Mycorrhizal Applications 101

[@RealEstateInsider247]

This video is right. Soil health is of critical importance (I don't know if this product is any good). The commercial fertilizers and pesticides kill the mycorrhizal, bacteria, and fungi needed for the soil to stay alive (soil food web). The mycorrhizal has been killed off by ag industry practices (as well as the other life in the soil), not just from compaction and construction zones. If the soil has the right micro-organisms and organic matter, you don't need fertilizer or harsh chemical pesticides. I know that mycorrhizal fungi is a key ingredient but you also need a complete SOIL FOOD WEB. And this cannot be accomplished with "conventional" farm practices (poisonous chemicals and tilling the soil). Mycorrhizal and plant roots live symbiotically. In other words, they work together with enzymes so that the roots can absorb nutrients from the soil. They are not a part of the plant but they work with the plant. Without soil health, foods grown will be lacking in nutrition and soil will become dirt (no life in the soil). When you have lifeless dirt, the ag industry becomes dependent on fertilizers and pesticides and the downward spiral continues. Also, SIGNIFICANTLY LESS WATER IS CONSUMED with a proper soil food web. SO FOR GOODNESS SAKE, please stop tilling (no-till saves tons of water and erodes life in the soil), and stop poisoning the soil (killing the life in the soil) and make your soil alive again. This is entirely possible.

What is here now is NOT from nature. It's made in a lab and synthesized into nature. Biofuel will forever change the genetic code of the earth. You do not want to know what is being done to the human body with Nanocarbon tubes. You are eating and breathing this. Science is the new artisan and evolution is now synthetic.

RealEstateInsider247 I till my soil but I add fungi covered horse muck and myco fungi to my plant's and seeds at plant out. I use tilling to evenly spread plant food deep into the soil for crops like carrots where fingerings will happen if to much feed is high in the soil.

[@Kentnomore]

How much to put micorrhizea in a medium size pot for home gardening?

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

For sure no till and composting is the way to go

[@cosmaslunyembeleka251]

This is the best video I have seen in 2023 from you tube. The only problem is where to buy the seeds of these organism so that we introduce them to our soil. #Don't be selfish.

[@antalpur]

You can buy propagules.. Google mykos from extreme gardening

[@hhattingh]

Thank you for the good work you guys do. I am so excited about this!

[@dasafe8558]

btw 8 years later and we are now 8 Billion

[@supershenron9162]

But I do use mycorrhiza in my organic cannabis grow, and it does make a LARGE diffrence Is it breaks down certain nutrients that the plants can't absorb on their own and allows them to absorb said nutrients

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

It really is good stuff. I didn't water any in this year and I can already see things are slightly smaller and less luscious. Getting some in there next watering, for sure. Better late than never.

[@5thelementcannabisproduction]

Takes more than 6 weeks for it to do anything .. Don't waste your money, use it from day 1 next crop @@Kholaslittlespot1

[@michaelcrabtree7113]

Can you use it in the 2nd year of application? Does it work the same as the 1st year?

[@JesusSoonComing]

It was very informative until you started claiming to know what happened billions of years ago. Why can't people just stick to what they know, and stop speculating what happened so long ago, that at it becomes unreasonable to know...?

[@Loozpatienz]

It should be noted that the fungi also prepped the land for the plants to inhabit by breaking the rocks into smaller bits

[@MalinaImport]

i was gonna write something similar. it was fungi that took in chlorophyll and became lichens that first crawled onto land, setting the stage over many years by degrading rock into simpler forms, from which plants could then start to grow on

[@sinhnguyen4815]

A plant whose roots can grow to such proportion with micorhizals (at different rates, speeds, strengths) compared to without micorhizals should be grown into different proportions for the body, branches, fruits, or plans of growing in general.

[@raulbautista9304]

is this available in the philippines and how much?

[@michelbisson6645]

What kind of of myco are there many varieties?

[@5thelementcannabisproduction]

What I wanna know is , since it takes 6-8 weeks for the Mycor to wake up and populate the root system , and start doing something . Can you pre start the culture feeding it "sugar water" to speed up its colonization of the roots you eventually apply it to ?

[@bisdakpinoy3428]

Does red wigglers or nightcrawlers eat up mycorrhizae fungi?

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

suporta tabang nope

[@NguyenThanh-im8kp]

I would like to test the appearance of mycorrhizae in the soil invitro. Could you tell me how to isolate and what medium growing mycorrhizae in vitro ?

