In addition to direct and indirect effects on nutrient and water uptake, VAM fungi can also increase plant resistance to root pathogens. In exchange for the nutrients taken up, the fungus receives carbohydrates from the host plant to sustain its growth.
VAM will be active only near the roots of the plants. It can be used by applying on the roots, through nursery grow bags or by mixing in compost. It can be spread throughout the farming area by mixing it when the seeds are put in the granary, or through the roots while re-planting from the grow bags.
Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) is formed by the symbiotic association between certain phycomycetous fungi and angiosperm roots. The fungus colonizes the root cortex forming a mycelial network and characteristic vesicles (bladder-like structures) and arbuscules (branched finger-like hyphae).
VAM is considered a bio-fertilizer as it has the capability of fixating phosphates present in the soil.
Mix 5 kg. VAM with vermi compost (500 kg.) or any Organic Manure & apply uniformly to all plants near the roots. Irrigate the feild to.
