Great work. Incredible.

[@lidalurlurano5681]

over 99% of endomycorrhizal species from healthy soils have not been successfully cultured outside the soil-living-root system. What those guys propagate most probably ectomycorrhizae - which associate with trees or an endomycorrhizal that associate with crops. Even if they grow a few endomycorrhizal specials - their so-called ''inoculum'' is a poor substitution for the rich diversity of healthy soil endomycorrhizal population and thus can only have a very limited effect and only in baren dirt devote of native mycorrhizae. They show no evidence that their ''inoculate'' colonizes the roots of crop plants and not just convey unrelated to colonization bio-stimulatory effects, more importantly, they did not demonstrate a comparison of plants growing in healthy soils with native endomycorrhizae and plants growing with their ''inoculant''.

What's is the solution ???

[@hudson8865]

Thank you.

VERY INTERESTING: "Doctored" peat pots could put bugs where and when they are needed.

[@brandonmusser3119]

Best way to combat that is to have as many solar panels in the ground as you can and when I say solar panels I mean green leaves

[@johnnyb4869]

How do u know that the plant has been inoculated

[@mattkavanaugh9550]

Does treated seed have an effect on mycrorizae?

[@rhb30001]

Can it help pass a failed land perc test?

[@amigobro1557]

What the professor told him to add? I heard that he put them in blender and pored them on plants but I couldn't hear what was that?

[@wesleycallison2079]

He was growing trees so he needed the fungi that associate with trees, ie. Mushrooms. He ground up those he found in the forest. You want a different kind of fungus to grow crops and vegetables called endo mychoriza which don't produce mushrooms. They are present in mostly uncultivated soils.

@@wesleycallison2079 thank you

[@brandonmusser3119]

We need more Reservoir in the soil

I am trying a Michael Rizal that is from the deserts of Israel they are hardier and aggressive

[@brandonmusser3119]

Permaculture can help with that

[@herranonym]

Flax is the most important plant for mykorrhiza
