Available Phosphorous and Mycorrhizal Inoculation:

High levels of Available Phosphorus (at the time of inoculation) do not harm the mycorrhizae, but it can slow the germination process. One of the main functions of mycorrhizae is to extract phosphorus from the soil. If there is already a high level of phosphorus available to the plant the mycorrhizae tend be more slow or lazy, so to speak, they have no reason to go to work. When inoculating with Mycorrhizae it is best to keep the Available Phosphorus levels around a more natural level. You can increase those levels 3 weeks or so after inoculation without an effect on the mycorrhizae if needed, but remember the mycorrhizae should now be helping you plant more effectively and efficiently use those nutrients already in the soil.

Some Good Rules of Thumb for Avaialble Phosphorus when Inoculating:

  • Bray: 70 PPM (parts per million) available is ideal
  • N-P-K analysis of 10 or below normally preferred on “P”
  • Time release and organic fertilizers normally the best
  • Add mycorrhizae allow 3 weeks or more to germinate then apply fertilizers with high P values

Erosion Control & Restoration Tools and Tips

Granulars can be used in hydroseeding but the Micronized Powder disperses better in water and covers the seed and area being treated most efficiently.

Keeping material agitated during applications is recommended.

Forestry Tools and Tips

Apply early in the growth cycle, after sowing and prior to germination, when fertility levels are still low.

Late in the growth cycle, when seedlings are hardened off, or fertility inputs are decreased.

At the last watering for container plants to promote mycorrhizal formation in the field environment.

For Irrigation Systems:

Pre-wet growth medium

Apply the spores

Add additional water to leach spores into root zone.

Avoid fungicides with PCNB or Benlate. Avoid higher analysis, quick release fertilizers.

Mycorrhizal fungi are generally not harmed by herbicides, nematicides or insecticides.

Hydroponics Tools / Tips

  • Mix mycorrhizae directly with soil-less media or add directly to nutrient solution.
  • Maintain Ph between 5.5 – 7.5 for best results.
  • Maintain P at less than 70ppm available.
  • Use mycorrhizal inoculums that contain multiples species for the best response.
  • Use aeration in the system, or ebb and flow, as these organisms are aerobic.
  • Once plants are effectively colonized fertility can be reduced 30%.
  • Best results are obtained with multiple applications throughout the growth cycle.
  • After flowering has begun your mycelial network should already be establish and there is no reason to continue the applications of Mycorrhizal fungi.
