    MycoBloom Mycorrhizal inocula
    MycoBloom’s easy to use diverse granular mycorrhizal inocula was scientifically formulated by plant-fungal botanists with nursery and field experience. This mycorrhizae helps build strong roots and increase plant access to nutrients for faster growth and healthier plants. Our primary mycorrhizal mixture includes an essential array of seven high-quality endomycorrhizal strains not found in any other products including
    Claroideoglomus claroideum
    (formerly
    Glomus claroideum
    ),
    Funneliformus mosseae
    (formerly
    Glomus mosseae
    ),
    Cetraspora pellucida, Claroideoglomus lamellosum,
    Acaulospora
    spinosa,
    Racocetra
    fulgida
    and
    Entrophospora infrequens
    . MycoBloom’s fungi were originally isolated from pristine prairies in the Midwest. They were chosen for the ability to promote plant growth, nutrient acquisition, and provide tolerance to drought and herbivory stress.

    For maximum benefit
    Do not use this product in conjunction with fungicides or high fertilization, especially with phosphorus, as these can harm mycorrhizae.
    Usage
    See our application suggestions on the right for proper usage. Our application suggestions were derived from years of experience in native plant restoration and organic growing.  We have identified several application methods that do not work with mycorrhizal applications. Broadcasting,
    overseeding
    , and soil drench applications are not recommended because they leave inocula on the soil surface where it can dry and be solarized by the sun. Seed coating and seed ball application methods are not recommended as mycorrhizal spores are quite large for microorganisms and are unlikely to stick well to seeds.
    Terms of Use
