The miracle of mycorrhizal fungi: How can they help even in established orchards?

In a sprawling, stagnant orchard, you can also try to introduce Micorrhiza to the root to establish a mutually beneficial symbiosis. To do this, we need to know the following:

1️⃣ mycorrhizal fungi can grow into young hair roots and help each other

2️⃣ these fresh roots are placed at the edge of the root system, just as fresh leaves do not grow inside the canopy, but on its outer arch

3️⃣ the underground root is similar in size to the above-ground canopy, so if you want to get the micorrhiza down to the young roots, you can do it by drilling down the outer arch of the lobe

The more holes you drill along the edge of the foliage towards the roots and add the Micorrhiza, the more likely it is that the Micorrhiza fungus will meet the roots of your plant. The hyphal filament from the Mikorrhiza fungus spore will sense the root and will grow in that direction, but it can only "move" a few centimetres in that direction because that's how much nutrients and energy it has in the spore.

Once you have added the Micorrhiza to the holes, it is a good idea to water them well and pack them back with soil to prevent them from drying out.

You can use the MikoMax Garden/Gel micro-granulated product (360 grams and 10 kg), or the new Ino-Myc liquid mycorrhiza, also available in 0.5L!

If the relationship between the Mikorrhiza fungus and the cultivated plant is successful, they will support each other for a lifetime. The Micorrhiza can transport nutrients, water and information from far away to the plant, while the plant in return transfers ready-made nutrients such as sugars and amino acids to the fungus.
