DIEHARD™ Endo Drench is formulated with live beneficial
endomycorrhizal fungi to inoculate the roots of containerized plants
in the nursery. It contains highly selected species of low host
specificity endomycorrhizal fungi that will quickly colonize the
roots of containerized, bench, or field bed grown plants. When
water and soluble nutrients are amply provided non-mycorrhizal
seedlings can grow well in artificial growing media. However, until
they form mycorrhizae, 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 plants, or plants with “nursery fungi”, poorly
adapted to individual species or field conditions. Horticultural
Alliance, Inc. supplies DIEHARD™ Endo Drench spores of native
mycorrhizal fungi that are specific to particular plants and
function effectively in both nursery and field environments.
Each pound treats 5,000 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 with a backpack sprayer. Care should be taken to
insure that spores applied are drenched into the media to the level
of the roots. Second application just as you are hardening off the
crop for shipment. 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 Endomycorrhizal
colonization. Organic nitrogen fertilizers are recommended.
