New offer of mycorrhizas for 2012:

Mycorrhizas for home gardening: they are prepared as water – hydrogel suspension of living fungal bodies (mycelium) for immediate use. The detailed instructions of application are given on boxes of given inoculum. We strongly recommend use of bottle just after opening but if it impossible please store open bottle not longer than two weeks in temperature between +1 and +10 centigrade. We guarantee that in 1 ml of our inocula there are at least 100 propagation units (fragments of living mycelium)

Mycorrhizas for home gardens

Conifers – mycelium for whole group of gymnosperms including all conifers (Coniferae) and Ginkgo. Inoculum consists of ectomycorhhizas isolated from roots of Polish conifer trees and mycelium of widely known forest fungi as: Amanita muscaria, Boletus edulis, Suillus luteus, Suillus grevillei, Lactarius deliciosus and others depending on current option of finding good mycorrhizas. From results of many studies and practical applications can be concluded that coniferous trees which were mycorrhized in nursery showed higher establishment ratio comparing to nurseries where seedling are not inoculated by mycorrhizas. Also better health status because of resistance to fungal diseases was found what together with better plant supply in water and nutrients (phosphorus, iron and micronutrients) also good appearance and good pattern of growth resulted from application of mycorrizas. Fruit bodies of edible mushrooms can be additional bonus when they appeared under pines, spruces or larches.

Rhododendrons and other members of heather family – inoculum for these plants contains isolates from roots of heather plants as well as rhododendrons found in Carpatian Mountains. There are some fungi from genera Oidiodendron and Hymenoscyphus sp. which are able to create so called ericodal mycorrhizas (ERM). This fungi in case of heather family are absolutely necessary for normal development of plants in their environment. It is worth to mention that typical for heather family is lack of hairy roots which play an essential role in water supplying in higher plants. If there is lack of mycorrhizas heather plants are unable to grow and many times it leads to dying out. Therefore the effects of mycorrhizas applications are more pronounced on neglected heather plants. Our inoculum was thoroughly tested at the Institute of Pomology and Floriculture in Skierniewice for effectiveness in growth promoting as well for resistance against pathogenic fungi as for example Phythophthora sp. It was found the supporting of plant resistance is one of most important results of artificial mycorrhization.

Highbush blueberry – plant from heather family classified to orchard plants. Their fruit are known as tasty but also they have unique properties in human nutrition. Because of their botanical properties they do not have hair roots and therefore they are susceptible for absence of mycorrhizal fungi. Our inocula contain tested fungi and it is supplemented by new isolates including mycorrhizas collected beyond Arctic Cycle (from Norway). The predominant fungi are Hymenoscyphus sp. which are typical for genus Vaccinium. Mycorrhized blueberry plants give fruit of better quality and quantity and mycorrhized bushes are stronger, have bright green colour and they are more resistant to root diseases and what is very interested that also their leaves are ore resistant to pathogens because of some modifications of their wax layer.

Grapevine – mycorrhizal mycelia were isolated from wild grown plants in Croatia as well from Polish plants created probably the first ectomycorrhizal inocula for grapevine. Contrary to earlier information grapevine shows a very good response for fungal inoculation. It was indicated by high fruit yield, increase of sugars, polyphenols and antocyjanes contents. Ectomycorrizas create a protection barrier against root pathogen (Phytophora, Armillaria). For vineyards located in southern Europe very important can be increasing of plant resistance to draught.

Fruit trees – thie inoculum contains izolates from wild grown fruit trees and other tree from rose family (apple, pear, sweet cherry, hawthorn, rowan etc.) and forest fungi as: Xerocomus chrysanteron, Boletus edulis and others. Effects of mycorrhization are similar to effects found in case of other fruiting plants i.e. yield increase and better resistance against fungal diseases.

