Re: mycorrhizal innoculants

Hello,

Here is a company that claims that melons are benefited by mycorrhizal innoculants;
 

"What plants use mycorrhizal fungi?
Virtually all food plants and most ornamentals use Endo-type mycorrhizal fungi. A few types of plants use the Ecto-type, notably pines, oaks, and birches. A few extremely dependent plants are citrus, grapes, avocados, and bananas. Other types that benefit greatly are asparagus, roses, melons, tomatoes, peppers, and squash."

Has anyone tried them?

Tom:

Wasn't aware innoculants were available for cucurbits. I have only seen
innoculants advertised for legumes.

I would think that if the same symbiotic relationship between the bean plant
and innoculant would occur in cucurbits, it would be something to try. To my
knowledge, legume innoculants do not work on cucurbits.

Could you tell us who developed cucurbit innoculants and where a grower might
get them? Has test data confirmed positive results?
