Understanding and Using Mycorrhizae, An army of little helpers (Part 2)

As more knowledge is gained on how plants really work, it is very clear that conventional focus on just soil chemistry and NPK fertilizers has an array of problems such as costs, drinking water contamination and soil degradation to name a few. Planting soil is an ecosystem that exists with a balanced relationship between its inhabitants, many of which are microscopic, like bacteria, fungi and nutrients. Others are larger like roots and earthworms.

    Increased amounts of mycorrhizae actually help the entire ecosystem so that smaller amounts of nutrients/fertilizers are necessary. It allows these fertilizers to go further because they are ingested more completely by the roots and into the plant for proper growth. This means cost savings on feedings with fertilizer, both in agricultural and ornamental plant life. A mycorrhizal plant has on average of between 70-100% higher nutrient uptake ability than a plant lacking or with no beneficial fungi.
 
    Because less NPK fertilizers are used, this means less leeching into drinking water tables and irrigation run off, less contamination to drinking water tables. It also means less watering is necessary due to the fact that mycorrhizae aid it bringing increased moisture content to roots by breaking up soils.

    Adding mycorrhizae fungi spores to lawns, seeded crops, soils and mediums is like adding an army of allies to your plant. If you are planting in less than perfect soils, extremely dependant plants such as melons, citrus or grapes, just to name a few, the addition of these spores can be extremely dramatic, like feast vs. famine for your plants.

    Depicted here, we see some of the visual results of what mycorrhizae will do for a plant. It is almost spiteful to see how neglected the plant to the left is in appearance, both plants were cared for in the same manner, the only variance is that the plant on the left was not introduced to mycorrhizae. As a plant lover, would be cruel to neglect plants, not to introduce mycorrhizae to them.

    Other great positive contributions provided by mycorrhizae are increased resistance to stress, great for marketing of landscape plants. Less potential need for pest control due to healthier plant systems, higher transplant success ratios due to stronger root systems, the list goes on and on.

 Here is another example of a mycorrhizae plant and another lacking in beneficial fungus who again were both grown under the same care program, the left again without mycorrhizae.

It is clear to see that when mycorrhizae are at work, the plant grows better. You name it, if it has roots and grows, it would benefit from an army of mycorrhizae helping it to be the plant that it had always dreamed of being. The perfect lawn, prefect flower or vegetable garden, or the perfect herb garden. Mycorrhizae are Mother Nature’s little helpers. They were born to be with your plants, to make them strong and make them bountiful.
