What Does Mycorrhiza Do for the Crop?
Mycorrhiza is a root partner. The fungus extends the root system into the surrounding soil, so the plant reaches nutrients and water that bare roots cannot.
Key benefits
- Improves root hair formation, helping plants absorb more water and nutrients
- Improves phosphorus, nitrogen and sulfur uptake from the soil
- Strengthens roots and improves resistance to drought and stress
- Helps plants resist soil-borne diseases by strengthening their natural defence

How to Choose a Mycorrhiza Product
Judge a mycorrhiza brand on three things: the IP (infective propagules) per gram printed on the pack, the FCO licence number, and the cost per acre at the recommended dose. Compare cost per acre, not cost per kg. Use as per label.
