Mycorrhizal Inoculant (Root Symbiont) | 1kg

Description

Mycorrhizal Inoculant (Root Symbiont) | 1kg is a biological soil amendment that contains beneficial fungi primarily arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) which form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. This relationship greatly enhances a plant’s ability to absorb water, nutrients (especially phosphorus), and improve root growth.

The 1kg pack is ideal for use in agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, nurseries, and greenhouse farming. It promotes stronger, more resilient plants with improved yield and stress resistance.

 Key Features & Benefits of Mycorrhizal Inoculant (Root Symbiont) | 1kg:

1. Contains Beneficial Fungi: Typically includes species like Glomus intraradices, Glomus mosseae, and others.
2. Improves Nutrient Uptake: Especially phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium, and micronutrients.
3. Enhances Root Development: Increases root surface area and soil exploration.
4. Boosts Plant Health & Yield: Results in faster growth, more robust crops, and higher productivity.
5. Reduces Need for Chemical Fertilizers.
6. Improves Soil Structure & Microbial Activity.
7. Enhances Drought & Stress Tolerance.

 Composition (May Vary by Brand)

• Live Spores of Mycorrhizal Fungi (100–300 propagules/gram)

• Carrier Material: Vermiculite, peat moss, or clay

• Optional Additives: Trichoderma spp., beneficial bacteria, or humic acids

 How Mycorrhizal Inoculant (Root Symbiont) | 1kg Works:

1. Colonization: After application, the mycorrhizal spores germinate and attach to plant roots.

2. Symbiosis: The fungi grow into the roots and extend far into the soil, forming a network of hyphae.

3. Nutrient Exchange: The fungi help absorb and transfer nutrients/water to the plant, while receiving carbohydrates from the plant in return.

4. Long-Term Soil Benefits: This mutualistic relationship improves soil health and crop performance over time.

 Application Guidelines:

• Seed Treatment: Mix 10–20g of inoculant per kg of seed before planting.

• Soil Drenching: Mix 5–10g per liter of water and apply near the root zone.

• Transplanting: Place 5–20g directly in planting holes or root zones of seedlings.

• Field Use: 2–5kg per hectare depending on soil quality and crop type.

• Compatible With: Most crops, especially vegetables, fruit trees, maize, rice, legumes, and ornamentals.

 Ideal Crops:

• Maize, Sorghum, Millet
• Tomato, Cabbage, Pepper
• Soybeans, Cowpea, Groundnuts
• Citrus, Mango, Pawpaw, Guava
• Oil Palm, Cocoa, Coconut
• Flowers & Ornamentals

 Storage & Shelf Life:

• Store in a cool, dry place (away from direct sunlight)

• Shelf life: Typically 12–24 months if properly stored

• Avoid mixing with fungicides that may harm beneficial fungi
