With the increase in world population and the global demand for food, as well as an accelerated interest in feedstocks and biofuel production, a change toward more sustainable biological farming methods are being adopted by farmers. Worldwide fertilizer costs over the past four years have increased dramatically and farmers may be finding themselves relying less on synthetic chemicals to grow crops. Mycorrhizal inoculation as a great solution to more efficiently use fertilizers in their soils. Farmers are finding that they can reduce their fertilizer and water costs up to 30% and increase their yields by inoculating with MycoApply®  Mycorrhizal inoculum.

For example, recent harvest results of a MycoApply® rice trial conducted by Lance Benson agronomist in side by side 75 acre blocks in the Sacramento Valley, showed that the MycoApply® treated field yielded 8% more grain than the control field- an extra $173 / acre and a ten-fold return over the cost of the Mycorrhizal inoculum. In a 2010 study in California, Barley Brew seed inoculated with MycoApply® Micronized Endo had a 29% increased yield compared to control areas.  MycoApply® inoculated plots averaged 7,778 pounds compared to 6,030 pounds in control areas.  The MycoApply® inoculated stand was at least 6 inches taller than control and brought in an extra $145 per acre.  In Wisconsin at Gagas Farms, Inc., soybeans  were inoculated with MycoApply® Liquid Endo. Yield was significantly increased in three replicated plots by over 9%.
