Does my soil contain mycorrhizal fungi?
Soils in natural settings are full of beneficial soil organisms including mycorrhizal fungi. Research indicates, however, many common practices can degrade the mycorrhizal potential of soil. Tillage, fertilization, removal of topsoil, erosion, site preparation, road and home construction, fumigation, invasion of non native plants, and leaving soils bare are some of the activities that reduce or eliminate these beneficial soil fungi. In many manmade landscapes we have reduced or eliminated the soil organisms necessary for plants to function without high levels of maintenance. Nursery grown plants available to landscape contractors are typically deficient in mycorrhizae. Plants raised in most nurseries receive intensive care and feeding. MYCO DRENCH conveniently and quickly ensure mycorrhiza for your plants to thrive upon planting into tough conditions.
