Advantages of mycorrhizal plants

• Additional water and nutrients are delivered to the plants. Owing to mycorrhizal hyphal system the absorbing capacity of roots grows up by 1000 times. Besides, water and nutrients absorption as well as their utilization efficiency are increased due to the extension of the rooted soil volume.
• Water and fertilizer savings (mineral fertilizer, primarily phosphate) can reach up to 50%.
• Quicker growth of plants, considerably increased biomass, better plant quality. Higher yields and quality in agriculture, vegetable-, fruit growing and nursery forests.
• Due to optimal nourishment mycorrhizal plants build a strong immune system. Powerful immune system helps plants to be better able to tolerate diseases and other pest infestation.
• Higher crop capacity and shortening of the vegetation period.
• Lessening of the transplant shock and mortality rates.
• Luxuriant florescence and prolongation of the blooming period.
• Taste improvement.
• Enhanced fragrance. An important aspect for spicy plants, medicinal plants and herbs.
• Stress factors, as for example drought, water shortage, solar radiation, nutrient deficiency are considerably better overcome by mycorrhizal plants.
• Improved establishment of inoculated seedlings.
• Improved and quicker planting of greenery in revegetated areas.
• Better and quicker lawn grass upgrowth.
• Optimized exchange in the Legumes-Rhizobia symbiosis and higher nitrogen fixation rates.
• Increased plant health and resistance against soil-born pathogens.
• Enhanced tolerance against abiotic stresses caused by higher heavy metals and salts concentrations in the ground.
• Higher stability of soil aggregates (ø 2-4mm) due to effect of glomalin (glycoprotein extracted by VAM-fungi) with positive long-term benefits for soil fertility.
