It is a <strong>symbiotic association between specific fungi species and<\/strong> <strong>vascular plants<\/strong>; which means they have a structure mainly composed of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. Indeed, most of our Planet&#8217;s flora has this type of plant, so more than 90% of plant life belongs to the planets with symbiotic relationships known as mycorrhizae.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/micorrizas-bajo-tierra.jpg.webp\" alt=\"what are mycorrhizae\" class=\"wp-image-55445\" title=\"what are mycorrhizae\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Mycorrhizas\u2019 role is essential for plants&#8217; survival, as it <strong>hydrates them and offers nutrients<\/strong>, among others.

Before using such products, it is necessary to create the right environment for them to take root. For this, the crop must be 100% organic. By adding fertilisers to the soil, you will facilitate their emergence or establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, it is <strong>counterproductive to use fertilisers<\/strong> along with mycorrhizae, as their non-organic composition will kill the fungi in contact with them. It should also be borne in mind that <strong>plowing, digging or similar<\/strong> work on the soil <strong>destroys the hyphae<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GB The Green Brand&#8217;s catalogue offers a <strong>wide range of products to add mycorrhizae to the crop<\/strong>.
