MYCORYX

MODE OF ACTION

• The active ingredient is Rhizophagus irregularis, supplied in wettable powder formulation with 70 spores per gram. These fungal spores act as AMF propagules that establish a rhizosphere colonization process shortly after application.
• In contrast to more traditional fertilizers, which only provide nutrients, the Mycorrhiza fertilizer colonize the rhizome space and form extensive networks of hypha in the surrounding rhizosphere, which tend to be much more efficient in subterranean water and nutrient uptake, and enhancing the health of the plants.
• Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) attack the rhizome of crops using three main sources: spores, colonized fragments of roots and hyphae of a vegetative stage. To result in successful colonization, the propagules need to exist in the planting substrate and be applied into close proximity to the rhizospheres that are actively developing.
• Root tips cause root exudates to release, chemical signals, upon penetration into the substrate, leading to colonization of fungi and formation of a symbiotic relationship. It is an autotrophic relationship once it has been achieved. The fungal mycelium develops in tandem with the continuously growing root system, growing more and more mycelia and spores, expanding the symbiotic network of the growing medium.
• Nonetheless, the farming techniques of today, such as intensive tillage, fumigation, erosion, and compaction have the grave consequence of causing tremendous population decline in these useful fungi resulting in decreased diversity of soil microbes and poor plant functioning.
• Reintroduction of MYCORYX can help to regain the natural balance of the soil microbiome, advance soil structure, improve nutrient cycling and promote future sustainable fertility.

INSTRUCTION

Dosage & Method

Propagation of MYCORYX  may be used either on the substrate before a plant is planted or in sowing. Instead, they can be used as a foliar application and then watered in, which enables the propagules to be dispersed by a porous growing medium and effective contact to be made with crops roots.

• For Soil drench or drip irrigation, apply 500 grams per acre at planting (in-furrow),  The spores establish rhizome colonization early in the crop cycle, and one application generally supports the entire planting season.
• For Incorporation into growing media, mix 500 grams per cubic meter growing media when propagation for seedling trays and plugs, Even distribution within the root zone ensures optimal fungal colonization and strong mycelial network development.
• For Transplant:  dilute 20 grams per 1 liters of water, stir vigorously until well mixed. Dip bare-root whips into solution for few seconds before planting. Transplant into soil or media, backfill with soil and water plant, mycorrhizal inoculant must make contact with plant root system. If dipped offsite, keep roots covered with plastic during transport, 100 gram product will treat 220 bare root trees and up to 2000 seedlings.
• For Hydroponic:  Mix 1 gram per 1 liter of water. Stir vigorously until well mixed. Apply to reservoir weekly throughout the crops cycle.

Do You Need Them?

Undisturbed territories are rich of beneficial microorganisms including endotrophic mycorrhiza. Research indicates, however, many common practices can degrade the mycorrhizae-forming potential of territories. Tillage, removal of topsoil, erosion, site preparation, compaction, fumigation, invasion of weeds, and leaving soils fallow are some of the activities that can reduce or eliminate these soil mycorrhizal fungi. Scientific studies indicate mycorrhizal powder product populations are slow to recolonize naturally, therefore, reintroducing endotrophic mycorrhiza in areas where they have been lost or in artificial growing media can dramatically improve plant performance with less water and fertilizer and at a reduced cost.

Who can benefit from MYCORYX mycorrhizal Fungi product

• This biological (“biorational”) technology delivers sustainable benefits to every sector that depends on farmland health, plant productivity, and people. These symbiotic diaspidid have been relied upon over decades in effective reforestation and ecosystem restoration initiatives, being crucial for creating healthy and operative soils.
• MYCORYX are natural symbionts of plants, in the agricultural sector, aiding sustainable crop production, and improving plant performance, even in severe environments such as drought, saline and degraded farmland.
  Incorporating mycorrhiza fertilizer into the businesses of the professional horticulturists, such as greenhouse and nursery growers, is also beneficial. In this way, they are capable of making them stronger, more vigorous and resilient, which are best used in retail markets and landscape uses.
• Landscape architects, installers, and maintenance workers have been utilizing mycorrhizal inoculant in transplanting and sustainable landscape design for at least the last couple of decades.  Even homeowners who are planting gardens and/or caring for their lawns and landscapes can now utilize this technology, as more and more mycorrhiza fertilizer retail products are showing up on shelves in garden centers.
