Mycorrhizae are mobilized major nutrients like, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and also certain micronutrients like zinc, calcium, iron, magnesium and manganese. Mycorrhizal inoculation enhanced absorption water, storage and movement back into plants enhances tolerance to drought. Mycorrhizae produce specific antibiotics, which immobilize and kill soil borne pathogens. Mycorrhizal inoculation reduces the chemical fertilizer application up to 40% from recommended dose. 

Mode of action
The network of fungal filaments established simultaneously inside the roots and the surrounding rhizosphere soil to which the root system has access. Water and minerals from the soil are easily available resulting in a better nutritive equilibrium. These result in an increase in plant resistance to environmental stress such as drought, chilling and the detrimental effect of some root pathogens.
Fungi are heterotrophs and they benefit it by obtaining from their plant partners increased sources of carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins and other elements which are essential for its growth and development. This interaction between plants and fungi creates a real symbiotic relationship and is advantageous to both the partners.

Dosage and Application
5  kgs of VAM per Hectare is recommended along with the 1000 kgs of organic manure or vermicompost.

VAM can also be applied along with other Bio-inputs. For horticultural crops and plantation trees apply 25 gms / plant.
