VAM - Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza
VAM - Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza
Mode of Action :
Infection of Roots: Mycorrhiza (VAM) species fungal cells colonize plant roots, forming a symbiotic relationship
Nutrient Mobilization: VAM fungi extend hyphal networks that access nutrients, mobilizing them from distant areas within the rhizosphere.
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Hyphae increase the root's effective surface area, improving nutrient uptake from soil solutions.
Soil Aggregation: Fungal hyphae aid in soil aggregation around roots, enhancing soil structure.
Water Retention: Improved soil structure increases water-holding capacity within the root zone.
White Root Development: Stimulates growth of white roots, crucial for better nutrient uptake.
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 :
Plant Growth and Establishment: Promotes stronger, more vigorous plant establishment and growth.
Soil Health: Enhances soil aggregation and improves water retention, making the soil more suitable for plant development.
Efficient Nutrient Use: Facilitates mobilization and absorption of nutrients, reducing fertilizer requirements.
Drought Resistance: Increases plant resilience to drought and dry periods.
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.
