PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae
PRO-MIX?« HP MYCORRHIZAE?Ö is a high porosity peat-based growing medium ideal for water sensitive crops, rooting cutting and/or low-light growing conditions that contains a beneficial mycorrhizal inoculum (Glomus intraradices). These microscopic fungi attach to and colonize root systems to benefit plants by increasing water and nutrients acquisition (especially Phosphorus, Copper and Zinc). This symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant results in overall improved plant growth. PRO-MIX HP MYCORRHIZAE?Ö is suitable for a wide variety of horticultural plants, especially when high air capacity and extra drainage are required.
Chemical Characteristics
PRO-MIX?« HP MYCORRHIZAE?Ö contains a balanced nutrient charge to promote initial plant development. During the course of crop production, it is necessary to initiate a fertilization program. The program selected should consider water nutrient content, crop type and stage of plant development. Begin fertilization within 7 days after planting and maintain fertilizer applications throughout the course of crop production. To insure plants receive proper nutrition, it is advisable to periodically analyze nutrient content of fertilizer solution, growing media and plant tissue to insure proper levels of nutrients are maintained throughout the crop cycle.
