"Mycor" - "rhiza" (fungus - root) defines the mutually beneficial relationship between the plant root and fungus. These specialized fungi colonize plant roots and extend far into the soil resource

Over 90% of the world's plant species form mycorrhizae and require the association for maximum performance in non-artificial conditions.

The Number of Spores Is Very Important. They Should Be Freshly Harvested To Ensure Rapid Colonization of the Root System. The Inoculant Will Get the Plant Established Faster and Reduce Transplant Stress.

The ectomycorrhiza is an association that takes place at the surface of the roots. Ectomycorrhizal fungi can reproduce themselves also in absence of a plant host. Endomycorrizal fungi penetrate into the root cortex and form arbuscules within the root cells. They only can reproduce themselves when in presence of a host plant. Endomyorrhizal fungi are also called AM Fungi (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal) or VAM Fungi (Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhyzal).

Given that the symbiosis is established, the lasting of the effects depends on the specific Crop Management System in place. As a general rule, the symbiosis takes place at an early stage and lasts for the life span of the plant.

No, such products enable the plant to form the mycorrhizal symbiosis, leading to improved uptake of nutrients. Fertilizers supply the nutrients to the soil in order to "feed" the plants. These are two disctinct functions.
