Why Pro-Mix Connect Is Applied at Transplant
Contact is everything. A spore that lands two inches from a root never colonises it, so placement and timing decide whether an inoculant does anything at all. This one goes on at transplant, as a slurry the root ball is dipped into. That puts roughly 30,000 viable spores against the root system rather than scattered through the media.
Mixing a Mycorrhizae Powder Into a Slurry
The recipe is one to one. Mix one part powder to one part water into a homogeneous slurry, dip the rooted cutting, then transplant. Water temperature matters more than people expect: keep it below 25 C, 77 F, because warm water is hard on viable spores. Apply as soon as roots emerge, close to the main root system. Concentration is what separates this from a general mycorrhizae powder, at 6,000 viable spores per gram. It is OMRI listed for organic production, which matters on a certified site. This bag is 2.5 kg, or 5.5 lbs, and Premier Tech also packs it in 75 g and 250 g.
Key Features
- 6,000 viable spores per gram: Concentration is what decides whether colonisation happens fast enough.
- About 30,000 spores per cutting: Applied as a slurry dip, in direct contact with the root system.
- One part powder to one part water: Mix to a homogeneous slurry, dip the root ball, then transplant.
- Keep the water under 77 F: Warm water is hard on viable spores, so mix cool rather than tepid.
- OMRI listed: Cleared for organic production, which matters on a certified site.
- 2.5 kg bag: 5.5 lbs. Premier Tech also packs the same powder in 75 g and 250 g.
