Prof Bożenna Borkowska (Institute of Fruit-Growing and Floriculture in Skierniewice) points out a significant correlation between mycorrhization and the method of fertilization in nurseries.
Mycorrhizated plants (particularly newly mycorrhizated ones) should receive limited amounts of fertilizers, since mycorrhizal fungous spawn significantly increases their absorption. Moreover, the proportion of ingredients is important, the perfect one is 3:1:2 NPK. Reducing the amount of fertilizer is obligatory for balanced growth of plants and fungi.
Consequently, mycorrhization is a way of cutting costs.
