Bio Soil Vam

Mycorrhizae mobilises major nutrients for plants. It presents nitrogen in the correct form, mobilises phosphorous by up to 70 times and also harvests water when plants are unable to do so.

Mycorrhizae produce specific antibiotics which immobilise and kill soil borne pathogens.

Mode of action

A network of fungal filaments inside the roots and the surrounding Rhizosphere water and minerals from the soil are easily available resulting in a better nutritive equilibrium. These result in an increase in plant resistance to environmental stress such as drought, chilling and the detrimental effects of some root pathogens.

The interaction between plants and fungi creates a real symbiotic relationship and is advantageous to both the partners.

How to use VAM

In order to maximise the benefits of VAM (Mycorrhizae) for plant growth, health and yield, we recommend inoculation of all grains and seeds to be sown at the time of drilling.

The key to success is to mix VAM with the seed when sowing so that the mycorrhizae can begin forming their beneficial symbiotic relationship with the plant from the start of germination.
