Arbsucular Mycorrhiza
Mycorrhizae are fungi that establish symbiosis with most plants for better nutrition, tolerance to stress and balanced growth.
Origin of Mycorrhiza
What are arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)?
Plant-AMF symbiosis are formed between roots and a special group of fungi, which are taxonomically separated from all other true fungi in the phylum Glomeromycota. Fossil and molecular phylogenetic data indicate that the first land plants already harboured AMF and would probably not have been able to enter the land without.
Nutrients exchange through symbiosos
How does AMF work?
Due to plant exudates AMF spores germinate. After physical contact with the root surface fungal hyphae colonise the roots. When reaching the inner cortex, the fungus builds up the arbuscules, structures for trading-off between partners. The fungus takes up the nutrients from the soil and facilitate them to the plant in exchange of sugars from photosynthesis.

Strong roots for your crops
What benefits can I obtain using AMF?
Among benefits it is highlighted the better abiotic stress tolerance including drought, salinity and extreme temperature episodes. It facilitates mineral uptake, particularly phosphorus, zinc and copper, and the resistance to adverse soil pH. Besides recent studies have demonstrated the higher nutraceutical value of horticultural products from plants associated with AMF.
Best production method
Why to produce AMF in vivo?
Mycorrhizae are living organisms and their quality (infectivity and maturity) is key for their success. ATENS possess its own greenhouses where the mycorrhiza is reproduced in vivo. This method guarantees, compared to others, a high concentration and vitality of the spores and the absence of pathogens. The product is elaborated using last generation pharmaceutical grade technology. Strict protocols of production guarantee the homogeneity and the content in spores (the propagule with maximum effectiveness and persistence of inoculum) that each tab must contain. It is essential to know the number of spores included for the optimum dosage and success of the product.

Exclusive strains
What is Rhizoglomus irregulare BEG72?
Rhizoglomus irregulare BEG72 (former Rhizophagus intraradices) is one of the most known and studied species. Extensive scientific literature is available assessing its plant growth promoting capabilities and culture versatility. It has a very dynamic growth and ensures an efficient absorption of nutrients from the soil. BEG72 strain was isolated by the Institut de Recerca i Tecnologies Agroalimentaries (IRTA, Spain) an applied research institute of reference in agronomy.
