Katyayani Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) is an eco-friendly biofertilizer available in liquid formulation that enhances plant productivity and soil fertility. This beneficial fungus forms a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, significantly improving nutrient uptake and overall plant health.
Contain: 1200 IP per ml
Key Benefits:
Using Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) provides several advantages:
- Improved Root Growth: Enhances root development and overall plant vigor.
- Stress Resistance: Helps plants overcome stress conditions such as drought and disease incidence.
- Reduced Chemical Fertilizer Use: Fungi can provide essential nutrients to plants, decreasing the need for chemical fertilizers.
- Increased Biomass: Promotes greater biomass production in plants.
- Soil Structure Improvement: Enhances soil stability and aeration, facilitating better water infiltration.
- Disease Resistance: Increases plant resistance to certain soil-borne diseases.
- Water Absorption: Mycorrhizae supplement root hairs for improved water absorption, helping plants maintain relative water content during drought conditions.
Mode of Action:
After application, VAM fungi enhance the uptake of phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur, and other nutrients from the soil. By extending the root system into surrounding soil, they help plants cope with water stress. The mycorrhizae grow closely with plant roots, promoting both plant productivity and soil fertility.
