Mycorrhiza Mycorrhiza, derived from the Greek words "mycos" (meaning fungus) and "rhiza" (meaning root), represents an extraordinary symbiotic relationship between specific fungi and the roots of most plants. This ancient association, spanning millions of years, holds paramount importance for the growth and survival of both interconnected partners. One of the fascinating aspects of mycorrhiza lies in its diverse types, each characterized by unique features. Among these types, "Ectomycorrhiza" stands out as a mycorrhizal association where fungal hyphae form a dense external sheath that envelops the plant root tips. This particular type thrives primarily in trees such as pines, oaks, and birches, adding to the wonder of this symbiotic bond. Stay tuned to explore more intriguing types and delve deeper into the marvels of mycorrhiza in the upcoming sections. Mechanism of Action It solubilizes Phosphate in soil, helps in root development and nutrient transfer. Mycorrhiza also helps in growth of crops. Benefits 1. increase the level of potassium in the crop. 2. increase the yield of the crop. 3. improve the soil fertility. 4. improve the plant stability in different environmental condition. 5. increase the micro nutrients level in the soil. Dose For Soil Application : Add 250 Gm of bio fertilizer at 1 acre of land through drip irrigation or drench the soil at proper moisture of land. Seed Treatment/Seed Dressing : Use 10ml of KMB per 100ml of water or mix it with 20gm sugar/jaggery for 1kg of seeds. After being uniformly wet shake them gently to form uniform layer of culture coating. Then dry the seeds in shade for 20-25 minutes.
