Scott Sutton They’re wasting their time. Those waterboxes or whatever the hell they are cost so much for the production of one plant it’s ridiculous that they would even bother. Just mulch. The top layer of mulch dries out and loses vapor permeance the dryer it gets. A perfect system that doesn’t require tillage and drilling holes and all this bs.

Thar pretty cool. My hypothesis is that the fungi provides specific nutrients to the plants. So when one plant requires different nutrients ratio it could be why it did not work.
How long does that fungus need to get active? I am planing to try it with my Cannabis Plants, but i usualy repot them 2 Times so i am not sure if that is a Problem.
So you put one with half nutrients and no mycorrhizae and another with full nutrients and mycorhizzae? Of course the one with full nutrients will grow bigger/healthier?
From what I have been reading this is one situation where mycorrhiza fungi can be effective...soilless sterile medium . Adding to actual soil beds seems to be relatively ineffective...
this is actually the other way around.. mychorhizzae are most effective in the ground, where nutrients are plentiful. soilles mixes are actually more effective being fertilized than inoculation.
Hello professor I am hlainghlaing. I studied arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi treatment in maize. Do you help me your knowledge share and your experience Best regards Hlainghlaing
I'm not sure but I found one article ("Fungus Consumption (Mycophagy) by Small Animals" by Fogel & Trappe 1978) that says: "Grazing of mycorrhizal fungi accounts for about 75 percent of the small mammal mycophagy in terms of the reports listed [...], evaluated as known or presumed mycorrhizal taxa (Trappe, 1962, 1971). If only reports of stomach contents are considered, the percentage is considerably higher. Mycophagy of saprophytes, necrotrophic symbionts, or predators, on the other hand, can be regarded as part of the decomposer process and accounts for about 25 percent of the reports. " Other things that can kill soil fungi include: 1.) Too much compaction of soil 2.) Fungicides 3.) Chemicals eg fertilizers, pesticides, air pollution 4.) Digging up the soil
University of Leipzig published evidence last year that only tomatoes in Real Soil can cooperate with their mycorrhiza and synthetize certain amino acids leading to better taste. Where to get the mycorrhiza?
If you really want to prove your point, you give both samples the same amount of fertilizer and only change 1 variable: with mycorrhiza without mycorrhiza
It's a little unclear, but she definitely said that one of the plants had half the fertilizer. The first time she said it, she said the smaller plants got half fertilizer, then second time she said the larger plants got half but could uptake it better b/c of the mycorrhizae.
Better pay attention, might not be obvious but she was referring that both took half of the fertilizer they usually did. ;-) So the only variable is in fact the mycorrhizae fungi. Cheers
@@crpth1 She said both plants received half but that was what made it confusing as the half seem not an arbitrary reduction as if there was a significant reason to mention half at all. I had to rewind twice to see if I missed something.
It is because the test was whether you can get yields using much less water. Both treated and control had same conditions, only difference being one has mycorrhiza whereas other doesn't. The test shows that you can use much less water and fertilizer by amending the soil with myco.
Great video. It’s so interesting to see how the mycorrhizal fungi reacts with the test group vs control. Really curious about the cucumber seedlings 🌱
This explains why the Dutch tomatoes in my local grocers taste amazing ☺️☺️☺️ very interesting 😊 thank you for sharing your knowledge and tomatoes ☺️
you lucky 😊

The way I understand it different strains of mycorrhizae work better for different plants
So I've heard , as well
🤔💭💭
Love this experiment to see if products truly work
the mycorrhizae in the cucumbers reacted to protect the other plants
So interestimg, but the godawful music...
Honestly their song was the best, super hip they should play it in the club!
Yep, thumbs down and a "do not recommend channel" from me.
Could a lack of mycorrhizae fungi possibly explain why some plants in planter boxes and large pots do poorly?
How long does that fungus need to get active? I am planing to try it with my Cannabis Plants, but i usualy repot them 2 Times so i am not sure if that is a Problem.
what culture substrate did you use in your experiment
Why do you put perlite on top covering the dirt? Curious....
lot of perlit in the mix and it floats to the top when watering heavy
Also allows aeration. Help prevent bad fungi growth
So you put one with half nutrients and no mycorrhizae and another with full nutrients and mycorhizzae? Of course the one with full nutrients will grow bigger/healthier?
Very nice
From what I have been reading this is one situation where mycorrhiza fungi can be effective...soilless sterile medium . Adding to actual soil beds seems to be relatively ineffective...
Yeah, she also mentioned the other substrate had half the amount fertilizer...

Endomycorrhiza??
🇰🇪located ak KENYA where can i Get this Mycorrhizae bio organic fertilizer pls?
I'm wondering, is there any animal that eats mychorrihzae?
Like springtails or arthropods?
No

What is that white sand type material in which plants are seeded initially?
Looks like perlite
May I use micoryzaha in pro tray
University of Leipzig published evidence last year that only tomatoes in Real Soil can cooperate with their mycorrhiza and synthetize certain amino acids leading to better taste.
Where to get the mycorrhiza?
What about a medium using peat moss and worm castings?
@@Editnamehere Mycorrhiza can survive with the worm castings.
Mycorrhizal fungi can only survive with a host plant. the medium doesn't really matter. @@katipohl2431
If I need to replant a newly acquired plant, how do I get rid of the old one without causing damage to mycorrhizae fungi?.
cut the stem of the old one. Leave the root network in the ground. Plant the new seed. It will grow into the already established fungal net.
@@runed0s86 thank youu
Why did the mycorrhizal fungi treatment not work for cucumbers? 😯
it did, but it takes longer to see results with them.
How do we get the mycorrhiza here in Uganda?
Inoculate your soil with mushroom spores
Nice 🌹
thats a pretty serious pillow... i sleep on rocks....
What happened to cucumber
It worked but was not profitable like the tomatoes were,
I guess cucumbers are one of those plants which does not benefit from "Mycorrhizae" fungi.
They benefit waaay more than tomatoes (think 2-3x the size), but they focused on the tomatoes for the series.
THAT TOLD ME NOTHING
If you really want to prove your point, you give both samples the same amount of fertilizer and only change 1 variable:
with mycorrhiza
without mycorrhiza
thats what she did

She said it @1:38! Pay attention and quit sleeping in class!! 🤣
plastic !
Its not much of a test if you also change other aspects eg half the nutrients... shame
