Does anyone know if using an endomycorrhizal innoculant does any good for
pumpkin growing? I was just doing some reading on this. Supposedly tilling,
spading, digging, and any use of chemical fertilizers, (ALL of which are done
for AG growing to a large extent), can deplete or wipe out the fungi, with in
supposedly beneficial to the roots of almost all plants, greatly increasing
their ability to take up nutrients, and the mycorrhizal root threads (hyphae)
loosen and open up the soil structure, which further improves plant growth.
Just thought this might have something to it that no one had brought up
before. Anyone know anything about this?!
