RHIZO-VAM BASIC
- Natural mycorrhiza product for establishing beneficial, plant growth promoting arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis with plant roots
- Ready to use product; arbuscular mycorrhizal spores and propagules are inside and on surface of non- soluble granules of broken, expanded porous clay
- Contains high quality selected mycorrhizal fungus Rhizoglomus intraradices
- Guaranteed >10.000 spores / L, usually 35.000 spores / L and >100.000 Infective Mycorrhizal Propagules / L
- Absolutely non-harmful and environmentally friendly
- Authorized in ecological farming by FibL, Germany
The carrier for infective units of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizoglomus intraradices is broken expanded porous clay (photo above and below, left). Spores of the fungus (photo below, right) are formed in pores of the expanded clay where they can survive more than 7 years. The carrier is 2-4 mm in size, not water soluble, 300-450 g/L weight, flowable, easy to measure.

SOME RESULTS of application of RHIZO-VAM BASIC to crops
At transplanting of strawberries to the field, 5-10 ml RHIZO-VAM BASIC are applied in the planting hole. Strawberries inoculated (left) grow much better and have bigger root volume than non-inoculated plants (right). Earlier and higher yields are the results.
Onion bulbs grown in soilless mixture (peat/vermiculite/perlite) and treated (left picture, left; right picture, right) or not (the other) treated with RHIZO-VAM BASIC inoculum (after 3 weeks of inoculation). the soilless mixture was mixed with 5% (v/v) of RHIZO-VAM BASIC granules. Similar increase in root and plant growth was obtained with cucumber and tomato.
Potatoes
Left row was not inoculated; right row was inoculated with RHIZO-VAM BASIC. Higher yields and bigger tubers as results.
