Images of Mycorrhizal Effects

Photos in this gallery are designed to show the benefits of using mycorrhizal based products. Most pictures are comparison shots showing plants with and without mycorrhizae (Here's a HINT: The mycorrhizal plants are ALWAYS bigger!!)

Check back with this page regularly to find articles, research papers, and other interesting documents related to bio based growing, gardening, and mycorrhizal fungi.

Columns 1 and 3 have been inoculated with mycorrhizae. Columns 2 and 4 have not. Mycorrhizae can improve transplant success by over 30%.

Arbuscular (Endomycorrhizal) vesicles stained as shown inside a root fragment

The pepper plant on the left was inoculated with mycorrhizae. Both plants were subjected to drought conditions. As shown, the mycorrhizal plant shows resistance to drought.

Massive root system of pin seedling inoculated with ectomycorrizae.

Lavender plants. Plants on the right were inoculated with mycorrhizae.

Grape plants on the right were inoculated with mycorrhizae.

Redwood seedlings treated with (plant on the right) and not treated (plant on left) with mycorrhizae.

Palm plants without (left) and with (right) mycorrhizae.

The mycorrhizosphere illustration shows the impact mycorrhizae has on a plant's root system
