Myco Stress Defender is a biostimulant fertiliser with a source of nitrogen, potassium, and significant levels of amino acids. This product contains nine species of Endo Mycorrhizal fungi*, which are extremely beneficial to the turf. Myco also contains various species of trichoderma which produces compounds that stimulate plant growth, and species of bacillus, which helps the plant to produce phyto hormones that promote root growth. This fertiliser helps protect against stress and promotes recovery from harsh weather conditions and mowing, as well as the use of pesticides and fertilisers.
Mycorrhizal fungi colonise the plant’s root system and develop a symbiotic association called “mycorrhiza”. These form a network of fine filaments that associate with plant roots, and draw nutrients and water from the soil that the root system would not be able to access otherwise.
