In this interview James from Santiam Organics we find out more about their products at the Maximum Yield Trade Show in Los Angeles 2015. 
Santiam Organics is based out of Oregon and they are a mycorrhizal manufacturer. What they provide for this industry is an endomycorrhizal product only, so we have the Myco-Fusion Green 150. It’s an endomycorrhizzae-only product specific to fast-growing annuals.

The way they manufacture products are natural and organic. It seems to be a lot more effective as a product when it’s applied to the root zone.

Some to take note: when you’re using a pre-inoculum endomycorrhizzae, you’re going to want to dust the roots. A lot of people put in the planting hole, do other things with it, which is okay, but once again we want to dust the roots with a pre-inoculum, so we have endomycorrhizal products specifically to fast-growing annuals that gets dusted to the root zone.

This is a soluble product for the gardeners that are already in the ground or are even planted, so we have a soluble product mixed with water, water in for those who still want to inoculate but maybe didn’t get to on transplant day.

The Myco-Fusion Rhizo-Charge is our transplant tool. This goes into the planting hole. So this product here, you dust to the roots. This goes in the transplant hole. You set your root ball on top of it, back fill, tuck in your plant.

This is a micro-mycorrhizae super food. It’s also a plant food, other organisms for the plant; good overall plant response, zero transplant shock. We’re trying to help out plants settle in, get growing sooner than later. No transplant shock is really what we’re after here.

Then there is Bio-Jolt. This is a soluble product that is intended to be watered in every 10 and 14 days. Some people will call it a composts. We just like to call it overall biological inoculant for the medium. There’s a little bit of plant nutrient here as well. So upload. We get a really good plant response, overall benefit to the soil, more soil organisms, replenishing the army, getting better flavors and yields out of this product as well.

We typically recommend on transplant day, it’s a three-part system, so we have a dusting of the roots into the transplant hole and then the water in.

Maintenance program will be the Bio-Jolt every 10 to 14 days throughout the crop cycle.

The Myco-Fusion product line represents the culmination of over 17 years of product research and development with a focus on indoor gardening needs.  Myco-Fusion products contain high population counts of mycorrhizal fungi, but additionally, they possess a host of other organisms that aid in plant growth and health. The Myco-Fusion line consists of all three types of mycorrhizae, as well as Rhizo-Charge and Bio-Jolt companion products, both which are designed to maximize yield. 
Santiam Organics is a producer of bio-based products for the home consumer. Santiam, unlike many other companies offering similar products, is rooted in science and only provides products that have been researched and have been proven to provide significant benefit to the plants they are applied to. Our goal at Santiam is to allow individuals to grow plants organically, without the need of harmful chemicals, and still reap the bounty of increased plant health, tolerance to adverse environmental conditions (such as drought and high soil salinity), more efficient use of water, resistance to many diseases, and last, but not least, increased fruit and flower production.

The technology behind the Santiam products has been a topic of study for close to 70 years, but the organisms that are used in the products have been helping plants flourish for millions of years. Research has found proof of mycorrhizal fungi (Santiam’s primary component in all of the products) in fossils dating back to the age of dinosaurs.

The Santiam staff has a combined total of over 75 years of producing bio-based mycorrhizal products. That’s more than any other competitor on the market. In all those years, we have learned two very important things:
​
Producing a quality product with viable and available spores is paramount
Correct application of any bio-based product is critical to ensuring successful transfer of the organisms.
Working in the garden creating a healthy harvest provides you with a sense of achievement and feelings of success.  When working with plants and hydroponic systems there is wide variety of products each designed with a specific purpose.
