Growing healthy plants starts with healthy, biologically active soil with thriving populations of beneficial soil microbes (bacteria and fungi, including mycorrhizal fungi).
Healthy, biologically active soil supports plant health by increasing root activity and nutrient uptake, improving soil structure and stimulating plant immunity through the Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR) pathway.
Mycorrcin is a biostimulant that stimulates populations of beneficial soil microbes for healthier, more biologically active soil that supports plant growth.
Use Mycorrcin to:
- Stimulate new root activity
- Activate mycorrhizal fungi association
- Improve soil structure
- Increase calcium and phosphate uptake
- Remedy compaction (by repairing soil aggregate formation)
- Suppress soil disease development
- Improve fruit quality and flavour
Mycorrcin is recommended for a wide range of crops and growing operations including grapes, top fruit, vegetables, turf, cereals, pasture, lucerne, hydroponics, container crops and composting.
It’s also easy to use alongside your current system. Mycorrcin can be tank mixed with herbicides, fertigation nutrients and suspension fertiliser, and be applied through fertigation systems and through overhead irrigation systems (when fitted with an appropriate system).
Mycorrcin continues to be one of Biostart’s most popular products. Whether used to support plant health at key stages (like bud break or fruit set) or more consistently to improve overall soil health, Mycorrcin works by stimulating life in the soil in support of your biological farming goals.
Directions for use:
- Apply Mycorrcin to activate soil microbial activity in time with key crop stages such as at planting, at bud break, at fruit set or at fruit colour development
- Apply Mycorrcin directly on to soil
- Mycorrcin needs soil moisture/rain and active soil biology
- For low organic matter and/or low fertility soils apply Mycorrcin regularly in smaller amounts through a fertigation or irrigation system
- For best results avoid applying Mycorrcinin the heat of the day.
