What is it?
Mycorrhizae are live organisms that coat plant roots protecting them from disease and increasing the uptake and storage of the nutrients and water in a symbiotic relationship. We have found that our plants grow faster, stronger, and healthier when combined with our nutrients!
This product may help prevent root rot and keep plants producing longer.
Usage
We recommend adding 1 tablespoon per gallon each time you add water and nutrients to your tower.
For faster germination from seeds, you may add a pinch of powder in the middle of each rockwool cube and place the seeds over them. This allows the Mychoohizae to coat the roots from the get-go!
Note: This is the correct "wettable powder" (dissolvable) needed for your hydroponics system. This is not the granular version which is not suitable for hydroponic applications.
From the manufacturer
MYKOS is a fast-growing, beneficial fungus that increases nutrient and water uptake by forming a symbiotic relationship with the roots of a plant. MYKOS is needed to break down, cycle, and retain nutrients as well as provide a front line of defense against environmental stresses, pathogens, and diseases. MYKOS will continue to grow with your plants becoming an extension of the roots and administering better efficiency and sustainability. With a larger and healthier root system, plants are given the opportunity to increase crop yields and secondary metabolites.
MYKOS works fast and creates strong roots in 95% of common plants. MYKOS is a single species of Endo-mycorrhizal fungi, Rhizophagus intraradices, eliminating any type of root competition. Why only Endo-mycorrhizae?
Ecto-mycorrhizae has no beneficial effect on vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs.
MYKOS helps new plantings reduce transplant shock by stimulating new root growth. MYKOS forms hyphae that increase the root mass resulting in more absorption of nutrients and moisture. The fungal network can transport nutrients over large distances and deliver them directly into the root cell. Plants supply MYKOS with energy in the form of carbohydrates that are produced during photosynthesis. Individual plants can become connected with other plants through this mycorrhizal network, sharing nutrients, sugars, and water as well as attracting more soil microbes.
MYKOS protects your plants against drought & heat stress. As well as keeping harmful pathogens from making root contact. MYKOS can also improve the soil structure both in clay soil and sandy soil. MYKOS also helps break down organic compounds and convert them into plant available plant food.
