What Is Myke?

MYKE is short for Mycorrhizae. MYKE is a brand of mycorrhizal fungi products designed to enhance plant growth by improving root health and soil fertility. 

Mycorrhizae refers to a symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots. Plants gain improved access to essential nutrients (like phosphorus, nitrogen, and micronutrients) and water. Mycorrhizal fungi help increase the root surface area and enhance nutrient uptake.

Benefits of Using MYKE Mycorrhizae
Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: MYKE Mycorrhizae products help plants absorb nutrients more efficiently, particularly phosphorus, which is crucial for root development and energy transfer.

Improved Water Absorption: The extensive fungal hyphae network increases the root system’s ability to access water..

Increased Root Growth: Mycorrhizal fungi promote healthier and more vigorous root development.

Enhanced Soil Structure: Mycorrhizal fungi can help improve soil structure by forming aggregates, which enhances soil aeration and reduces erosion.

How to Use MYKE Mycorrhizae
Application: MYKE Mycorrhizae products come in various forms, at Van Dongen's ours comes in a powder, The application method involves pushing the MYKE around the rootball of plants or mixing the product with soil while planting.

Timing: Apply MYKE Mycorrhizae at planting time or during transplanting to ensure the fungi establish a relationship with the plant’s root system from the beginning.

Coverage: Make sure to cover the root area thoroughly to maximize the contact between the fungi and the plant roots.
