Learn the Secret to Transform Your Soil

If mycorrhizal fungi can do all of this, then why aren’t more farmers benefiting from them? Good question. An even better question is, how can you put mycorrhizae to work? You must feed mycorrhizae.

Normally, fungi do best in wooded areas, where they can feed on fallen trees. But in the absence of trees, what food source is there for them?

When God created the world, He established the basis for a complex relationship between plants and soil. The potential has always been there—we have the opportunity to learn how to work with it.

In this plant/soil relationship, the plant manufactures sugars to feed the micro-organisms in the soil. In turn, these organisms create a wonderful growing environment for the plant.

It is the sugars manufactured through photosynthesis that are the perfect food for mycorrhizae—and the only way they will ever truly thrive in farm soil.

Other Things Mycorrhizae Need

You can buy a mycorrhizal fungi inoculant, but these fungi require certain conditions to thrive in the soil. They need:

1. A pH close to neutral.
2. Low salt content.
3. A balance of soil nutrients.
4. Oxygenated soil.
5. Minimal chemical load in the soil.
6. A continuing source of food.

MycorrPlus has been carefully formulated to create every condition needed for mycorrhizae to thrive. Learn more about transforming your soil and mycorrhizal fungi research from the USDA Agricultural Research Service. It contains 70+ strains of aerobic bacteria that:

• Remediate salts.
• Balance soil nutrients.
• Help neutralize soil pH through nutrient balance.
• Flocculate the soil by supplying needed oxygen.
• Break down chemical residues in the soil.

MycorrPlus (my-core-plus) is a food source that helps to establish our microbes in the soil. Once this happens, they work hard to transform the soil.

Cooperating with Nature

The strength of MycorrPlus is that it creates the conditions in the soil needed for mycorrhizal fungi and aerobic bacteria to thrive. It sends a strong signal to the plant: if you sequester sugars into the soil, the microbes will supply you with a wonderful array of nutrients.

Without sequestration, mycorrhizae will not thrive. With it, they create a complex fungal organism in the soil that can change everything.

For instance, we had three customers experiencing severe drought who reported that their plants remained green and growing despite very little rain.

These farmers had one thing in common—they used MycorrPlus to get mycorrhizal fungi functioning in their soil. The bacteria in the soil used the residue of the sequestered sugars as gums and glues to bind soil particles together.

This process highly structured their soil, filling it with air pockets. When it rained, water soaked into these pockets and was stored; when things became dry, these farmers still had good moisture.

Mycorrhizae Benefits

When you get mycorrhizae working for you, everything in the soil improves. Mycorrhizae create a highway in the soil—they carry sugars from the roots to feed soil bacteria and fungi. As the bacteria digest calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients, the mycorrhizal hyphae transport them up to the plant. They also transport moisture stored deep in the soil.

One specialty of mycorrhizae is their ability to transport phosphorus—a nutrient normally immobile in the soil. With carbon sequestration kicked into high gear and mycorrhizae filling the soil, far less phosphorus or potassium is needed.

Balancing Soil pH

The bacteria in MycorrPlus help bring balance to soil nutrients, including hydrogen. In many cases, potential hydrogen (pH) will come into balance without the need for additional lime or sulfur. Give MycorrPlus a few months and see if your pH improves.

Now you know the secret to being able to transform your soil!
