DIEHARD™ Ecto Drench
is formulated with live beneficial mycorrhizal fungi to inoculate
the roots of seed beds or containerized plants in the nursery. It
contains highly selected strains of low host specificity
ectomycorrhizal fungi that will quickly colonize the roots of tree
seedling. When water and soluble nutrients are amply provided
non-mycorrhizal seedlings can grow well in artificial growing
media. However, until the roots are mycorrhizal they do not
adequately take up water and nutrients upon out planting. Routine
nursery practices such as fumigation and high levels of water and
nutrients produce non-mycorrhizal seedlings or seedlings with
“nursery fungi”, which may be poorly adapted to individual species
or field conditions. Horticultural Alliance, Inc. supplies
DIEHARD™ Ecto Drench spores of native mycorrhizal fungus that are
specific to particular plants and function effectively in both
nursery and field environments.
Production study on Christmas Trees Production
Each
pound treats 100,000 seedlings. Best application method is a 2-step
process. Apply 1-2 weeks after sowing when roots have developed to
the sides of cells. Mix with sufficient water to apply as a drench
AND to insure that spores applied are drenched into the media to the
level of the roots. A second application just as plants are hardened
off for shipment is recommended if percent colonization of roots has
not been determined. After use and one week before avoid use of
phosphate fertilizers. Avoid the use of high phosphorus fertilizer,
as this treatment would have a negative effect on ectomycorrhizal
colonization . Use of organic nitrogen fertilizers is recommended.
