Dosage & Application

Application Method for Rhizophagus irregularis


Soil Inoculation:
Mix 250g of Rhizophagus irregularis with a sufficient amount of water to create a solution. Apply this solution uniformly to cover 400 sqm (478 sq yards) of soil. This enhances root colonization and improves nutrient uptake, particularly phosphorus.

Seed Coating/Seed Treatment:
Prepare a slurry by mixing 10-15 grams of Rhizophagus irregularis spores in a sufficient amount of water. Coat 1 kg of seeds thoroughly with the slurry to ensure even coverage. Allow the seeds to dry in the shade before sowing. This method establishes early-stage colonization of mycorrhizal fungi, boosting plant health from germination.

Seedling Treatment:
Mix 100 grams of Rhizophagus irregularis with water to prepare a solution. Dip the roots of the seedlings into the solution for 30 minutes prior to transplanting. This ensures direct contact of fungal spores with the roots, leading to faster symbiosis establishment.

Soil Amendment with Organic Fertilizers:
Combine 2.5 - 5 kg of Rhizophagus irregularis spores with well-decomposed organic manure or organic fertilizers. Incorporate this mixture into the soil at the time of planting or sowing to improve root-zone colonization and nutrient cycling.

Irrigation Application:
Dissolve 2.5 - 5 kg of Rhizophagus irregularis in a sufficient amount of water. Apply the solution through soil drenching or drip irrigation systems to penetrate the root zones effectively. This method is ideal for crops already in the vegetative or flowering stage, ensuring prolonged fungal activity.

Foliar Spray (Optional):
While not a direct application for Rhizophagus irregularis, a water-based suspension can be sprayed on the soil surface around plants to ensure spores reach the root zone during irrigation or rainfall.
