WHAT IS MYKE?

Mycorrhizea is a fungus that has a close relationship with plant roots. Mycorrhizal fungi colonizes the plant's root system and creates a network that increases the plant's capacity to absorb more water and nutrients such as phosphorus, copper and zinc. This process in turn enhances growth and favors rapid development of roots and plants.

 

BENEFITS OF MYKE

Ensure 2x faster establishment
Roots with mycorrhizae spread over the available space more rapidly thanks to their spectacular extension.

Reduce watering needs by 30%
Roots with mycorrhizae have more surface area to absorb water.

Increase survival by 75%
Roots with mycorrhizae have a greater capacity to absorb nutrients from the soil. Therefore, you get plants that are healthier, more vigorous, and more resistant to stress.

Increase phosphorus absorption to the detriment of blue-green algae
Up to 80% of phosphorus absorbed by plants is by mycorrhizae.

Improve soil structure and prevent erosion The root extension (filaments) provided by mycorrhizae holds soil particles together, which reduces erosion. Furthermore, by improving soil structure mycorrhizae allow better water penetration of about 25% , thus slowing down erosion and stabilizing the soil.

 

TYPES OF MYKE
There are two main types of mycorrhizae:

Endomycorrhizae associate with 80% of plants. 
Most deciduous trees and herbaceous plants

Ectomycorrhizae associate with 5 to 7% of plants. 
Most evergreen trees

 

HOW TO USE MYKE