[@swananddeshmukh9839]

You can isolate from soil by the wet seiving method followed by sucrose centrifugation. Unfortunately there are no simple method s available for in vitro growth of Mycorrhiza, but you can try the aeroponic, Sand culture, root transformation technique for getting the pure Mycorrhiza culture. But all the technique are expensive and time consuming.

Interesting, this company is where many of smaller brands like plant success get their myco from. Lol

[@mohamedakhilkhan3926]

I jat started with this project with AM - fungi 😍😘😘

[@gsmscrazycanuck9814]

Twenty eight seconds in and I already have something to say...lol. On what we produce right now we can feed 9.8 billion people. Yes we do need to get nutrients to crops, but we need to produce nutrient dense crops. A food that is twice as nutritious can feed twice as many people. Yield at all cost isn't sustainable.

[@pinkinside2]

exactly what I was thinking.. we don't need more food.. we need healthier food.

[@HolmgaardProduction]

Good point!

[@borisy19]

Why do we want to feed Africans who just keep making more Africans that we keep having to feed? The African evolutionary strategy seems to pretty clearly require high mortality rates to maintain balance. So why are people who are supposedly so concerned with the health of the planet and overpopulation etc. maintaining the growth of those who will do the most damage?

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

Boris Y why just African it same all over the world reproducing needs to slow down too many people consuming like no tomorrow.

What type of plant roots are used here to have the mycorrhizal fungi multiply??????

"Experts believe by the year 2030, the population will hit 8 billion". Well, no

Fungi brings the fun guy to the party 🥳 anyone know if this is similar stuff to em1 effective microorganisms ?

[@aliensource884]

Em1 is a probiotic that are microorganisms. Microbes multiply and create enzymes and die feeding your rhizosphere in return for sugars. They can leave nutrients that are easily water soluble and ready to uptake through your roots. Different than mycorrhizae, but similar. Mycorrhizae creates a symbiotic relationship with your roots attaching and webbing throughout exchanging nutrients for sugars from your plant.

[@latinpapie]

Amazing video!

[@drewhjc]

If the fungus is taking sugar from the plant, will that make your fruit yields less sweet?

[@vindir9693]

Nope

[@sonnymery4193]

your fruit will yield less sweet if you don't have these fungi in your soil

[@wmluna381]

I stretch out / amend my container soil with dirt and composted matter from under leaf litter. I do see / grab that white feathery / fungusy stuff in the soil and attached to buried sticks and branches. I go to an old boy Scout park across the street from my home that has a good mix of hardwoods in their more forestry parts next to a lake/wetlands. Based on tree girth sizes and online calculators, the bigger trees land at anywhere from at least 100-200 years old. The areas I go are a ways from foot traffic. I don't know if that does any good to start with (I'm assuming it certainly can't hurt), but if it does help, does adding additional organic fertilizer I bought at the store (Jobe's 3-5-4 for annuals/perennials) at point later in the spring and summer season be not helpful in any way? If the myco I've obtained does help, should I strictly tick with things like home compost tea 'drippings' and things like organic blood and bone meal (which I also have) so as not to hurt it? My home compost bins consist of (2) 5-gallon buckets which are started with old soil, the usual food scraps, a little leaf litter and dirt from the same park, yeast, raw honey, and a couple of earthworms I obtain after a rain. Then I continual layering in things/material with no mixing until it's completely filled. I don't want to mix it because I'm a little lazy and figure the worms will do the heavy lifting on that count. 😉 I water the buckets myself when there's no rain to do it. When I do, I collect the 'drippings' from the bottom and water my plants with it. The buckets sit on rocks on top of shallow open containers. The buckets themselves have 1/4" drilled holes half way down the sides all around and at the very bottom. A lid is affixed with an added hole in the middle that accommodates a rolled piece of 1/4" wire hardware cloth ziptied at appx. 2-3 inches wide. This acts as an air tube which goes straight down to the bottom and sticks out the lid some. I contain the gnats and bugs by covering the bottom an top with 1-gallon paint strainer which act as a netting of sorts. I mention all these details because the compost material is just sitting in a completely closed up environment, which some people tend to assume for some reason. I live in an apartment and try to grow things / food in the best, low-cost ways I feasibly can at the moment. Thanks in advance for any insight.

It is mushrooms.
