price per plant of competing mycorrhizal products