Roses – rose plants almost always have normal endomycorrhizas but also in that case we could find specific ectomycorrhizas. Thanks to them roses are able to grow better and bloom longer they show better branching and have better health status. Who wants to have wonderful rose garden should give them our mycorrhiza which cannot be replaced by any fertilizer.

Pot plants, garden flowers, vegetables – in this inoculum there are mainly endomycorrhizas. There is the most universal inoculum in our offer.

Orchids – mycorrhizal inoculum for pot grown orchids of type of typu Phalenopsis, Dendrobium and others. It contains living mycelium isolated from tropical species and as a helper Rhizoctonia solani. It is prepared as hydrogel with suspension of mycelium for direct application just cut off the top and squeeze the content to roots of orchids just after watering. Inoculum can be added to water but than this water cannot be stored. One box contains inoculum for 20 pots.

Grasses – as most of green not woody plants they live in symbiosis with endomycorrhizas. Our inoculum contains fungi from genera Glomus and Gigaspora. Observed result of its application is wonderful, dense lawn resistant to summer draught what is a dream of each lawn owner. Desirable results can be achieved only when mycorrhiza is applied according to given instruction.

All inocula in this case are delivered as concentrates for preparing working liquids before application (recipe for making working solution is here)


How to prepare mycorrhizal inoculum?

1. To bucket pour so much water as it mentioned on bottle with concentrate.
2. Add enclosed hydrogel (white powder) and mix.
3. After gel swallowing (after ca. 1 hour) pour concentrate to the bucket.
4. Solution has to mixed thoroughly if flocculation is observed use kitchen blender (no longer than 1 min) and than apply.
5. In the case of problems call number +48502236128.

Because of biological limitations and production capacity only few of professional inocula will be sold. In most of cases we offer professional inocula only with service of inoclation on site made by Mr Jerzy Nieswadba (tel. +48500 031 733). The composition of inocula is identical with respective inoculum or home gardens. But in the case o inoclum or poplar and willow are available only in version for professionals and in case of inocula for blueberry and grapevine inocula or professionals will be supplemented by helper bacteria which increase resistance of plants against root pathogens as for example FYTOBAK®. For application in urban park we are ready to sell improved inocula for horse chestnut trees which can limit population of horse-chestnut leaf miner to the accepted level.

Willow is a species which responses to mycorrhizal inoculation is a strong and fast. Prepared at our company professional inocula contain isolates from willow roots growing at different locations but best originate from Białowieża Primeval Forest. Inocula are supplemented by addition of fungi from Basidiomycetes family which usually have symbiosis with willow root systems. Their application result in high increase of biomass yield between 50 and 200% therefore if fungi are not applied it is unprofitable.

Poplar as willow needs mycorrhizas what can be seen as known symbiosis with Leccinum aurantiacum. Poplar inocula contain isolates from Polish locations including Białowieża Primeval Forest. Our experiment under conditions of soil draught in Andalusia (south Spain) showed that poplar responses to mycorrhizal inoculation in a very positive way. More information about poplar at our Website.

Truffles since the last year we have been developing inocula contained living mycelium of truffles. We are able according to given order prepare inocula contained any composition of four following species: Tuber aestivum, Tuber magnatum, Tuber uncinatum and Tuber melanosporum. We have been preparing seedling of Turkish hazelnuts trees mycorrhized a the nursery; orders soon can be made at Website WWW.truffletree.pl

Broadleaved trees – inocula for these species can be ordered only together with service. They contain specific isolates from the most important forest trees and edible mushrooms.

Horse chestnut – series of experiments done in 2006 in Poznań let us introduce fungi which show high effectiveness in terms of improving water and nutrients supply together with limitations of harmful effectrs of horse-chestnut leaf miner. Mycorrhization does not pose any side negative effects contrary to application of pesticides.

Endomycorrizas – grasses, annual and perennial species;
others – for individual orders.

The minimal order 10 litres of suspension of living mycelium. Price 500 PLN lus delivery cost., 8% VAT. Prepayment in the case of agreed order has to paid on our account.
