Why should everyone use mycorrhizae?
Around 95% of plant species benefit from mycorrhizae. There are two different types of mycorrhizae, endo and ecto. Root Naturally Mycorrhizae is Endo Mycorrhizae which is the type that is beneficial to over 80% of plant species including most leafy green plants and vegetables.
Mycorrhizae is a fungi that has a beneficial relationship with a plants roots. When Mycorrhizal fungi comes into contact with a plants roots it begins to colonize, or multiply, on the roots and begins to spread out into the surrounding soil. These strands of mycorrhizal fungi effectively become an extension of the roots and can increase the absorbtion area of a plants root system by 10 to 1,000 times. This allows the root system a more efficient intake of nutrients and water. Below is a list of the benefits enjoyed using mycorrhizae.
Benefits Include:
Reduces Drought Stress
Reduces Watering
Reduces Transplant Shock
Increases Yields
Increases Overall Plant Hardiness
Promotes Rooting
Promotes Nutrient Uptake

Great for vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers
Mykos works fast and creates strong roots in 90% of common plants
Description
Unleash the power of your soil with mykos natural root promoter. Mycorrhizae have been shown to increase the availability of nutrients and moisture required for plant growth, while improving soil structure. Mykos provides a biological connection between roots and nutrients present in the soil. Mykos has been used to break the last 9 world-records for plant growth, including a 2,058 lb. Pumpkin in 2014! Pure, fresh, & alive; mykos is a fast-growing, beneficial fungi that connects many of the beneficial microbes in the soil to host plants. This "symbiotic" relationship increases the supply of nutrients to plants, increasing the availability of both moisture and most of the fundamental elements required for plant growth. This greater nutrient availability leads to a bounty of healthier, bigger plants! Mykos helps just start new planting by reducing transplant shock and by stimulating root growth. Mykos forms a bridge (hyphae) between roots and the nutrients in the soil. It protects against drought and is helpful in in improving soil structure both in clay soil and sandy soil. Use in fruits, vegetables & flowers! Mykos pure mycorrhiza inoculant can squeeze every last drop out of your garden soil and not just survive in hot weather they can thrive! applied to the roots at the time of planting or bored down into the root zone of existing plants creates a sponge-like mass around the root system that helps roots pull up more nutrients and water!

Promotes rooting, nutrient uptake, self sufficient plants
Easy to use water soluble formula
100,000 propagules/lb. - 4 species endo mycorrhizae
Description
Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic associations with over 90% of the world's plant species. They are particularly effective for agricultural plants that have high water and nutritional needs. Mycorrhizal fungi make nutrients available to growing plants, absorb water, retard disease, and condition soil. Research has documented improved plant nutrient and water uptake and resistance to a wide range of soil diseases and environmental extremes. Plants establish and yield more abundantly and require less intensive care. Over 50,000 University studies have highlighted the benefits of mycorrhizal colonization on the health and yield of plants. What is Mycorrhizae? "Mycor" - "rhiza" literally means "fungus" - "root" and defines the mutually benefiial relationship between the plant and root fungus. These specialized fungi colonize plant roots and extent far into the soil. Mycorrhizal fungal filaments in the soil are truly extensions of root systems and are more effective in nutrient and water absorption than the roots themsleves. More than 90% of plant species in natural areas form a symbiotic relationship with the beneficial mycorrhizal fungi. Why Mycorrihizae? Mycorrhizae can improve the soil structure, stimulate root growth, and feed the plant. Fertilizers cannot improve soil structure, prevent root disease, or absorb and store water. Fertilizers also result in water pollution, excess salt in the soil, and worsened soil stucture. Without mycorrhizae, plants will become dependent on fertilizers for survival and will not tolerate enviromental stresses well. Shipped US Postal Service.10.
