Plant Success - Orca Liquid Mycorrhizae

Product detailed description

Orca Liquid Mycorrhizae is an easy-to-use, all-in-one product that inoculates root zones with four strains of endomycorrhizal fungi and 11 strains of highly beneficial bacteria. They form a symbiotic relationship with plants, greatly increasing nutrient uptake, warding off pathogens and supporting plant health. Mother Nature developed these complex microbial systems over billions of years, and Orca makes it easy to use their growth- and yield-enhancing biological properties in any system and growing medium. By cultivating a complex culture of beneficial microbes, you can even help prevent root disease problems.

Endomycorrhizal fungi:
- there are two types of beneficial fungi - endomycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal
- endomycorrhizae are the most effective form of beneficial fungi for a typical indoor garden
- in nature, they tend to grow alongside vegetables, shrubs, flowers and fruit trees
- the ecto variety, however, is adapted for growing on conifers and oaks
- ecto (external) varieties tend to grow in the substrate around the roots, while endo (internal) varieties actually penetrate directly into root cells, allowing a higher level of nutrient uptake through a close symbiotic relationship

Highly beneficial bacteria
- 11 different forms of beneficial bacteria contained in Orca work to create a dominant microbial ecosystem that wards off pathogenic bacteria and fungi, thereby preventing problems such as pythium, which can destroy entire crops in an instant
- a thriving culture of microbial organisms is one of your best defences against it - a gift from Mother Nature

Use:
- for growing in substrate - 1 ml per 4 litres of water
- for hydroponic growing - 5 ml per every 20 litres of water (applied every 2 weeks during the growth and flowering phase, stopping 4 weeks before harvest)
- do not use it together with hydrogen peroxide, as it will destroy the microbes before they can multiply
