Plant Revolution: Premium mycorrhizal products for optimal growth

Growing healthy, robust plants depends largely on the health of the root system. One of the most effective ways to improve this health is through the use of mycorrhizae , beneficial fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots.

That is why today, from Grow Industry, an online store for cultivation products, we will explain the benefits of mycorrhizae and we will see how Plant Revolution products can transform your garden or crop into an explosion of vitality and productivity.

Plant Revolution offers a range of mycorrhizal and beneficial bacteria products that are ideal for any type of growing, whether in soil, coco or hydroponic systems. From germination to harvest, these products are designed to maximise nutrient uptake and improve the overall health of your plants.

Below is a detailed guide on what mycorrhizae are, when to apply them and how to use Plant Revolution products for best results.

What are mycorrhizae and what is their function?

Mycorrhizae are fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots . This beneficial association improves water and nutrient uptake by plants, resulting in more vigorous growth and increased resistance to disease and environmental stress. Mycorrhizae are mainly divided into two types: endomycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizae . Endomycorrhizae penetrate inside the root cells, while ectomycorrhizae form a network around the roots.

The main function of mycorrhizae is to expand the absorption zone of the roots. They form a network of filaments that extend beyond the reach of the plant roots, allowing access to more water and nutrients in the soil. In addition, mycorrhizae help protect roots against soil pathogens and improve soil structure by creating aggregates that allow for better aeration and water retention.

Another key advantage of mycorrhizae is their ability to improve stress resistance . Mycorrhizal plants are more resistant to adverse conditions such as drought, soil salinity, and the presence of heavy metals. This is because mycorrhizae improve resource use efficiency and strengthen the plant's immune system.

When should mycorrhiza be applied?

Mycorrhizae can be applied at various stages of plant growth to maximize their benefits . They are ideally used in the early stages of growth , such as seed germination and rooting of cuttings. By establishing an early symbiotic relationship, plants can take full advantage of the benefits of mycorrhizae throughout their life cycle.

During transplanting , it is also a good time to apply mycorrhizae. Sprinkling mycorrhizae into the planting hole ensures that the roots come into direct contact with the fungi, facilitating rapid colonization. Additionally, during the growing cycle, mycorrhizae can be applied through irrigation to maintain a healthy population of fungi in the root system.

Plant Revolution: How to use their products?

Great White Premium Mycorrhizae®

Great White Premium Mycorrhizae® is an advanced formulation combining endo and ecto mycorrhizae, beneficial bacteria and Trichoderma, designed to maximize plant health and performance. This blend creates a microbial system in and on plant roots, significantly improving water and nutrient uptake.

How to use:

1. Seeds: To ensure successful germination and rapid root development, it is recommended to lightly dust the seeds with Great White . This initial application facilitates early colonization of the roots by mycorrhizae, promoting vigorous growth from the beginning.
2. Cuttings: When preparing cuttings, dip the cutting first in a rooting gel or solution and then in Great White powder. Additionally, Great White can be mixed into the pre-soak solution or fertilizer at a rate of 1 tablespoon (5 grams) per 8 gallons (8 quarts) of water . This helps establish a mycorrhizal network in the early stages of cutting development.
3. Transplanting: During transplanting, lightly dust the planting hole with Great White and place the plant directly on top. This method ensures immediate contact between the roots and the beneficial fungi, facilitating rapid colonization and adaptation of the plant to the new environment.
4. Soil, Coco and Topfeeding: For regular applications, mix 1 tablespoon (5 grams) per 8 liters of water and apply during irrigation. This procedure ensures an even distribution of mycorrhizae and beneficial bacteria in the substrate, promoting healthy and sustained growth.
5. Hydroponic Growing: Mix Great White into the nutrient reservoir at a rate of 1 tablespoon (5 grams) per 10 gallons (40 liters) of water . It is normal for sediment to form at the bottom of the reservoir, which does not affect the effectiveness of the product. This sediment is the carrier agent that settles out and should not be a concern for growers.

King Crab - Liquid Bacterial Product

King Crab is a liquid bacterial product containing a high concentration of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria improve the absorption of phosphorus and micronutrients, essential for higher yields and high quality flowers.

How to use:

1. Existing Soil or Plants: Mix 1/2 ml of King Crab per gallon of water and saturate the root ball with the solution. King Crab can be applied by hand watering, mixed into a fertigation system, or sent through drip lines. This method ensures that the beneficial bacteria are delivered directly to the roots, where they can establish themselves and begin improving nutrient uptake.
2. Hydroponic Growing: In hydroponic systems, mix 1/2 ml per 4 liters of water . King Crab can be used with any fertilizer line, making it very versatile and easy to integrate into existing nutrition programs. Weekly application of King Crab is recommended to maintain a high population of beneficial bacteria, continually optimizing nutrient uptake by the plants.
3. Concentration: While King Crab can be used in higher concentrations than recommended, the dosage should not be exceeded by more than 5 times the suggested amount. King Crab is a concentrated and potent product, so the recommended dosages are generally sufficient to achieve excellent results.
