Anyone using any beneficial fungus spores on there plants? I think i posted this on a dead topic in the Superthrive. I got to thinking that if you only have 1 lone root left on a plant that needs help why not soak the root and soil in a mycorrizal fungus? The fungus works with the root or roots by enlarging the area of root nutrient intake. The mycelia allows use of the roots outside the depletion zone immediately surrounding the root(s). If you have a perfectly healthy plant use of Mycorrhizae probably wont be noticed..I have found a few articles generated from a grower in asia that stated in the early stages of growth Mycorrhizae systemic application proved beneficial in fighting disease and therefore was calling Mycorrhizal treatment as Innoculation..I have some phals with a lone root left from root rot and I have been treating the water and soil with Great White Premium Mycorrhizae.The leaves were wilting from dehydration bec the root could not pick up enough water up into the leaves. Might be my less than scientific approach but the one root has turned Fat and green with some sprouts...I dont see why this wont work on needy plants..Its expensive experiment though..40 bucks for a 4 oz jar of fungus spores
..
so take a look at this and see what you think of this stuff.
