The researchers were looking at nitrogen release and uptake and native plant performance in porous granite subsoils with and without inoculation with MycoApply®.
Figure 3 on page 90 illustrates the significant increase in root and shoot biomass with MycoApply® inoculation. Shoot biomass was tripled.
Figure 4 on page 91 illustrates the significant increase in root and shoot Nitrogen content. Total nitrogen in shoots was roughly 5 times higher in MycoApply® treated plants.
Figure 5 on page 91 illustrates close relationship between nitrogen content and grass performance in these porous soils over time. Again the MycoApply inoculated plants are way above the non-inoculated plants.
Under less than ideal soil conditions the mycorrhizal relationship makes a huge difference in terms of nitrogen nutrition, shoot and root growth. This has big implications for limiting off-site movement of nitrogen and getting plants established in rigorous field conditions. More...
