VAM - Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza
 
                    VAM - Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza
Mode of Action :
Roots Colonization: VAM establishes a symbiotic relationship with plant roots by forming specialized structures
Nutrient & Moisture Uptake: The fungal hyphae extend into the soil, increasing the root surface area and facilitating the absorption of essential nutrients.
                                
Soil Health: The extensive fungal network binds with soil particles improving soil structure & water absorption.
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Hyphae increase the root's effective surface area, improving nutrient uptake from soil solutions.
Water Retention: Improved soil structure increases water-holding capacity within the root zone.
White Root Development: Promotes rapid root expansion with a special focus on white root development.
pH Maintenance: Helps maintain favorable pH levels in the root zone.
Enhanced Plant Resilience: Strengthens plant defenses to withstand dry conditions, reducing moisture stress.
Benefits :
Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: Improves macro and micronutrient absorption, reducing fertilizer dependency.
Improved Plant Growth & Yield: Promotes root development, leading to stronger and healthier
                                    plants.
                                
Increased Abiotic & Biotic Stress Tolerance: Helps plants access deep soil moisture,
                                    reducing water stress & Strengthens plant immunity against root pathogens and soil borne diseases.
                                
Better Soil Health: Increases soil fertility, microbial activity, and organic matter
                                    decomposition.
                                
Improved Root System: Encourages white root development, boosting overall plant health.
                                
Increased Productivity: Results in better crop yield and productivity.
                                
Flexible Application: Suitable for various crops and application methods, compatible with fertilizers.
                                
Eco-friendly: Non-toxic and easy to store, minimizing environmental impact.
