VAM – Vesicular Arbuscular Mychorrhizae

VAM is VAM fungi (Vesicular Arbuscular Mychorrhizae). The symbiotic association between plant roots and fungal mycelia is termed as mycorrhizae. It acts as an extension of root absorbing surface. These fungi can improve the plant growth through increased nutrient uptake of phosphorus, sulphur, calcium and zinc.

VAM – genera Glomus sp.,Gigaspora sp.,Acaulospora sp., Scutellospora sp. & Sclerocystis sp.

Formulation : Powder

Recommended Crops

Pepper, Cardamom, Ragi, Citrus, Clove, Tea, Coffee, Cocoa, Banana, Pepper, Rubber, Mango and other perennial crops

    Description

     

    Mode of action – uptake of nutrients

    The P ions are readily adsorbed on clay complexes and diffuse slowly in the soil so that a depletion zone quickly develops around the actively absorbing rootlets. Fungal hyphae can explore the soil beyond the depletion zone and transport phosphate back into the root.

    The phosphate is translocated into the mycelium in the root and is released for use by plants.

    Further these fungi are known to enhance resistance to diseases and help the host plant to take up moisture more efficiently under moisture stress condition.

    VAM fungi transports N, K, Ca, Mg along the fungal mycelium in a manner similar to phosphorus.

    • Increases nutrient and water uptake
    • Improves soil and plant ecosystem
    • Increases plant growth and establishment
    • Increases yield
    • Reduces transplant stress and plant loss
    • Improves soil structure and porosity
    • Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers
    • Improves drought tolerance
    • Improves resistance to soil borne pathogens like Phythium sp, Fusarium Sp, Rhizoctonia sp, Phytopthroa etc.
    Methord of Application
    Nursery

    In nurseries this should be applied 2-3 cm below the top soil at the time of sowing.

    Main field

    For existing crops 20-200 gm inoculam is required depending on plant size. Before application crack the topsoil and maintain enough moisture and organic matter.

    Storage

    Keep in dry and cool place. Do not expose to direct sunlight or heat.
