Class: Plant growth support

Activity: Restores depleted beneficial microorganisms in the soil.

· Composition

Mycormax contains spores of mycorrhizal fungi (Glomous intradices), colonized root fragments and other propagules in a clay-based carrier. The fungus penetrates plant roots to form mycorrhizae which enhance water and nutrient uptake, improves hormone production and provides resistance to diseases.

Although the fungus is generally available in the soil, it is depleted through continuous tillage, use of synthetic pesticides and fumigants, extended fallow periods and applications of fertilizers thus making restoration/replenishment necessary.

· Rates and Method of Application

Mycormax may be spread broadcast over a tilled field preplant, in planting holes or furrow incorporated or around the root areas of a growing plant. The recommended rate of use is 4kg/ha. The product may be applied as is or as a slurry in water. Such a slurr may be used as a drench or as a root dip at transplanting.

· Contradictions

Mycormax contains living organisms which may be destroyed by chemical pesticides. Do not apply in mix with or on surfaces which still has remnants of chemicals.

· Precautions

Mycormax does not have any serious toxicity issues. However, avoid ingestion.

· Storage

Store in a cool dry place at 250C and below.
