Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) provide a large number of benefits to your soil and your plants.
You can now obtain fungal to bacterial ratio data with microBIOMETER®.
Thinking of using AMF or other fungal amendments? Use microBIOMETER® to ensure your amendments are working.
Some of the benefits of AMF include:
▪ Helps to provide better mineral nutrition for plants
▪ Plants in soil with high AMF grow faster and flower as much as 2 to 3 weeks earlier
▪ Increases the number of flowers, fruits and yield of crops
▪ Makes plants more resistant to disease
▪ Provides trace minerals plants require for good health
▪ Alleviates environmental stress by controlling what minerals are passed to the plant
▪ Heathy fungal content, especially AMF, helps reduce erosion
▪ Has the ability to make organic and other bound forms of phosphorus available to plants
▪ Increases root colonization which can increase yield as much as 23%
▪ Effective against root-knot, cyst and stunt nematodes
▪ Antagonistic toward a wide range of plant pathogens
