Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza

Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) forms symbiotic associations with over 80% of terrestrial plants. As a natural source of phosphorus in plants, VAM enhances nutrient uptake, root development, and stress tolerance, reducing fertilizer dependency.

Benefits

Mode of Action

Root Colonization: VAM spores germinate and penetrate root cortical cells, forming arbuscules (nutrient exchange sites) and vesicles (storage structures).

Hyphal Network Extension: Extraradical hyphae explore soil pores inaccessible to roots, mobilizing phosphorus and micronutrients.

Nutrient Exchange: Plants deliver photosynthates (sugars) to fungi in exchange for P, Zn, Cu, and water, optimizing growth.

Soil Enhancement: Hyphal glomalin production promotes soil aggregation and long-term carbon sequestration, supporting soil health.

Additional Info

VAM fungi colonize plant roots, extending external hyphae into the soil to access immobile nutrients—primarily phosphorus—from microniches beyond the root depletion zone. This organic mycorrhizae solution improves soil structure by aggregating particles, increasing water retention, and fostering beneficial microbial communities. VAM inoculation is compatible with diverse cropping systems, including horticultural, field, and greenhouse cultivation.

Dosage & Application

Soil Drench: Apply 100–200 g of VAM inoculum per m² at transplanting.

Seed Coating: Coat 1 kg of seed with 20–30 g inoculum.

Root Dip: Dip seedling roots in a slurry of 10 g inoculum per liter of water before transplanting.

FAQ

What is the vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza?

Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) refers to a group of symbiotic fungi (Glomeromycota) that colonize plant roots to enhance nutrient and water uptake through specialized structures called arbuscules and vesicles.

What are the benefits of arbuscular mycorrhizae?

Arbuscular mycorrhizae improve plant health by increasing phosphorus absorption, enhancing drought tolerance, suppressing soil-borne pathogens, and boosting overall biomass and yield.

What is the purpose of VAM?

The primary purpose of VAM is to facilitate efficient nutrient exchange—especially phosphorus—from soil to plant roots, promoting stronger, more resilient crops with reduced chemical fertilizer requirements.

What are the advantages of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae?

Advantages include improved nutrient use efficiency, enhanced root architecture, increased soil structure stability, greater resistance to abiotic stresses, and compatibility with organic mycorrhizae management systems.
