Mycorrhizae and fertilizer?
Sorry, not trying to beat the subject to no end, but...
I swear, that I've read somewhere here that application of fertilizer with high phosphorus or potassium (for the life of me can't remember which one) decrease the colony of mycorrhizae? Reason for asking, I have my simple set fertilizer routine, at planting time a handful of Tomato tone 3-4-6, handful of bone meal 6-12-0 into the planting hole along with a hand full of garden lime. Later on in the season, I do monthly foliar feeding as a mix of fish base Aggrand 4-3-3 with Aggrand kelp/potash 0-0-8 and Aggrand liquid bone meal 0-12-0 Based on all my standard feeding regiment, would I have to apply MycoGrow and Biotamax as a soil drench more often to keep the population of those "good" microbes where it needs to be or...? This is my first time I'll be using MycoGrow, Biotamax and Actinovate as a root dip at planting time... Thank in advance for your feedback! Regards, D |
