Mycorrhizae: Potential in the Landscape Keywords: alternative substrates, fertility, fungus, new products, tree health, soil amendments I n last monthâs Buckeye I described mycorrhizae and their basic functions. Briefly, mycorrhizae are an association of certain types of fungi with the roots of plants. Mycorrhizal associations can improve plant nutrition by increasing their absorptive capacity for water and nutrients. In this article Iâll explore the significance and potential of mycorrhizae in the landscape.
Some plants will not survive more than a few months without mycorrhizae, including the genera Abies, Larix, Picea, Pinus, Carpinus, Fagus, and Quercus
Products containing ecto- and/or endomycorrhizal fungi are currently being marketed to the green industry; apparently they are also being advertised to homeowners. The question is, will these additions really help? The products are relatively expensive, so the question is an important one.
What research shows.

Looking at VA Mycorrhizae
"...it is usually impossible to tell whether or not a root system is mycorrhizal without staining and microscopic examination."
Mycorrhizal Symbiosis , Smith and Read 1997        Mycorrhizal studies should be simple.  VA mycorrhizae are abundant, free if one wants to take the time to collect field samples, quite reasonably priced if ordering pure cultures from INVAM (the US organization for the distribution and maintenance of mycorrhizal cultures) and tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, soils, moisture levels, and plant hosts.  In practice, though, mycorrhizae are quite difficult to study, and development of simpler and more exact techniques has occupied much of the time and energy of the field.
      There are several obstacles for researchers to overcome: 1) Mycorrhizae are obligate symbionts.  Although a few species of ectomycorrhizae have been cultured in nutrient agar, I am not aware of any endomycorrhizae that have been cultured without plant hosts.
2) VA mycorrhizae grow inside opaque plant roots, necessitating some technique for making roots transparent or looking through the roots.  (Extraradical hyphae can be seen with only the help of a light microscope.)
3) Soil is even more opaque than roots, making field studies of VA mycorrhizae by their very nature artificial.  Most techniques for studying VA mycorrhizae in the field involve construction of clear walls against which mycorrhizal roots grow, or the removal of mycorrhizae from soil.

Florida Garden Add this important biological partnership to your plant roots for top performance... Plants treated with mycorrhizae (my - koh - rý - zee) are much better able to tolerate drought, salty or damaged soils, and can perform better in disturbed and low fertility soils. Plants treated with mycorrhizae need less water and fertilizer which means less waste of our natural resources and less pollution from fertilizer runoff — two of the greatest environmental issues facing Florida today The word "mycorrhizae" means "fungus roots" and defines the close mutually beneficial relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots. "Mycorrhizae are living organisms that form a symbiotic relationship with plants. That's necessary because fungi are not capable of performing photosynthesis to make life-sustaining sugars and carbohydrates. Plants provide carbohydrates for the fungi in return for the fungi picking up more nutrients from the soil."

What are Mycorrhizae? The word "Mycorrhizae" literally means "fungus-roots" and defines the beneficial relationship between soil fungi and plant roots. Click Here to see Mycorrhizal pine seedlings growing in a glass box. Miles of white fungal filaments radiate from the root system of these little trees. Benefits include:
  • Improved nutrient and water uptake Improved root and plant growth Improved disease resistance Reduced stress from transplanting or drought
Do I need to add Mycorrhizae? In today's man-made environments plants can be greatly stressed. Environments often suffer from man-made disturbances like asphalt, concrete, compaction, top soil loss, and the absence of quality organic matter. These conditions reduce the ability of the Mycorrhizal fungus to survive and thrive. The relationship between fungi and roots are important. Artificial landscapes impact the Mycorrhizae relationship. Many nursery and agricultural soils lack Mycorrhizae due to excessive and long-term uses of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Without the Mycorrhizal fungi, plants require more water and nutrients and are more susceptible to infestations of insects and diseases than they would in their natural environments. click here to e-mail our customer service.

