PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae
PRO-MIX® HP MYCORRHIZAE™ is a high porosity peat-based growing medium ideal for water sensitive crops, rooting cutting and/or low-light growing conditions that contains a beneficial mycorrhizal inoculum (Glomus intraradices). These microscopic fungi attach to and colonize root systems to benefit plants by increasing water and nutrients acquisition (especially Phosphorus, Copper and Zinc). This symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant results in overall improved plant growth. PRO-MIX HP MYCORRHIZAE™ is suitable for a wide variety of horticultural plants, especially when high air capacity and extra drainage are required.
Chemical Characteristics
PRO-MIX® HP MYCORRHIZAE™ contains a balanced nutrient charge to promote initial plant development. During the course of crop production, it is necessary to initiate a fertilization program. The program selected should consider water nutrient content, crop type and stage of plant development. Begin fertilization within 7 days after planting and maintain fertilizer applications throughout the course of crop production. To insure plants receive proper nutrition, it is advisable to periodically analyze nutrient content of fertilizer solution, growing media and plant tissue to insure proper levels of nutrients are maintained throughout the crop cycle.
Ingredients
Sphagnum Peat Moss (65-75% in volume)
Horticultural Grade Perlite
Calcitic Limestone
Dolomitic Limestone
Macronutrients
Micronutrients
Wetting Agent
MYCORRHIZAE
Physical Characteristics
Air Porosity: 14 - 20% by volume (6 inch pot)
Bulk Density: 8 - 10 lb./cu.ft. (0.13-0.16 g/cm3)
Moisture Content:30 - 50 % by weight
Saturated Weight: 55 lb./cu.ft. (880 g/l) avg
Water-Holding Capacity: 50 - 70 % by volume
Chemical Characteristics
pH Range: 5.2 - 6.2 (S.M.E.)
pH Incubated: < 6.2 after 7 days saturation (S.M.E.
Electrical Conductivity: 1.0 - 1.8 mmhos/cm (S.M.E.)
Features & Benefits:
Dries out more frequently than general purpose, peat-based mixes
Well suited for low-light growing conditions and high humidity
Less difficult to overwater crops
Reduces incidence of water related problems (root diseases, algae and fungus gnats)
Holds less water for improved leaching of fertilizer salts during crop cycle
MYCORRHIZAE improves overall growth of plants and increases yields of flowers/fruits.
High perlite content, peat-perlite based growing medium
Low water retention
Designed for water sensitive crops
Ideal for cultural conditions with low-light and excess moisture/humidity
Includes MYCORRHIZAE mycorrhizal inoculum (Glomus intraradices) fungi
Applications
Bedding Trays
Foliage
Hanging Baskets
