Usually, people wouldn’t think of a fungus as being something good to expose their plant to. However, root associations with mycorrhizal fungi are apparently benefical to them because their mycelium has a tendency to increase the overall absorption rate of the root system that comes out of their end side. Simply growing this kind of fungus on a plant’s root can help to extract extra nutrients from the ground while simultaneously protecting against some of the worst types of diseases.
That’s according to a new report entitled Dynomyco: Revolutionizing Plant Growth with Mycorrhizal Fungi, which was authored by a group of individuals connected with an Israeli botanical research institute. Researchers from this organization have found that there are a number of mycorrhizal fungi combinations that actually act in symbiosis with the plants that they grow on. To some degree, they also consume resources that might otherwise have been used up by outsider invaders. In doing so, they help to dramatically reduce the risk of infection.
Since the spores that propagate these fungi can be easily distributed in the form of a root powder, it’s easy to add it to almost any growth system. All a gardener needs to do is take out the powder and place it into the soil or substrate that their plants are growing in. This should prove especially useful in situations where the threat of infection seems to be increasing over time.