A flourishing landscape two months after using mycorrhizal inoculants at planting.
We purchase insurance for our cars, our houses, and ourselves. What about for the trees and shrubs you install? Naturally you want your landscape installations to have the best opportunity to succeed. You choose healthy stock plants, insure proper planting depth and choose the ideal location. However, after you leave the job site, care of the plant is often then left to the property owner, and here is when most plants fail. Plants succumb for a variety of reasons including over- or under-watering, shock of transplant stress and lack of proper nutrition. Wouldn't it be great if you could leave behind something that would help insure against common plant neglect? This is where mycorrhizae play an essential role.

In the scientific literature, endomycorrhizae are sometimes referred to as vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM), or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), because under the microscope the fungal hyphae growing within the plant roots resemble vesicles (little sacs) or arbuscles (little tree-shaped growths).

Organic agriculture enhances and utilizes natural processes. Among the natural biological processes that contribute to soil nutrient management are symbioses between plants and bacteria (as in nitrogen fixation) or fungi (as in mycorrhizas). How do AM fungi benefit crop growth?

mycorrhiza
The tree and fungus both benefit from their symbiotic relationship. Mutually beneficial (mutualistic) association occurring between plant roots and a soil fungus. Mycorrhizal roots take up nutrients more efficiently than non-mycorrhizal roots, and the fungus benefits by obtaining carbohydrates from the plant or tree. An ectotrophic mycorrhiza occurs on many tree species, which usually grow much better, most noticeably in the seeding stage, as a result. Typically the roots become repeatedly branched and coral-like, penetrated by hyphae of a surrounding fungal mycelium . In an endotrophic mycorrhiza , the growth of the fungus is mainly inside the root, as in orchids. Such plants do not usually grow properly, and may not even germinate, unless the appropriate fungus is present.

This is especially true for soils that are degraded, compacted, lack organic matter, or suffer from fertilizer and pH imbalances. For millions of years, trees and shrubs had to survive drought, extreme temperatures, lack of nutrients and other stresses that threaten a plants life. To defend themselves against these stresses, plants established a favorable, symbiotic relationship with the beneficial fungi found in the soil. Mycorrhizal spore technology was developed for use in forestry over 25 years ago. Now available commercially, that same technology is being used for the problems of trees in the urban environment.

MYCORRHIZAE AND PLANT LIFE
This article explains how Mycorrhiza is a natural function of plant life and is an important microorganism for sustaining the health of most plants. Authored by: B. Probiotics T his is a brief exposition of our philosophy about the importance of working with the natural things that exist in soils for those with a philosophical bent of mind.
Mycorrhizae, microscopic fungi of remarkable powers, form a symbiotic association with about 90% of all living plants and trees. Fossilized Mycorrhizae show they were on shore to assist plants as they emerged from the oceans. It might be fair to say that without this 'helper organism' our contemporary plant life would be far less diverse and adaptable. Their usefulness to plants is no less important today than eons ago.

http://www.blm.gov/nstc/soil/fungi/index.html
Mycorrhizal Fungi What They Are and A Few Interesting Facts
  • Mycorrhizal fungi colonize the roots of many plants. Mycorrhizal fungi don’t harm the plant; on the contrary, they develop a "symbiotic" relationship that helps the plant be more efficient at obtaining nutrients and water. In return, the plant provides energy to the fungus in the form of sugars.
  • There are two main categories of mycorrhizae common to western rangelands in the United States.
    • Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae or VAM.
    • Ectomycorrhizae
    • Not all fungi are mycorrhizal. There are also fungi that help decompose the organic matter in litter and soil. However, they play a lesser role than bacteria in this important process in semi-arid and arid rangeland soils.
    Why They Are Important
    • Some plants are "mycorrhizal-obligate," meaning that they can’t survive to maturity without their fungal associate. Important mycorrhizal-obligate plants in western North America are sagebrush, bitterbrush, and some native bunchgrasses.
    • Mycorrhizae are particularly important in assisting the host plant with the uptake of phosphorus and nitrogen, two nutrients vital to plant growth.
