Re: Cold weather & pests
List
As what I have learned from my Arboriculture study information from the ISA
(International Society of Arboriculture) pertaining to Endomycorrhizal fungi
is and its been a while since I read on the subject so please forgive me if I
am a little off, was
that Mycorrhizal fungi is present in nature and it only helps the plant... In
one article it stated that the root system of plants and trees would have to
be in excess of a thousand times larger (if Mycorrhizal fungi was not
present) to absorb the nutrients that the Mycorrhizal fungi breaks down and
makes available to the plant. It attaches itself to the roots and there is
different types for different plants so that may be the reason that if you
add it for a palm tree that it may not help a AG. Now just saying it is
present does not mean it is in sufficient amounts to see a huge difference in
the plants growth but I do believe it is supposed to be present..
There are several complete fertilizers that offer Mycorrhizal fungi as an
additive to the fert like iron and sulfur sometimes are.
I have a bunch of industry magazines with articles on Mycorrhizal fungi I
am just too darn lazy to break them out....
Well, that's my two cents anyone else have anything to
add ???????
