Mycorrhizal Funghi. Endo & Ecto. Root & Soil Innoculant.

Dr Forest’s Endo and Ecto Mycorrhizal Fungi form a remarkable symbiotic partnership with plant roots, dramatically extending the root system to access water and nutrients far beyond the plant’s own reach. In exchange for a small share of the plant’s sugars, these beneficial fungi deliver a host of advantages: growth rates can double or more, plants gain superior drought tolerance, improved resistance to soil-borne pathogens, better tolerance of heavy metals and salinity, and enhanced overall resilience in challenging conditions. Unlike ordinary potting composts, fallow fields or nursery stock raised on chemical fertilisers and fungicides, natural soils that have not been sterilised or repeatedly treated usually still harbour these essential mycorrhizal fungi – but modern growing practices often leave plants without them.

Contains: A balanced blend of Endo- and Ecto-mycorrhizae suitable for the vast majority of garden and landscape plants.

Key benefits • Greatly improves transplant survival rates and reduces plant loss • Accelerates growth rates of nursery stock, young trees and transplanted specimens • Significantly reduces the need for fertiliser, fungicide and irrigation water • Increases natural vigour, health and longevity of the plant • Enhances drought tolerance and resistance to environmental stress • Improves disease and pest resistance by boosting plant immunity • Promotes better nutrient uptake, especially phosphorus, even in poor or depleted soils • Helps restore soil biology and long-term soil health • Encourages stronger, more fibrous root systems

APPLICATION RATE & DIRECTIONS Potted plants – Apply 1 gm of Mycorrhizal Fungi per litre of rootball volume.

1. Dust the powder lightly and evenly over the root ball, or
2. Mix Mycorrhizal Fungi with water to create a slurry and drench the root ball, or
3. Place the granules in the bottom of the planting pit or mix thoroughly with the backfill that will come into direct contact with feeder roots.

Cuttings – Lightly moisten the base of the cutting and dip directly into the powder before planting.

Seeds – Mix with the seeds at a rate of 300 grams per 750 square metres of area to be seeded, or dust lightly into the seed drill.

FOR BEST RESULTS Mycorrhizae enable plants to establish quickly even in poor-quality soil, yet the very best performance is achieved when transplanting into soil that is rich in organic matter. If applying fertiliser, use only a low dose of slow-release, preferably organic fertiliser with low phosphate content – high phosphate levels can suppress mycorrhizal development. Once established, mycorrhizal plants require far less feeding. Healthier plants are naturally more resistant to disease. Should fungicide treatment ever be necessary, please refer to our fungicide compatibility advice sheet. Most herbicides and insecticides that are safe for the plant itself do not interfere with mycorrhizal development.
