WHAT IS IT?
Myconate® contains the biologically active isoflavone - formononetin which is a natural signaling compound that stimulates the development of mycorrhizal fungi.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Myconate® increases the growth and colonization of roots by beneficial Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi
An enhanced VAM mycorrhizal network effectively increases the absorbing surface area of roots and hence the amount of soil available to support the plant. This enables the plant to access and absorb more water, which is especially beneficial under dry conditions.
VAM also have the ability to extract soil nutrients which the plant cannot normally access, this makes plants with well-developed mycorrhizal systems more fertilizer efficient and enables plants to perform better under conditions of high soil cation exchange capacity (CEC)

VAM increase the ability of plants
to absorb water and nutrients by
increasing the effective absorbing
surface area of root systems
Field trials have shown that
VAM increase yields of most
agricultural crops grown
under standard practices
WHICH CROPS WILL BENEFIT FROM MYCONATE APPLICATIONS?
Field trials have shown that VAM increase yields of most agricultural crops grown under standard practices. Please view the Performance Data for Row Crops, Cereals and Alfalfa, Vegetables and Special Applications respectively.
