BioAg VAM Endomycorrhizal Inoculant With Seven Fungal Species
This blend pairs seven endomycorrhizal fungi with humic acids, which act as a start-up food source. Rhizophagus intraradices leads at 104 propagules per gram, and six more species add 9 per gram each. The fungi are cultivated in vivo on live roots, not on an artificial medium. Once established, they form a symbiosis that widens the plant's access to water and nutrients. Immobile nutrients get the biggest lift, phosphorus above all. Applied fertilizer goes further as a result. Transplants benefit early, with faster establishment and better root development. Drought tolerance also improves, which can allow a cut in water use. Trees, vines, ornamentals, small fruits, vegetables, row crops, forage and pasture all fall within its range. OMRI listing keeps it open to organic programs.
How to Apply VAM Endo Mix to Roots, Seed and Soil
Placement decides the outcome, because the fungi work best applied directly to seeds or roots. Greenhouse and indoor propagators can use a root dip at 1 to 2 oz per gallon. For bulk media, blend in 1 to 2 lb per cubic yard. Field soils take 3 to 12 lb per acre, and it can go in-furrow or at planting. Seed treatment runs 1/4 to 1/3 lb per 100 lb of seed. Lawns and gardens need 2 to 4 oz per 1,000 sq ft. Small batches are easy to measure, since 1/4 tsp equals about 1 g. Run a jar test before any tank use, because this material does not dissolve. A local agronomist can set the right number of applications for each crop. Some whitish growth may appear in the pack, and it does not reduce efficacy. Keep the sealed pouch cool, dry and away from moisture.
