Once colonisation takes place, microscopic fungal structures known as hyphae extend beyond the plant's existing root system and explore a greater volume of growing media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis expanded biological network can improve the plant's ability to access available water and nutrients. In return, the plant supplies the beneficial fungus with carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis, allowing the relationship to continue as the root system develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal for Transplanting \u0026amp; Root Establishment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGranular MYKOS is particularly well suited to transplanting because the inoculant can be positioned directly around the root zone.
