Benefits of Mycorrhizae

Mycorrhizae: a fungus that grows in a symbiotic relationship with a plant’s roots.

Mycorrhizae increase the surface area of a plant’s roots.
The increased surface area of the roots aids in the absorption of nutrients and water that may not otherwise be available to the plant.
Or we may say… aid/help the plants roots to grow larger making it easier for them to find/absorb nutrients.
The result is a stronger plant that is better able to reduce/withstand stress.

Mycorrhizae may even aid in the protection of the host plant against harmful/unwanted pathogens.
May aid the plant in reaching its full genetic potential.
Mycorrhizae release enzymes into the soil helping to absorb “bound up” minerals, particularly organic forms making them more available to the plant.
Another way may be to say that mycorrhizae are effective in mobilizing nutrients in the soil (that may otherwise be unavailable to the plants).
Mycorrhizae play an important role in plant nutrition.
Mycorrhizae may lead to an increased tolerance to salt by the plant.

Bat guano has a high organic matter content which helps to retain moisture.
Has a high beneficial microbial activity which helps to resist pathogens and harmful organisms in the soil.
Contains, on average NPK levels of 7-3-1

Kelp contains over 70 vitamins, minerals, growth hormones, enzymes and proteins. These include auxins, gibberellins and cytokines.
Aids in building and supporting the plants natural immune system. This aids in its ability to resist disease, insects, frost and drought.
Boosts nutrient uptake through chelating of minerals.
Promotes seed germination.
Promotes cell division.

Enhances the efficiency of nitrogen acting as a denitrification inhibitor.
Improves the organic matter content of the soil, water holding capacity and soil aeration leading to better root development.
Contains a high degree of macro and micronutrients including nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, manganese and sulfur.
Promotes healthy microbial/microflora activity.
Where already present it may increase earthworm numbers and productivity significantly.

Magnesium is the primary nutrient involved in chlorophyll production which helps plants to grow fuller and produce more flowers.
Aids in the activation of plant enzymes and contributes to protein synthesis.

Molasses is a source of potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and minerals.
The carbohydrates and sugars nourish the microbes in the soil increasing overall microbial activity.
Aids in the production of flowers and fruit.
Molasses acts as a chelating agent making nutrients more available.

It is a naturally occurring clay containing calcium which is used in building cell wall structure. Calcium deficiencies result in distorted growth from improper cell wall formation.
Volcanic ash provides the same benefits of glacial rock dust for the plants and soil.
