Unique products with MYCORRHIZAE symbiotic root natural solution growth alliance perfomance effective Beneficial alliance Mycorrhizae form a network of filaments that associate with plant roots and draw nutrients from the soil that the root system would not be able to access otherwise. This fungus-plant alliance stimulates plant growth and accelerates root development. Mycorrhizal fungi are naturally found in some types of soil. However, in soil that has been altered by human activity, the quantity of mycorrhizae decreases drastically so that there are not enough of them to produce a significant benefit on plant growth and health. For the effects of these microscopic fungi to be seen, there must be the right quantity and the right type at the right place. Luckily, there is a natural and effective solution that can provide nature with everything it needs to thrive and blossom. Use products with mycorrhizae to get exponential growth. Mycorrhizae advantages Roots with mycorrhizae develop root extensions (filaments) and have a greater capacity to absorb nutrients and water from the growing medium or soil.

Spraying product into containers or soil Remove filters and use nozzles with a minimum of 1/25 in (1 mm) openings to avoid clogging. Remove surface debris to ensure the mycorrhizae will penetrate into media or soil. It is preferable to premoisten before spraying. Avoid over-watering immediately after product application to prevent any leaching. Apply diluted product to root system, or to media and soil surface around active root area, according to the Spraying product onto growing media Media should be at room temperature to avoid temperature shock at application. Ensure even distribution for optimum homogeneity. This diluted product can treat 3 m 3 (4 y 3 ). Bare root material For fine and abundant roots: use 1 bag per 6.6 US gallons of water (500 g per 25 litres). For coarse and thick roots: use 1 bag per 3 US gallons of water (500 g per 11 litres). Dip bundles of root material into the tank: ensure roots are covered with slurry. Once plants are treated, do not allow root material to dry out and plant as soon as possible. The product will deposit in the bottom of the tank without agitation.

Recommended fertilization Fertilizer application rates, especially phosphorus, can be reduced with the use of mycorrhizae. In fact, mycorrhizae enhance phosphorus absorption in soil, even under unfavourable ph conditions. It is recommended to reduce, by one quarter, the rate normally used. Fertilizers and pesticides should not be mixed with the inoculant. Slow-release fertilizers: no restrictions. Soluble fertilizers: avoid high-phosphorus soluble fertilizers (e.g.: 10-52-10). It is recommended to use a fertilizer not exceeding 25 ppm phosphorus in solution during the five weeks of growth after inoculation. Field applied fertilizers: do not apply over 1.5 kg P 2 0 5 /100 m 2 (3 lb P 2 0 5 /1 000 ft 2 ). Pesticide use MYKE PRO is compatible with most insecticides, herbicides and fungicides.
