MycoBoost, 1 lb Reduces drought stress: Fungi is important to nutrient uptake as well as water uptake and storage. Reduce water and fertilizer needs: Increases the surface area of roots so plants can absorb more. Increase resistance to soil born disease: Attacks disease-causing organisms entering the root zone. Increase nutrient uptake: Releases powerful enzymes into soil to dissolve hard-to-capture nutrients. Improve soil structure: Mycorrhizal filaments produce organic glue that improves soil drainage.
