{"product_id":"root-network-mycorrhizae-microbial-inoculant","title":"Root Network: Mycorrhizae + Microbial Inoculant","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoot Network puts a full root crew into one pouch: mycorrhizal fungi, a \u003cem\u003eTrichoderma\u003c\/em\u003e, and five kinds of root bacteria. Each one does a different job down there. The mycorrhizae extend the root system's reach for water and nutrients. The \u003cem\u003eTrichoderma\u003c\/em\u003e, the same kind of fungus as in our T-22, settles on the root surface and spreads along it as the roots grow. And the \u003cem\u003eBacillus\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePseudomonas\u003c\/em\u003e bacteria live on and around the roots and support root growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing it is a watering. You stir a gram into a gallon of water and pour it into the root zone, or dust it straight onto bare roots while you repot. After that, repeat the drench once a month. Nothing to spray, and nothing that stays on the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is sold exactly like our T-22, by the gallons of drench each pouch makes, one gram to the gallon. The difference is what's inside. T-22 is one fungus on its own. Root Network carries a \u003cem\u003eTrichoderma\u003c\/em\u003e too, and adds the mycorrhizae and the root bacteria alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt isn't a fertilizer and it isn't plant food. The only non-living ingredient is dextrose, a simple sugar the organisms travel on. It is the living part of a healthy root zone, added at the moments that zone is starting from scratch and topped up once a month after that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repotting and potting up, when the roots are exposed and the mix is fresh, then a monthly drench into the root zone during a normal watering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much:\u003c\/strong\u003e One gram per gallon of water. Sizes are sold by the gallons of drench they make, from 5 gallons (5 grams) to 250 gallons (250 grams).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArrives as:\u003c\/strong\u003e A light olive-green powder in a sealed pouch with a desiccant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sealed, cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. The powder pulls moisture from the air, so reseal the pouch after every use and leave the desiccant in. Sealed and stored that way, it keeps for 18 months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow you'll know:\u003c\/strong\u003e There's nothing to see on the surface. It all happens in the root zone, and you judge it at the roots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feeding a plant, or insects and fungus gnats. And don't drench it together with a fungicide: the mycorrhizae and the \u003cem\u003eTrichoderma\u003c\/em\u003e in it are fungi too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#F6F4F1;border:1px solid #E7E4DF;padding:30px 32px 8px;margin:36px 0;font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',sans-serif;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.6;color:#2E3A26\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:9px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.22em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#6A6A63;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003eField Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:'Instrument Serif',Georgia,serif;font-size:27px;font-weight:400;line-height:1.15;color:#1A2810;margin:0 0 4px\"\u003eRoot Network\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;color:#6A6A63;margin:0 0 4px\"\u003eMycorrhizae + microbial inoculant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:9px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.22em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#1A2810;margin:26px 0 2px;padding-top:14px;border-top:2px solid #E07D5A;display:inline-block\"\u003eWhat's in it\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:4px 20px;padding:11px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #E7E4DF\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:0 0 148px;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#6A6A63;line-height:1.5;padding-top:2px\"\u003eMycorrhizae\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 280px\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eGlomus intraradices\u003c\/em\u003e, an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus. 600 propagules per gram, minimum\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:4px 20px;padding:11px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #E7E4DF\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:0 0 148px;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#6A6A63;line-height:1.5;padding-top:2px\"\u003eBeneficial fungus\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 280px\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTrichoderma harzianum\u003c\/em\u003e. 1.5 × 10\u003csup\u003e8\u003c\/sup\u003e CFU per gram, minimum\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:4px 20px;padding:11px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #E7E4DF\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:0 0 148px;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#6A6A63;line-height:1.5;padding-top:2px\"\u003eRoot bacteria\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 280px\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBacillus amyloliquefaciens\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eB. subtilis\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eB. licheniformis\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eB. megaterium\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePseudomonas putida\u003c\/em\u003e. 5.0 × 10\u003csup\u003e8\u003c\/sup\u003e CFU per gram, minimum, combined\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:4px 20px;padding:11px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #E7E4DF\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:0 0 148px;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#6A6A63;line-height:1.5;padding-top:2px\"\u003eCarrier\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 280px\"\u003eDextrose monohydrate.
