Hi Dr. Mike,
… I watched the program on Modern Marvels and have since decided that we are now using and specifying mycorrhizae for all plantings except wetland tubers on all of our projects. We’ve been using it for our nusery mixes and for out-plantings of other grower’s container plants, but now we will be incorporating it in all of our seeding and hydroseeding projects as well. I do hope that you guys keep up the good work and we all will keep spreading the word.

| Our last experiment involved growing different plants, both in monoculture and co-existing with other species, in the presence of ambient AMF, your commercial AMF and no AMF. Plants were grown for 12 weeks in the greenhouse in soil from a re-vegetation project on Highway 70 north of Davis. All the plants that were inoculated with AMF had a high percent colonization (50-75%). In addition, plants grown with your inoculum or ambient AMF, for the most part, had the highest plant biomass when compared to no AMF. The only exception was Bromus hordeicous, an annual weed, which had the highest plant biomass with no AMF. Otherwise, depending on the plant and whether it was grown in monoculture or with another plant, sometimes your inoculum produced the highest plant biomass and sometimes ambient AMF produced the highest biomass. When I’m finished writing the report, I’ll be sure and send you a copy.Ryan O’Dell, a co-worker in the lab, always had some very positive results with your inoculum, compared to zero AMF, and is in the process of writing up those results. So…we very much appreciate having a reliable source of commercial AMF.Vicki Klaassen Ph.D Plant and Environmental Sciences, UCD Davis, CA |
