Mycorrhiza
Enhanced Nature drives the future of bionutrition, harnessing the power of concentrated mycorrhiza fungi – to the benefit of American farmers and growers. We call it ”Nature, Enhanced.

What is
mycorrhiza?

The term “myco” means “fungus” and “rhiza” means “root,” referring to the symbiotic relationship between plants and root fungi. Mycorrhizal fungi colonize plant roots and spread deep into the soil, acting as an extension of the root system. These fungi are even more efficient at absorbing nutrients and water than the roots themselves. Around 95% of plant species globally form this beneficial partnership with mycorrhizal fungi.
Mycorrhiza is a symbiosis between plants and root fungi.
The fungi enhance water and nutrient absorption.
95% of plants form partnerships with mycorrhizal fungi.

How it works

(01)

Root Connection

Mycorrhiza fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. The fungi attach to the roots, extending their reach deeper into the soil, allowing plants to access more nutrients than they could on their own.

(02)

Nutrient Exchange

The fungi act as an extension of the plant’s root system, drawing in essential nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, and water. In return, the plant provides the fungi with carbohydrates from photosynthesis, creating a mutually beneficial exchange.

Soil Health Boost

By improving nutrient uptake, mycorrhiza enhances plant growth and overall soil structure. The fungi’s network helps retain moisture and promotes better soil aeration, leading to healthier plants and more resilient ecosystems.
