Activate Mycorrhizal fungi Activate Mycorrhizal fungi


Mycorrhizal fungi play an important role regulating plant growth. These beneficial fungi form a symbiotic relationship with the plant’s roots. In exchange for simple sugars, the fungi pump phosphate and trace elements into the roots. Mycorrhizal fungi have also been shown to stimulate plant immune systems and new root activity.


BioStart Mycorrcin is powered by signal molecule technology. Mycorrcin contains a combination of fermentation extracts, enzymes and signal molecules to activate indigenous populations of beneficial soil microbes including mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrcin can be used to activate mycorrhizal fungi, remedy compaction, repair soil aggregate, increase calcium and phosphate uptake and increase brix.


Mycorrcin is recommended for Top fruit, Vegetables, Hydroponics, Container crops, Turf, Cereals, Pasture and Lucerne.

 

  • Activates mycorrhizal fungi
  • Improves soil structure
  • Increases calcium and phosphate uptake
  • Remedies compaction
  • Suppresses soil disease development
