It is prepared from spores of beneficial fungi, in particular, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). These fungi occur in soil and can form symbiotic relationships with many plant roots.
Benefits
Improved Nutrient Uptake
The mycorrhizal fungi in the inoculant provides a mutualistic aspect to plant. They facilitate more efficient uptake of these nutrients including phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium by plants. This in return provides the fungi with sugars and carbohydrates.
Enhanced Water Retention
The hyphae formed by the fungi of the inoculant enlarge the surface area of the root system and thus a better process of water absorption. This method is especially effective in areas that are frequently affected by drought and it allows downsizing of water requirement.
Disease Suppression
Mycorrhizal fungi can even act as a barrier against the pathogens in soil. They can suppress diseases such as root rot, fusarium wilt, and damping-off hence the plants become to be more resistant and healthy.
