BCCM/MUCL is hosting the BCCM-expo in the frame of 'Printemps des Sciences' in Louvain-La-Neuve.
During the opening ceremony, MUCL Director Prof. Declerck participated in a panel discussion on soil biology, mentioning the role of #mycorrhyzae

'You should also incorporate inoculation with mycorrhyzae into the planting schedule. Mycorrhyzal inoculation induces #phytoalexin response in plants, which suppress fungal infections, ward off insects, and can be lethal to nematodes.'
- Gary Strachan
Dear Matt Matt Powers I've had great success sprinkling #mycorrhyzae powder around the roots of #trees & watering in 💚 TYSM for the joyous work you do! 🙏
Oh Cannabis #Mycorrhyzae can also be used in sterile substrates like rockwool. Apply early to get the most benefit in the form of fungal protection, but also useful in flowering as 'less mobile' nutrients like #P have their uptake enhanced.👨🌾
Teagasc Forestry 🌳🌲🌳🌲 @teagasc 1. Provenance is crucial.
2. A mix not a monoculture is best.
3. A different model and philososopy is needed.
4. The importance of the soil and mycorrhyzae is key.
Lydia Jennings, Ph.D. Not sure how much they excite anyone else, but I always have an instant top two:
1) The communication via and nutritional symbiosis of plants with mycorrhyzae!
2) The sheer volume of carbon that was/can be/is supposed to be locked in the soil as organic matter!
Kristin Crouch I used to believe that, but by adding mycorrhizae to the roots I have found trees sprouting back from the brown bits! :) #gardening #mycorrhyzae #trees
