It appears that before there were plant roots, fungi maintained plant life. Today, fungi are still vital to balancing the ecosystem.
What Mycorrhiza Is
Mycorrhiza is a plant fungus. This fungus benefits plants and plants benefit this fungus. There are at least five known mycorrhizal fungi types, each with its own role to play in nature.
Plant Evolution
Plants moved from the ocean to land almost 400 million years ago. At that time, plants did not have roots. Fungi provided the crucial nutrients and water to these displaced plants. Plants eventually grew roots. Today, roots matter in the dynamics of mycorrhiza. Plants and fungi benefit each other. Some plants remain dependent on fungi to do well.
Benefits of Mycorrhizal to Roots
Fungi is crucial to keeping the entire ecological system in balance. Mycorrhizal facilitates increased nutrient uptake and phosphorous absorption. It creates a living rhizosphere, protects the roots from plant pathogens and prevents soil erosion.
Application of Mycorrhizal Fungi
Rootball dusting/coating is a popular way to apply mycorrhizal fungi. Applying mycorrhizal root powder is done when you are transferring a plant. One good application method is to wet the rootball and then sprinkle mycorrhizal root powder on it.
