BioTabs Mycotrex 500 gr

Mycotrex
Mycotrex is a Mycorrhiza inoculum that contains a mixture of 9 different of mycorrhiza spores.
Available in 50, 100 and 500 gram tubs.
Potting soil must always be sterile and may not contain pathogens or weed seeds. For this reason, most
potting soil mixtures are steamed, which also kills the useful mycorrhizae and beneficial soil bacteria. The
absence of helpful bacteria makes crops very vulnerable. Mycorrhizae are beneficial soil fungi that coexist
in symbiosis with plants. They increase the effective root surface since they act like an extension of the
roots. This leads to an increase in the uptake capacity of the root system by 700%, which means the
plants can take-up water and nutrients much more easily. This is why it’s very important to add Mycotrex
to your potting soil.
Mycotrex is a mixture of 9 different types of mycorrhiza fungi, consisting of spores from the Glomus
claroideus, Glomus etunicatum, Glomus clarum, Glomus sp., Glomus microaggregatum, Glomus
intraradices, Glomus mosseae, Glomus geosporum and Entrophospora colombiana genus.
These spores, in combination, will germinate and colonise the root system. In this way, the so-called
vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae become established. This vastly increases the uptake capacity of the
root system. In addition, the gossamer-thin hyphae, penetrate far into the soil pores, allowing them to
convert & take-up, all the available nutrients, in quantities the plant needs.
Countless studies around the world have conclusively shown that plants with a good mycorrhiza system
have better growth with higher survival rates. They also take in more nutrients (e.g. phosphates and
silicon). Finally, these plants have a much improved water uptake and will retain the water for a longer
period of time.
Plants with a good mycorrhiza system are healthier and have better resistance against soil-borne
diseases. Useful Rhizobacteria and natural humic acids are also added to Mycotrex to promote the initial
root development.
