Mycorrhiza 500gm

Description

Mycorrhiza by OC Farms — Premium Mycorrhizal Biofertilizer, Boost Root Growth Naturally

OC Farms Mycorrhiza is a premium mycorrhizal biofertilizer containing beneficial fungal organisms that form a powerful symbiotic association with plant roots — improving nutrient and water absorption for healthier, stronger plant growth. One of nature’s most remarkable partnerships, mycorrhizal fungi extend the root system of your plants by up to 700 times — giving them access to water and nutrients far beyond what roots alone can reach. ISO certified, naturally derived, eco-friendly and free from synthetic chemicals.

What is Mycorrhiza? Mycorrhiza literally means “fungus root” in Greek. These are beneficial fungi that colonise plant roots and form a mutually beneficial partnership — the plant provides the fungus with sugars produced through photosynthesis, and in return the fungus dramatically extends the plant’s root network through microscopic threads called hyphae. These hyphae penetrate deep into the soil, unlocking phosphorus, water and micronutrients that roots alone simply cannot access. Over 90% of all plant species on earth naturally form mycorrhizal associations — it is one of the most fundamental and ancient partnerships in nature.

Key Benefits

• Improves nutrient uptake — especially phosphorus which is critical for root and flower development
• Enhances root development creating a far more extensive and effective root system
• Increases plant resistance to stress, drought and disease
• Enhances phosphorus uptake from soil
• Improves soil microbial activity for a healthier soil ecosystem
• Promotes a strong root system for better anchorage and nutrient access
• Helps improve drought resistance by extending water-absorbing capacity of roots
• Reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers over time
• Naturally derived, eco-friendly and no synthetic chemicals
• ISO certified by OC International Pvt. Ltd.

How To Use

For Plants and Pots:

• Mix 5-10 grams per plant directly in the root zone
• Apply at the time of transplanting or repotting for best results
• Place mycorrhiza powder directly in contact with roots when planting
• Water well after application

For Agriculture:

• Apply 2-4 kg per acre mixed with compost or soil
• Mix thoroughly into the root zone area before planting
• Or apply as a seed treatment — dust seeds with mycorrhiza powder before sowing

For Trees:

• Use 20-50 grams per plant at the planting stage
• Place directly in the planting hole in contact with roots
• Cover with soil and water thoroughly

Dosage Guide

Pro Tip — For Maximum Effectiveness Mycorrhiza must come into direct contact with plant roots to colonise effectively. For best results apply directly in the planting hole touching the roots — not on top of the soil after planting. Also avoid applying chemical fungicides for at least 4-6 weeks after mycorrhiza application as they can kill the beneficial fungi.

Important — What to Avoid After Application

• Do not apply chemical fungicides — they kill mycorrhizal fungi
• Avoid excessive phosphorus fertilizers immediately after application — high phosphorus reduces mycorrhizal colonisation
• Do not overwater immediately after application

Suitable For

• Vegetables — tomatoes, chillies, brinjal, beans, cucumbers
• Fruit trees — mango, guava, lemon, papaya, pomegranate
• Flowering plants — roses, hibiscus, marigold, jasmine
• Indoor plants — pothos, fiddle leaf fig, snake plant
• Seedlings and saplings at transplanting stage
• Lawn and turf establishment
• Agricultural crops — wheat, rice, sugarcane, cotton

Storage Instructions

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture
• Best before 12 months from date of manufacture

Frequently Asked Questions

How does mycorrhiza improve phosphorus uptake? Phosphorus is one of the least mobile nutrients in soil — it barely moves even when you water. Mycorrhizal hyphae extend deep into the soil and mine phosphorus from areas roots cannot reach, then transport it directly to the plant. This is why mycorrhizal plants consistently show better phosphorus nutrition than untreated plants even in phosphorus-poor soils.

How quickly will mycorrhiza colonise my plant roots? Colonisation begins within 3-7 days of application when roots and mycorrhiza are in direct contact. You will typically start seeing improved growth and vigour within 3-4 weeks as the fungal network establishes itself.

Can I use mycorrhiza on all plants? Most plants form mycorrhizal associations naturally — over 90% of plant species benefit. The main exceptions are plants from the Brassica family (cabbage, mustard, radish) which do not form mycorrhizal associations. All other common vegetables, fruits, flowers and trees respond excellently.

Will mycorrhiza work in pots and containers? Yes — in fact potted plants often show the most dramatic response to mycorrhiza because their roots are confined and have limited access to soil nutrients. Mycorrhiza dramatically expands their effective foraging range within the pot.

Can I use mycorrhiza with chemical fertilizers? Yes but with caution — avoid high phosphorus fertilizers immediately after application as excess phosphorus suppresses mycorrhizal colonisation. Once established after 4-6 weeks the mycorrhizal network is more resilient to fertilizer applications.

How is mycorrhiza different from other biofertilizers like Bio-Booster? Bio-Booster contains free-living soil bacteria that improve general nutrient availability. Mycorrhiza forms a direct physical connection with plant roots creating a permanent extension of the root system. They work in completely different ways and complement each other perfectly — use both for maximum results.
